DASH DMW001AQ Mini vs CROWNFUL 4-inch Mini Side-by-Side Comparison
Can’t decide on what to buy between the DASH DMW001AQ Mini and the Crownful 4-inch Mini waffle maker? Here’s our comparison.
DASH Mini
Tested Using Methodology v1.1CROWNFUL Mini
Tested Using Methodology v1.1Overall Verdict
Before we got the opportunity to test the Crownful 4-inch Mini waffle maker in the lab, the DASH DMW001AQ Mini was the best-performing mini-size model. However, with the test result showing the Crownful 4-inch Mini to offer tastier waffles overall compared to the DASH Mini, the latter was promptly replaced.
The Crownful 4-inch Mini is currently the top mini waffle maker that we have ever tested (as of October 2022).
So, if you’re deliberating between these two, we highly recommend picking up the Crownful over the DASH Mini. There’s not much of a price difference between the two.
