Remanufactured Waring Pro WMK300 Belgian Waffle Maker, Brushed Stainless



Disappointing.
I've wanted one of these for years, and could never justify $80 for a waffle maker when I don't make waffles every weekend. This seemed like the perfect buy. It's half the price, but it still has the same manufacturers warranty according to the Amazon site... and I've used remanufactured products before with great success.

Alas, it was not meant to be. The box arrived, and all appeared in decent condition. There was some scoring and scratching on some of the components, and it looked as though it had seen some use. I was a little confused as it's supposed to be remanufactured, not simply 'used and cleaned.' Another disappointment came with the warranty. The warranty is NOT the 1-Year that Amazon is advertising, but a 90-day remanufactured warranty from Waring. Seemed like the deal was getting worse all the time.

The final kicker came when, after plugging in the item, I discovered that one of its important features, the cooking timer, is not functioning. My...

WOW!!!
I've wanted one for a long time, but, like others hesitated at the $80 pricetag. I was so excited to find this for half price and it was worth the wait. The box, interior packaging, literature and unit were in brand new condition...in fact I had to look through the paperwork to find any indication of the unit being remanufactured. Solid construction and smooth movement and more importantly DELICIOUS WAFFLES. The very first one (which I made as soon as I got it out of the box) came out perfect on the #4 setting; so did the last one. Perfectly golden brown, perfectly consistent, flawless non-stick. Timer indicator worked just fine. It beeps when it is ready for the first waffle and it beeps when the cylce is complete.

I'd love to do pros and cons, but as of yet, I have no cons!

Don't hesitate if these are in stock...they tend to go quick. Thanks Amazon!

If you want waffles this is the way to go
Never was a big waffle person but I like the throw big brunches so I thought I would incorporate a waffle station. Very easy to use, hardly any cleanup (just butter the grids a little before each waffle), and makes them quick, probably every 4 min or so. I am definitly enjoying this unit, looks great too came in perfect condition. The only thing is once and a while the timer does not go off. Seems to be every third waffle so I keep an eye out for that. (hence the 4 stars) But this is so worth the $40.
