Perhaps most importantly, the waffles produced by this waffle machine were the fluffiest and most satisfying bites I taste-tested.

It doesn't feature removable plates, but the Presto was still one of the easiest waffle makers to clean out of all the models I tested, thanks to the attractive ceramic finish inside the iron. Better yet, you can lock the iron in an upright, vertical position. Doing so requires a little bit of extra counter width when you use it, but it's much more compact when it's time to store it away. Enter the Presto FlipSide, which uses a clever hinged design to let you flip the entire iron like you're turning the page of a book. That approach lets you twist the thing to turn it upside down for more even cooking - but it also makes for a bulky build. Most flippable waffle makers suspend the iron in midair.
Best waffle maker update#
I'll update this post as I test more of them out, but you've got lots of decent options can be found right now if you want to make the perfect waffle.

Here's what I found after testing several of the top-rated commercial waffle irons available at major retailers. That put me in pursuit of the best waffle maker to buy - for me, for my mom and for you, reader of waffle-maker lists. (Frozen waffles just aren't the same.) I'll confess that I'd never gotten around to waffle making, so I never invested in a waffle maker for myself, and - as my mom recently informed me in a somber text exchange - the trusty Toastmaster I grew up with gave out a few years ago after decades of use. And these delicious, fluffy breakfast treats are best when homemade. There's nothing like a perfect waffle smothered in butter and syrup. Little can beat the taste of classic waffles - but you'll need a waffle maker of your own to really have the full brunch experience. Save your wallet by making brunch at home.
