Black+Decker WMD200B Double vs Euro Cuisine WM520 Side-by-Side Comparison
The Black+Decker WDM200B Double and the Euro Cuisine WM520 are in totally different classes, so which one to choose? Here’s our take.
Black and Decker Double
Tested Using Methodology v1.1Euro Cuisine
Tested Using Methodology v1.1Overall Verdict
The Black+Decker WMD200B Double is one of the cheaper double-sided waffle makers that you can buy on the market. As such, if you have a large family and need the multi-waffle cooking ability of a double-sided model, the WMD200B will be a good pick.
But if you want to add some visual interest to your breakfast, the Euro Cuisine WM520 with its unique heart-shaped waffle plates, will be a better choice. The heart-shaped pattern, also known as Norwegian-style waffle patterning, can instantly bring intrigue to your family’s breakfast. Heart-shaped waffles are also really popular during festivities like Christmas!
Both models perform well in our tests. The waffles they baked were tasty (just don’t expect them to be restaurant-grade), and their build quality — while they certainly weren’t the best — did the trick pretty well.
