    The Hamilton Beach Flip Belgian cooks a classic, Belgian-style waffle with ease, and we found ourselves reaching for this particular waffle maker again and again during testing. The key feature that sets this waffle maker apart is its removable plates. Finding a waffle maker that is easy to clean is no small task, and the Hamilton Beach doesn’t disappoint. \u201cAs a busy, working mom,<\/em>\u201d mentioned one of our testers, \u201cI used this one the majority of the time because I knew it would produce a delicious waffle AND be easy and quick to clean after.<\/em>\u201d The Hamilton Beach<\/strong> is made of solid, metal components that feel they will stand the test of time, despite the price point being well under $100. It has one of the fastest total cook times and has several browning settings so you can cook your waffle just how you like it. In addition, unlike some other models, it is easy to avoid hot components, which made us feel good about small hands helping with waffle flipping.<\/p>\n

    We wish that the Flip Belgian<\/strong> had an audible beep to let us know when it was done heating up. However, this was a small issue. One tester noted, \u201cI wish it had an alert so I could go do something else and know when it was ready without having to come back and check.<\/em>\u201d It is also worth noting that there are some negative reviews related to the durability of the non-stick coating on the plates. However, the user manual does state that washing the plates in a dishwasher on the sanitize setting can damage the non-stick coating. In our testing, we stuck to primarily hand washing the plates and had no problems with sticking, despite baking with blueberries, chocolate chips, and cheese. If you’re concerned about the removable plates losing their non-stick, the Bella Classic Rotating Belgian is a similar style waffle maker that performed well, although we do worry about its longevity due to less solid, plastic components. The Breville No-Mess is another high-performing, high-quality option if you prefer a thinner, denser waffle.<\/p>\n
