Overall Verdict
The Euro Cuisine WM520 differs from most waffle makers in that it’s neither a classic-style nor a Belgian-style waffle maker. Rather, it’s a Norwegian-style waffle maker and comes equipped with a set of waffle plates imprinted with a beautiful heart shape.
This makes the Euro Cuisine WM520 a great choice for cooking waffles during festive times like Christmas or Thanksgiving. And if you want to add some flair to your breakfasts or mealtimes, these special waffles will be just the ticket!
The KRUPS Belgian has a more traditional Belgian-style patterning. Its large set of waffle plates can cook four 4-inch square waffles at once. A waffle maker like the KRUPS can be a god-sent for large families or people who need to cook large batches of waffles regularly.
Unfortunately, we must recommend the Euro Cuisine WM520 between these two for one reason: the KRUPS exhibited very poor performance during our tests. It’s the only model in our database thus far that failed a cooking test.
Instead of the KRUPS Belgian, if you still want the ability to bulk-cook, we recommend the DASH No-Drip Belgian waffle maker as an alternative.
