no more eggos
By A Customer
i have this waffle iron and love it. i'd always been a bit intimidated by the thought of making my own waffles, but this waffle iron is extremely easy to use and the tone that sounds when the waffles are done is great. perfect waffles every time. and the nonstick surfaces make it really easy to clean.

Far from perfect...
By ciniminis
I already had an electric waffle iron made by Salton that was turning out great looking and delicious tasting *round* waffles. But because of the rave review I read here (plus it was nearing Valentine's day), I gave in and bought this Villaware heart-shaped waffle iron.
And sure it worked - but not as good as I expected for this price. As it has five different temperature settings (supposedly gives you control over how soft/crisp you want it), I tried out three: At "2" the batter was not yet set in the middle when the "waffle tone" sounded. At "4" it was too browned even for my husband's taste. I can only imagine how runny "1" would be and how burnt "5" would be - seriously, why do they give you five settings when only one of them work? At "3" the waffle tasted close to the way I like it, but even then, like all the other settings I tried on this, the color was uneven throughout the surface of the waffle. There were patches that were very pale and spots that were a medium brown.
The other bummer is this: It is impossible to make perfect heart shapes. I tried different consistencies in the batter and really attempted to fill in the scalloped edge, but as it cooks, the batter rises unevenly and when you divide the finished waffle into five little hearts, they're always a little crooked.
So - while this one certainly works and may thrill people who have no prior waffle making experience or are simply less demanding, its relatively high price only brings extra features (heart shape, temp control, "waffle tone" alarm...) that are unnecessary and don't work well. I find my cheaper Salton model... still works much better.
My humble advice: Go for a simpler model without all these bells and whistles, all you need to look for is a good quality non-stick surface. The doness can be easily controlled by how long you cook the waffle (the amount od steam is a good indication). I will stay loyal to my old waffle iron from now on.

OK, but uneven cooking
By R. Ross
We bought this waffler as a replacement for an antique one passed down to me by my parents. Literally; it had cloth insulation over the cord and wires inside. Anyway, it started shocking us, so we looked here, and after looking all the reviews, we decided on the Villaware. The round waffler everyone seemed happy with, and we figured the only difference between it and the heart-shaped one was the plates. Unfortunately, it doesn't cook the waffle evenly, which is an irritation. It's not horrible, but I'd prefer perfection. I'm just that way. Maybe I'll fix our old one...
Overall, it's a good waffler, really makes noise when it's ready/done (I've generally burned the last waffle I made to a crisp, because I'm eating and forget. Not with this one.), but it could be better. I'd recommend trying the simple round one, since everyone liked it pretty well, and leave the heart one alone.
