The Bella 13991 is a full-size Belgian waffle maker, while the Crownful is a mini-size model.
A full-size waffle maker like the Bella 13991 will be a better fit for you if you want filling waffles for breakfast on the regular. The Bella 13991 may not be good enough to replicate the deliciousness of restaurant-made waffles, but it came pretty close in our performance tests!
On the other hand, the Crownful 4-inch Mini is a better fit for people who just want waffles as snacks. The smaller size of the waffle maker can be useful if you have a small kitchen or regularly travel, too. It’s small enough to fit in the palm of your hand or your backpack.
The Cronwful (and other mini waffle makers like it) is popular among travelers, campers, and RV-ers.
