Tested Using Methodology v1.1Overall Verdict
There are many similarities between the Presto Flipside Belgian and the Cuisinart WAF-F20P1 Double waffle maker.
They are both Belgian-style models, so their plates have deep patterning. The two models also come with rotatable baking chambers and bake 7-inch waffles.
But there’s one big difference between the two that may ultimately help you decide which one to get: the Presto Flipside is a single-sided waffle maker, while the Cuisinart WAF-F20P1 is double-sided. This means the Presto Flipside can only make one waffle at a time. Meanwhile, with two sets of waffle plates, the Cuisinart WAF-F20P1 can cook two at a time if you want.
The Presto will be sufficient for busy bachelors and people who don’t need to cook a lot of waffles regularly. But if you often need to cook large batches of waffles and want the latest in everything, it’s worth spending extra on the Cuisinart WAF-F20P1.
