Does this have a light or "bell" that goes off when the waffle is done?

No, directions say to check when steam stops coming out the waffle is done. I don't think any waffle makes has the feature since it varies with the type of batter you use.

Only a light - no sound. Actually a better guide is the decrease of steam exiting the sides when done.

Interesting that this one does not have one. I have a 15-year old waffle pro with a chime that worked for about the first 12 years. Still the best waffle iron I have ever had. The non-stick has started to wear off and I have had to use oil on it for about the last year. Probably baked nearly 5,000 waffles in its life...

No, it has a light, but the instructions say to watch the steam and not the light. It's a guessing game.

I bought one of these waffle makers for my grandson. He loves it and especially likes having the removable plates that can just be put in the dishwasher. I don't think it had a beeper but it does have a light to let you know when the waffle is ready.

Just a few minutes. There is a light on the exterior that lights up when the waffle is finished cooking. So far, perfect every time.

I have the 26030 waffle maker. It does not have an audible beep but does have the removeable plates. I love it.

No, it does not. Just has an audible "alarm" for when your eggs are done. It will not shut off until you walk over to it an shut it off. I believe the instructional booklet says that you should not only turn it off, but unplug the unit so it can cool off for cleaning.

No it does not have the automatic timer function which would let you hear a beeping sound when the waffle is ready. The answer Tom on 2/25/13, provided is also true. What I do, since I like to hear a beeping sound, is I set my kitchen stove timer or the egg timer... I've even set up the telephone timer. Whatever is close which will work for you. The waffle maker is super easy to use and clean. Makes great thick waffles and after many uses, it is as functionable as the first time. I do not mind setting a timer at all.

Each works independently. Basically... 1) both sides signal "ready to cook" when you warm the unit. 2) waffle one begins when you open the topmost cover, fill it, close it and spin it 180 degrees. Indicator Light on waffle one goes off. 3) waffle 2 can be started any time after step 2, but before the signal light comes back on for waffle 1, about 2-3 mins. 4) waffle 2, when you are ready, engages the same way as step 2. When you turn it 180 degrees, both waffle lights will be off. 5) based on steps above, waffle 1 light will be in top position when it indicates that waffle 1 is ready. Remove, refill, and spin 180 degrees. Repeat until all waffles are done! Hope this helps.

Sorry no. The red "baking" light will turn on immediately indicating the waffle plates are heating. Set thecolor control dial at 3 or 4.In about 4 minutes the red light will turn off, indicating the Classic WafflePro® is ready forbaking

There should be two beeps - one for when the iron is pre-heated and ready for the batter, and another after the waffles are ready. If you are using a light setting, it might beep very soon (within seconds) after you pour the batter in. This is when you should remove the waffles. I mistakenly thought it was the indicator that the iron was back to temperature after I opened it quickly to pour the batter in, but in fact, they were done that quickly. Are you failing to get a beep even using different settings (light/medium/dark)? If you aren't getting the pre-heat beep followed by a second beep, I would return the iron and/or call the manufacturer. Good luck!

Like all other microwaves, the light does come on when the door is opened. It also is on when running.

No, once the toasting cycle is finnished the light will go off after a few minutes

I cannot be sure what the machine does - it does have the indicator light which functions but I have never relied on those on any waffle iron I have had. I always watch the steam and when it stops I know the waffle is done. I have not been sorry I bought this style and it makes delicious waffles everytime.

watch the LED's... when they are all lit to the dial setting then it's at the desired temp for cooking. once you add the batter the lights will go down and then go back up to where you indicated and should beep at that point. theoretically that's when the waffles are done but sometimes you may want to let it cook a minute longer.

Yes, there is a light when you turn the switch on, and it auto turns off if the lid is closed.

the cord is short.. less than two feet.Yes, it has an indicator light.... but your waffles are not ready when it says "ready." Because this thing does not get hot enough to properly cook waffles, they must cook for 15 minutes... not 5 like the light indicates. I think mine is going in the trash. I'm tired of making waffles I don't feel like eating.

No, you have to unplug it to turn it off. Works great though a little slow cooking but perfect omelets
