Ninja Belgian Waffle Maker Pro | Vertical Design | 5 Shade Settings with Precision-Pour Cup & Chef-curated Recipe Guide | Black & Silver | BW1001

Excellent, it takes approximately 3 mins to cook 1 waffle but the ease of use and clean up are worth it. The recipe book and different heat settings allows you make a pancake for everyone. However it does not make a crunchy waffle

Love this waffle maker. It works great. Love filling from the top. Seems to make more sense after using it. Waffles come out nicely cooked on both sides. Very east to clean. East to store as it sits upright. Heats up fast.

This a must for waffle lovers! ♥️ (waited 4 months ago to write a review) First of all It truly does not stick! Super easy to use, just turn the dial to your desired crispness and wait for it to heat up. I like mines of 3 for crispy, It will ding, like all Ninja products do, when it’s ready. Pour thick batter in and let it cook until it dings again to tell you it’s done. Open the side and your waffles slip right out. Cleaning is practically nothing, just wipe it clean if needed. It makes the perfect waffle every time: crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. This is my new favorite kitchen appliance. Ninja, you did it again! ♥️ 🤗 (I personally used Kodiak Cakes pancake mix and added a scoop of my favorite protein powder—works perfectly.) Highly recommended! You won’t regret it.

Perfect every time. No sticking, no mess. Barely any cleanup. The right size and thickness for a Belgian waffle. The heat level is adjustable and it beeps when the waffle is ready.

I love it! It makes great waffles. Easy to use and clean up. Have had waffles from this upright waffle maker several times since purchase and I absolutely have already recommended it. It's an awesome product. My wife and I were going to buy several for Christmas gifts but they were completely sold out! If you're able to get the peanut butter melt away spread from Gardner's Candy and spread it on your waffle you will fall in love!

We bought the stainless steel color/version of this waffle maker on Amazon. We previously had a horizontal type of waffle maker and lamented every time we made waffles because of the horrendous mess it would cause. This waffle maker has a lot of improvements and isn't as messy as the traditional horizontal, but there are some drawbacks. Pros: 1.a It's very easy to use and works very well 2.a The waffle maker does make incredibly good and crunchy waffles 2.b There are multiple heat settings from 1 to 5. We opted for the 3 setting, which make the exterior nicely browning the outside with the inside left light and fluffy 2.c The heat settings actually do work, meaning when the waffle iron beeps, it's really the doneness you want 3.d It is very slim and takes up little space 4.e Some waffle makers have a chemical smell at first, but didn't notice that with this one 4.b Highly recommend cooking your first waffle and throw it away just to get rid of any factory remnants 5.a Batter recommendations did fit into the machine, such that when using the 1 full cup, it did not expand to the extreme out the top. That is a nice feature 6. Construction is solid Cons - we have to knock off a star because these are pretty easy fixes 1.a Ninja, please stop putting extra sticky stickers on the devices. 1.b When we peeled off the "remove before using" sticker on the iron, it left an extremely sticky residue that took goo gone to remove. 1.c t took me 20 minutes to get the sticky factor off, and I really don't enjoy putting goo gone on devices used to cook food. 2.a The pour cup is absolute trash. 2.b When you pour the batter using the pour cup, make sure to use some other means to pipe the batter into the top. 2.c It will spill out the back side if you don't because the batter cup isn't really designed to pour. It's really just a measuring cup

I actually went for this one because of the brand. I'm pleased to say that it did not let me down. My favorite thing to cook with this is bacon and eggs. While open and ready to start, I place 3 half-bacon strips, and close quickly so the bacon will not fall. Once closed, I drop in 2 eggs. I could do 3 as 2 does not fill it up all the way. Wait for the beep. I put mine on 4. Great, easy, delicious. I also do carnivore waffles. I like that this does not leak out. When doing bacon, just a tad of bacon grease drips out. I originally wanted removable plates so they can be properly cleaned. I opted for this one because it does not normally leak out, and it is easy to clean. The only thing is that I have grabbed the top pour spout and gotten burned a few times. Not a bad burn, but an "ouch," "dang it," and "oh, man!" burn. I may try to air fry my bacon in my Ninja Crispi and break it into pieces, mix it with my egg, and pour that into the waffle iron. This is so nice to have in my kitchen. It's been a while since I've had a waffle iron, and I don't plan on being without one ever again. I highly recommend this, and just get creative with it.

I enjoy the occasional waffle, but have always been unimpressed with the results from home irons. It always seemed like I would end up with an under- or over-cooked waffle that was soggy regardless of doneness. I contribute that issue to the mix, and I've tried many, including homemade. However, I recently came across a mix, that in tandem with this waffle iron, makes the perfect waffles--repeatedly. If you prefer your waffles to have a golden (true golden, not burnt) and crispy exterior with a soft fluffy core, try the Augason Farms Pancake & Waffle Mix on a #3 setting. It's the perfect mix for this waffle maker. This iron is quick to get to operating temperature, quick to cook, and has an audible and visual alarm when your waffle is complete. With a little practice, you can pour batter without measuring by stopping the fill at just below the top grid row that is somewhat visible from the pour opening. This allows the batter to expand without excess and leaving you without a messy overfill situation. The non-stick plates make removal of your finished waffle a breeze, and with all my mix/batter trials, never have I had a waffle stick or difficult to remove. That being said, I haven't tried sticky add-ins such as chocolate chips, and I can see that being a potential issue if that's how you roll. Overall, this waffle maker cooks evenly--top to bottom, front to back--and makes preparation and cleanup a breeze. With the right mix used, it is exceptional.
