Overall Verdict
The difference between the DASH DMW001AQ Mini and the Cuisinart WAF-F20P1 Double waffle maker is in more than just their size. It’s in their intended uses, too.
For travelers who need something light and compact that can prepare breakfasts or snacks on the go, the DASH DMW001AQ Mini’s small form factor is perfect. Another group of users who will benefit from the DASH DMW001AQ’s small 4-inch waffle plates are those cooking breakfasts for children or wanting small, easy-to-prep snacks throughout the day.
The Cuisinart WAF-F20P1 Double waffle maker is better for making meals at home. Also, with its double-sided design, you can cook waffles in bulk. This model is especially great for large families or if you have to cook a lot of waffles regularly.
Outside of performance, the Cuisinart WAF-F20P1 easily won the competition in terms of build quality with its solid stainless steel construction. The DASH DMW001AQ, a budget waffle maker, is built from cheap-looking plastic and has a flimsy coat of paint.
