Amazon.com Review:
A waffle baker, grill, and griddle, this three-in-one appliance comes in handy during breakfast, lunch, dinner, and after school. Key to the unit's versatility are two 8-inch-square cooking plates--one set into the product's bottom and the other into the hinged top. On one side the plates form grids for making four waffles at once. Flipped over to show their flat sides they're capable of top and bottom grilling a sandwich or steak. To create griddle space, the top opens up flat, forming two 8-inch-square cooking surfaces for all foods that love a griddle--such as pancakes, hash browns, and eggs. Channels send grease to spouts in the griddles' corners, where it drains away. Nonstick to release food easily and wipe clean, the cooking plates also can be removed for scrubbing. A heat control offers high, low, and medium temperatures. With its chrome housing and stay-cool black synthetic handles, this 900-watt appliance looks great on the counter. Afterward, the cord wraps around the hinge, plus you can stand the unit upright for compact storage. It measures 11-1/4 inches wide, 5 inches high, and 11-3/4 inches deep and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Content: I'm planning to purchase two of these irons. One for us and one for my son who also remembers the one handed down from my parents that looks just like this one. I think ours was a "GE" and maybe they sold the rights to B&D. The reviews mention flimsy -- what isn't today?
Anyway, the customer image of the cooked waffle shows a shortcoming that may be difficult to overcome. If you look at the brownness of the cooked waffle you will notice a ring right around the waffle that is darker. That indicates the heat in that area was higher than in the rest of the plate.
My suggestion would be to preheat the iron longer and with the lid closed. This will allow the entire metal plate to become more uniform and hopefully produce a more even color and "doneness" to the product. Since a "next" waffle will be started after the instant one has cooked long enough to drive off the moisture it should also have allowed the plates to get back to a fairly uniform temperature but a short empty reheat might help.

Content: This grill and waffle baker replaces one we have had for several years that was never satisfactory. We returned one like it believing the thermostat was broken and received an identical replacement with the same problem. (This was dealing with another department store.) After several years without waffles, my husband began to crave them again, we so ordered the Black and Decker. It heats up in about 7 minutes and each batch of pancakes is done beautifully in about 5 minutes after being placed on the hot grids.
We really enjoy using it.
Summary: We love this waffle iron

Content: I have one of these. It's from 30 years ago. My dad would make waffles in it. When he passed, I insisted on keeping it.
This makes the small-hole waffles which are great for butter.
The orange light on front tells when it's at temperature. This doubles as a "done cooking" light.
There's a knob on the front for baking temperature. Hotter makes it more crispy outside and gooey inside. Cooler makes it dry out more but take longer to cook.
The plates flip to allow you to make a grilled cheese sandwich, or pannini type goodies very quickly, without the stripes.
The finish is stainless steel. The unit overall is durable, easy to use, and easy to clean.
The only minus is, since it's metal on the outside, it gets hot. If you're clumbsy, or your kids like to reach up, then you might want one that's mostly plastic on the outside.
Summary: yayayayaya!

Content: Black and Decker used to be good. Their products were well designed and quality built. This product supports "not any more". The product is cheap and flimsey. I didn't even bother to plug it in. I contacted Amazon who graciously took the item back. Forunately B & D has not messed with DeWalt, Porter Cable and Delta too much eventhough my Delta hybrid saw did have some problems upon delivery.
I had to give the product a star (system requirement) eventhough it doesn't deserve one.
Summary: China Junk

Content: Works well but I find that the batter is constantly sticking to the "nonstick" surface. Even reoiling has not helped, so my next step is to change recipes and see if that helps.
