Black+Decker WMD200B Double vs Holstein Housewares HH-09125016B Side-by-Side Comparison
Between the full-size Black+Decker WMD200B Double and the compact, palm-sized Holstein Housewares HH-09125016B, which one to pick? Here’s our consensus.
Black and Decker Double
Tested Using Methodology v1.1Holstein Housewares
Tested Using Methodology v1.1Overall Verdict
The Black+Decker WMD200B Double waffle maker can cook two waffles at once, thanks to a double-sided baking chamber. As such, this model is very popular among people who have to bake large batches of waffles regularly (like those with big families.)
The overall build quality of the WMD200B is great, considering how it’s a mid-tier offering in Black+Decker’s portfolio. And while performance can be improved, it got a passing score on our cooking tests.
The Holstein Housewares HH-091215016B, on the other hand, is a mini waffle maker. Its 4-inch waffles can make for great mid-day snacks. The small size of the Holstein also explains its popularity in the traveling circle. You can fit it neatly in your backpack and bring it along as you globetrot. Plug it into an outlet, pour in a pre-mixed batter, and you’ll get fresh waffles on the go.
Considering how these two models target two totally different audiences, we think it should be a pretty easy pick!
