Presto Flipside
Tested Using Methodology v1.1Holstein Housewares
Tested Using Methodology v1.1Overall Verdict
The full-size Presto Flipside Belgian waffle maker is the one to pick if you’re looking for a waffle maker that can make some delicious breakfast waffles for you at home. In addition to baking large 7-inch waffles, the Presto Flipside also has great features like a flippable design and a built-in timer.
Meanwhile, with the Holstein Housewares’ compact and lightweight design, you will be able to bake fresh waffles on the go. It’s why mini waffle makers like the Holstein are so popular among travelers!
The Holstein doesn’t have any notable features. But it’s expected from such a small and affordable waffle maker.
Performance-wise, both waffle makers did a decent job in our tests. The waffles they produced weren’t restaurant-quality, but they’re good enough for breakfasts and light meals.
