Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Krups FDD912 Expert Waffle Maker with Rotary System
Customer Review: Great Buy
Summary: 4 Stars
I am so happy with this waffle maker. It is so easy to use and the waffles come out crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. I still have not mastered the correct amount to put in to get the perfect waffle but even the off-shape ones are great. I do agree with several of the other reviews, a timer would be a great addition to this product.Customer Review: Great waffle maker
Summary: 5 Stars
This makes great tasting waffles, crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. They are perhaps not quite as good as the Waring model, and I think I prefer round waffles to square, but I love that you can remove the waffle plates and wash them in the dishwasher. It is a snap to clean, unlike the Waring model or any other model of waffle iron that I have used. Customer Review: Krups Waffle Maker - Recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the fourth waffle maker that I have owned over the years. One I gave away, one is part of a sandwich/waffle maker unit, and the other is a belgian waffle maker by Black & Decker that is on its last leg of the journey after many years of use and improper cleaning methods! After experiencing such positive results with the combo unit T-Fal SM601003 Avante Nonstick Sandwich/Waffle Maker which has removeable plates, I knew I wanted a waffle maker with this feature.
I usually make 10 - 12 waffles for my husband to take to work on the weekends which would be a long process with my other belgian waffle maker because after the fifth or sixth one, it seemed to steam more than bake so I would have to let it cool down and start over. Not so with this one. I cranked out 12 waffles with no trouble. Some of the waffles came out evenly browned on both sides while others were even on one side with a couple of lighter patches on the other. However, none of these were rejected by anyone! I ate the first one that came out. The waffle was crispy on the outside and pancake tender on the inside with deep pockets that held up to the syrup and butter. For that, it deserves and gets five stars!
The other advantage to this waffle maker is the adjustable temperature setting. I settled on 6, which produced the crispiest waffle, with a cook time of 4 minutes, 30 seconds. A timer would have been a nice addition to the waffle maker, but I just set the one on the microwave as I've always done so its no big deal.
Other nice features include the drip pan to accommodate over filling the plates, and the folding handle which is a plus when storing the unit. The removeable plates which were the selling point for me make clean up a breeze. Let the machine cool, pop out the plates and either hand wash or stick in the dishwasher.
The Krups waffle maker makes fairly large waffles and is not a small unit so if space is a concern, keep that in mind.
Customer Review: Finally!! Waffle maker works great and is so easy to clean!
Summary: 4 Stars
I had never owned a waffle maker until three years ago. My children love waffles and I used to buy the frozen kind (sorry!) Then I got on this health kick and stopped buying them because they had partially hydrogenated vegetable oil and were pretty unhealthy.
The other two waffle makers I owned were sooooo messy and hard to clean. The waffles were soggy and one of them just broke down on me. They were both in the $20 to $30 range. I did a lot of research and chose this one because the other highly rated one in the same price range had a lot of complaints about it breaking down after a year or so whereas this one's main complaint was that there was no timer.
I just received it 2 days ago and have already used it twice. My kids love the waffles! It is very easy to use and very easy to clean (believe me, I know!) I highly recommend this waffle maker. The only reason for 4 stars is that the plates a bit hard to get out at first until you figure out how to do it.
Customer Review: Just a Little Less than Perfect....

Despite all the negative reviews about this product, I decided to go ahead and order it. I have not been unhappy with my decision. The folding handle is a really great idea for storage and also for transporting the waffle iron . The only real downside to this product is that it does not heat evenly. I had read that comment in previous reviews, but decided it was not bad enough to keep me from purchasing it. I still feel that way. Most of my waffles come out unevenly cooked, but it doesn't keep them from tasting good. I use this waffle iron at my church to prepare waffles on Sunday morning for a non-profit coffee shop that I manage. Everyone loves the waffles it produces. It took me awhile to figure out how to get the plates out of the machine, but now I can't believe I ever had a problem.
All in all, I'm very satisfied and hope this machine continues to keep me happy by turning out excellent waffles.
