Breville BWM640XL 4-Slice Smart Waffle Maker - Create Delicious Crispy Waffles in Minutes!

C. Park: Yes it’s pricey but it’s so nice to be able to sit down and eat fresh hot waffles with the family instead of making one at a time and have hungry mouths waiting. (And complaining) I also love the lip that catches any excess and cooks it as well. No more fear of overflowing and making a mess! I hope this waffle maker lasts a REALLY long time!

M. Erlebacher: We wanted the two slice device, but got the four slice because it has a temperature control feature. We are glad with that decision. We also like that it has an alert when it’s done cooking. The cooking surface is not totally nonstick but it’s not too bad. As expected It takes up quite a bit of space on the counter.

Anon: I was reluctant to pull the trigger on this purchase since it's so much more expensive than other waffle makers, but I really needed to make 4 waffles at once so I tried it. No regrets three years later, it's still going strong after making waffles two or three times a month, and it feels solid enough to pass on to my kids in 20 years.

Chuck: You can select 5 different types,12 different darkness levels, has surround overflow tray but it was not needed. Excellent quality waffles, 1,2,3 or 4 waffles at a time. Color LCD and sound notification. Sound could be louder but outstanding waffles.

Rosa E: La wafflera es bonita y fácil de usar, los waffles quedan muy crujientes por fuera y suaves por dentro, hay que encontrar el tiempo ideal y el dorado adecuado para el tipo de masa utilizada, ya que puede quedar cruda por dentro aunque por fuera luzca dorada. El tiempo de cocción es un poco mas lento que en las waffleras giratorias, sin embargo, la calidad del electrodoméstico es excelente.

VidekVidek: Barely used and after 1 year and half the upper plate burnt. The manufacturer warranty is one year only so I had either to pay to repair it or throw it because repair cost was the half of its price…Great customer service though. After brief negotiations they agreed to send me a brand new unit (second pictured) for a half price….Be also aware that the units sold on Amazon don’t have serial numbers which may complicate your product registry and warranty.

dhellraisa: This replaced our old crappy waffle maker we’d barely ever use. Had paid a good price for it, but it was lacking power, basically steaming the waffles.

It was also a pain to clean.

We’ve bought this one a few years back and still love it. We use it frequently and turns out some of the best waffles we’ve ever had time and time again. As a bonus, it’s so easy to clan, you may not have to do anything more than wipe it between cooks. Just made a batch of 15 and it does not look like I’ve used it at all.

It’s on the pricey side for a specific usage tool. Let’s hope it keeps on performing like that for years to come.

N Vaillancourt: This is the 5th product from Breville I buy and I'm still very happy with the overall product. For the first time I was surprised that no purple booklet was provided with the product, only a small 1st step to operation leaflet with no recipe. So I went online to try to find a 'classic waffle recipe', the waffles were good but not what I really expected. So I went back online on the Breville website and after searching a bit, I found the purple booklet available for download in pdf format, it also includes 4 recipes. I don't know why this information was not available in the leaflet. So I tried the first classic recipe and it was simply amazing! So if you get this product, go to the official website and download the book.

Cleaning, so far no problem. I just wait a little and clean with a damp towel. I had no issue at all, fairly easy. Maybe when I add chocolate chips or blueberry it will be different, but for classic or Belgian style, no issues.
family is happy and so am I!

Skiman: This waffle maker is straight from the Jetsons!

Functionality - This thing is really good at one thing and thats making waffles. Well if you've ever spent any time on social media you've probably seen food videos of people making hash-browns or cinnamon rolls in their waffle iron. While I'm not saying that this wont work for that, I would personally go for something with shallower grooves, or a non-Belgain style maker. That being said if you purchased this thing to make waffles, which you probably did, it works wonderfully. I've made all types of waffles in this ranging from authentic Belgian style Liege yeasted waffles with pearl sugar to your run-of-the-mill Bisquick shake and pour in this and get perfect results every time. Actually it is beyond perfect, you get that crispy crunchy exterior like it was just out of the waffle maker on a fancy hotel buffet on the medium setting. The settings, and wow are there a lot of them. I'm sure this waffle maker has more electronics in it than Apollo 11 had to land on the Moon. You can customize your batter type, and your crispness setting with the very well built and easy to use knobs on the front of the machine. For me, the default...

Simon Cadieux: I have used my wafflemaker at least 10 times now.

So far, I've found that:
1) I can make perfect waffles everytime using the default preset. They all come out perfectly baked and all equal, no need to constantly lift the cover to take a look. Just trust the machine, it never failed on me.
2) Very easy to clean. The surface is non-stick. The spill collector is a very nice feature.
3) You can make 4 big waffles at a time (a little bigger waffles than what regular wafflemakers usually make, but very close in shape and size to what I can find at a local belgian restaurant) in about 5 minutes. I have a big family and it used to take forever to make enough waffles in my old cheap wafflemaker. Now in 30 minutes, I have enough waffles to satisfy 3 children and 2 adults in the morning, with leftovers for the next morning. Result = we make waffles way more often now.
4) It looks really cool and sturdy
5) The included measuring scoop seems to be exactly on spot in terms of waffle mix quantity that you need to pour in each spot.

Of course, it's not cheap but overall, I'm very satisfied with this item. I cannot imagine you can make a better wafflemaker for home...
