1,800W and die-cast aluminum plates deliver Wirecutter's most consistent four-square batches, with an LCD timer and moat that cook overflow instead of hiding it. Fixed plates are the only cost of that thermal mass.
The overall score averages substance, design, and value.
Compared with 6 other products in edition 1.

LCD timer, Waffle IQ programs, shade control, beeps, and “A Bit More.”
This product: 8 out of 10
Effective nonstick and moat, but plates are fixed rather than dishwasher-removable.
This product: 8 out of 10
Heavy stainless/cast build; fixed coated plates remain the wear constraint.
This product: 8 out of 10
Four large squares suit families, at a significant storage cost.
Its price is tied to 1,800W output, cast-aluminum plates, four-waffle capacity, a deep moat, and genuinely useful automatic timing—not cosmetic prestige. Wirecutter found it especially consistent, versatile, fast, and crisper than its four-slice rival; Serious Eats also singled out its power and easy-to-see timer.
Excellent control surface: batter-type programs, browning selection, LCD countdown, and “A Bit More.” It is heavy and broad, but that mass makes it planted rather than fussy.
Brushed stainless steel
Rigid, stable outer structure for a 14.3-lb countertop machine.
Die-cast aluminum
High plate mass supports even heating and faster back-to-back recovery.
Integrated metal moat
Catches and cooks excess batter rather than letting it set on the counter.
Substantial metal construction favors long service, but the fixed nonstick plates are not a replaceable wear module; preserve them with non-abrasive tools.
