Overall Verdict
Each waffle maker offers distinct benefits, making it easier to choose between them.
The selling points of the DASH DMW001AQ Mini are its small, compact design and the bite-sized, 4-inch waffles it makes. Its size makes it the perfect purchase for travelers, campers, and hikers. The DASH Mini can fit inside a backpack or luggage and help you cook fresh waffles on the go.
And at home, the small size of the waffles shines. You can cook several of these 4-inch waffles and turn them into a full breakfast platter. Alternatively, you can use the small waffles as quick snacks throughout the day.
Meanwhile, the Euro Cuisine WM520 can help if you want to bring a special touch to your morning breakfast. Instead of a traditional, blocky Belgian-style or classic-style pattern, the Euro Cuisine WM520 features a heart-shaped pattern imprinted on its plates (also called “Norwegian-style”).
The beautiful waffles it makes are not just fabulous for festive times, like Christmas and Thanksgiving, they also work for daily breakfasts and meals!
