Overall Verdict
If your budget isn’t limited and you want to enjoy one (or two) full-size waffles every morning, we recommend the Cuisinart WAF-F20P1.
It is the best-performing model in our database so far and was able to serve up beautiful and delicious waffles in every cooking test. The WAF-F20P1 is also a double-sided waffle maker, so you can cook two waffles simultaneously.
This, combined with a premium design and various high-end features, makes the Cuisinart WAF-F20P1 a worthy investment if you have the budget for it.
Meanwhile, the Holstein Housewares HH-09125016B is a mini waffle maker. It possesses a small, compact form factor of about the same size as a softball. The waffle maker cooks bite-sized 4-inch waffles. Their quality was mediocre in our tests, but none of the waffles were unpalatable or inedible.
If you’re looking for a snack-making machine or a portable waffle maker (for traveling), the Holstein’s compact size and small waffles will do the trick.
