Time to recover in heat loss. Ability of make 2 at once. Timing features are nice. Well worth the extra money.

the cheap ones burn out. the only problem with this one is it's hard to clean.

Waring makes a good product but the cheaper commercial models hold up to the usage as well. Waring may last longer

I haven't made just one, but I don't see why not. (who can only eat one waffle &lt;g&gt;) just pour the batter onto the one side. The setting should be the same. Let us know how it works out for you.

I am certainly not a waffle expert, but this seems to make waffles that are not as thick as Belgian, but not thin (like Scandanavian waffles); more like something in between. I use 2/3 cup of batter (as suggested in the included recipe booklet) and they are medium thickness. I imagine you could use less batter and make them thinner. They are NOT as thin as Eggo frozen waffles. Hope this helps.

That would depend on the setting you choose. I have used the medium setting so the waffle is golden and firm throughout. I assume a higher setting wld yield crispier results.

The waffles are thinner as apposed to thick, maybe 1/2 or less. Much more like a pancake with a grid pattern. (and yes different flavor) My son calls these skinny waffles. We were looking more for a thicker waffle maker, more like what you get in a hotel. If I read the question correctly you do not want cake like waffles, which I interpret as thick.

I know you specifically asked for those who have owned a Kitchen aid but please allow me to say...when I was researching between these two mixers and another brand (I cant think of right now) what did it for me.....was the warranty and also the reviews. I don't want to purchase anything where customer service literally is poor or I have to worry that within a year I will be out of an expensive item. That is what helped me to purchase the Hamilton Beach. Do your research and compare what are important elements to you in a mixer and then you will make the right decision for you.

Sorry We have only had it less than a year, but we have been putting it through heavy use, at least once a week, and when it was new two or three times a week! Have had no issues and the heating and start up times have not weakened etc. still making perfect waffles every time!

Hello Vonda, it is funny Amazon wanted me to give you feedback on biscuits, Just the other day when I looked in my pantry I thought about making them. The only differences is I was going to use Pamela's all purpose pancake and waffle flour(the flour in the yellow bag) I love Pamela's all purpose flours. Only one time did I have a total flop. Please let me know how your biscuits turn out, if you can.

This is only a wild guess, but I imagine it's the labor that goes into the finish. I bought the less expensive for my husband last Christmas (he loves to cook) and have been very satisfied. We use Barkeeper's Friend to polish it up now and then and it looks great. He has a few pieces of the more expensive type, but other than a small difference in weight, I can't tell any difference in the cooking ability. If you are a real gourmet chef, you probably won't be happy with any but the most expensive cookware. However, if you are like most of us, the less expensive will serve you well for many years. :)

I gotthis for my son and daughter in law....Theirs was lost during a move...The plate reverses.....It really is a nice waffle maker....And the plate comes out tobe washed.....Hard to find one like that. You'll love it....

Funny you should ask. I made waffles yesterday for my son. The leftover batter was only enough to fill one square. Without changing the setting, I poured the batter into one square which produced a waffle that was no different from the others. This really is a great waffle iron.

Either way it's still a waffle! Waffles have a touch more oil then pancakes as someone already mentioned prob to prevent sticking and making a big mess!

Read this little tidbit: http://verygoodfood.ca/2009/05/19/whats-the-difference-between-belgian-and-regular-waffle/After reading that, I'd say this is definitely an "American" waffle maker, but by making the proper recipe it should make great "Belgian" waffles. I found that when I was in Belgium I couldn't tell much difference in the size and shape but the texture was a bit different.

We have used our wafflemaker for just one waffle, but since there are two of us, we usually make two at a time. I am guessing that since we have made only one waffle at a time -- finishing up a bowl of batter after we've already made two, I would think you could start one and then begin the second later. There is only one on-off switch, but each waffle maker has its own light and beep to let you know when that side is ready and when that waffle is done. I'm not sure how it would work with a very delayed 2nd waffle, but since it will do one at a time, I see no reason why it wouldn't work with a delayed 2nd one.

We've had both and I don't see a difference. As long as you are using a good recipe, they fill the press with no need to flip. I don't think the waffles are any different in dimensions.

This waffle machine makes thin waffles. If you're looking for "deep pocket" waffles this is not for you.
