For the past 3 months we've been enjoying our new Waring Pro WMK 300
Belgian Waffle Maker. After ladling the batter, closing the lid and
inverting the iron, it beeps when the waffles are ready. Cooking time
takes approximately 3 minutes per waffle. At last, a waffle breakfast
that doesn't take all morning! I've tried both buttermilk recipes as
well as yeast recipes and have been extremely pleased with the results.

It takes up a good amount of storage space and definitely costs more
than other waffle makers but it makes terrific waffles, and very fast.

I purchased mine at Bed, Bath & Beyond using one of they 20% off
coupons. I've also seen a similar unit at Costco for about $30 less.
The one noticeable difference is that the Costco unit has a blue "on"
light. Mine has a green one. Not sure what the other differences in
function, quality might be.

My research included reviews of various waffle makers on Amazon.

Hope this helps.
