Overall Verdict
If you don’t know what to pick between the Cuisinart WAF-F20P1 Double waffle maker and the DASH No-Drip Belgian, ask yourself this question: Is it quality that you’re looking for or quantity?
If your answer is “Quality,” then there’s a good chance that the Cuisinart WAF-F20P1 is the one for you. It is considered a high-end waffle maker, so its performance is expectedly very good. In fact, it is the highest-performing model in our database. In our tests, our in-house chef rated all the waffles it made highly.
As for the DASH No-Drip Belgian waffle maker, its performance is only mediocre, and its large waffle plates can make four square waffles, each measuring 4 inches. If you have to make a lot of waffles regularly (large family breakfasts, for example,) then it’s going to be a far better choice than the WAF-F20P1.
Of course, be warned that the DASH No-Drip Belgian waffle maker won’t have as many features as the WAF-F20P1. That’s to be expected, considering the DASH No-Drip is far more modestly-priced than the WAF-F20P1.
