On the fence between the DASH DMW001AQ Mini and the DASH No-Drip Belgian waffle maker? Here’s our side-by-side comparison.
DASH Mini
Tested Using Methodology v1.1DASH No-Drip
Tested Using Methodology v1.1Overall Verdict
The DASH DMW001AQ Mini, a small and compact machine, is hugely popular among travelers. It can easily fit inside a backpack and provide freshly-baked waffles on the go. At home, it can supply you with quick snacks to keep you energized throughout the day.
On the other hand, the DASH No-Drip Belgian is made for bulk cooking. Its large set of waffle plates can produce four 4-inch square waffles simultaneously. It is an excellent purchase for large families and those who need to cook large batches of waffles regularly.
The cooking performances of both models are quite similar, with the DASH No-Drip Belgian having a slight edge over the smaller Mini.
