The greatest difference between the two models is that the Chefman has a more traditional single-sided design, which only allows you to cook waffles one at a time. Meanwhile, with the Bella 13991’s double-sided design, you can prepare two at once.
If you live alone or don’t need to bake a lot of waffles regularly, the Chefman represents a better choice overall. But if you have a large family, you’ll get a lot of use out of the Bella 13991’s double-sided design.
The Bella 13991 is the winner by a clear margin in our performance tests. It was able to produce tasty waffles with superb coloration and texture. The Chefman was close, but its overall score wasn’t as high due to the splotchy coloration of its waffles.
Pricing isn’t an issue with these two models. Though the Bella 13991’s list price is slightly higher, if you can catch them both at the right time, you’ll find them on sale for the same amount.
