Krups FDD912 Expert Waffle Maker with Rotary System
 | Average Customer Rating: Recommend Krups calls it their Expert waffle maker, a handsome appliance that looks unlike any other waffle maker you've ever seen before. The elongated unit makes two large waffles that are a full 1.25-in. deep. An adjustable thermostat can be raised to a higher setting for waffles that are crunchy and crispy; turn the thermostat down and you can use it to re-heat already made waffles without over-browning the second… Product details and pricing info |

- High Quality Waffle Maker
- I got this for my husband for Christmas. It is well made and works very well. The waffles don't stick at all and we like the temperature adjustment. We would have given it 5 stars if there were a timer or light to let you know when the waffle is done. You have to use an external timer with this one.

- Could not have been more disappointed
- I had very high expectations for this Belgian waffle maker. After 10 months of ownership I have completely given up. The overall design appears well thought out, but functionally the unit is a major disappointment. I followed the directions specifically, then tryed some improvisation to make a waffle come out properly.
To begin with the temperature control knob is a bit sticky and does not move fluidly, I have doubts that the knob switch itself even works as there appears to be only two functions - off and scorched earth. (note I have had bad experiences with Krups switches previously (coffee maker and toaster oven - though I must admit the coffee makers (units 1, 2, and now unit 3) make fine coffee, and we use the toaster oven every single day)) I tried packaged Belgian waffle mix and also a number of scratch recipes, all failed to work in this waffle maker - again I believe it is the switch.
Next, the waffle plates do fit nicely in the unit and have a nice secure feel. My issue with the plates is they are about as nonstick as duct tape. I've trayed spray-on oils, coating with cooking oils, even soaking in cooking oils. Nothing works and you end up having to clean by soaking and scrubbing with a non-abrasive sponge. So where's the advantage over non-removable plates other than you don't soak the whole waffle maker ?
My last ditch effort was a two fold approach, borrow a friend's unit while loaning him this unit - essentially a swap for a day - to see if there some mistake I was unknowingly making. My preference is not to issue criticism of a product, rather to try to figure how to make it work. I had no issues making waffles with my friend's budget waffle maker, and my friend could not make a waffle with this unit either and I consider him a very fine cook. As a Krups fanatic, he also is majorly disappointed. Unfortunately we had to swap back and I now have a $99 door stop. Buyer beware. - 2008-12-21, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- This is the one you're looking for!
- I researched waffle makers online before choosing this one. The plates and drip pan are machine washable so it's easy to clean. The rotary system insures that the waffles turn out nice and crisp on both sides. The waffles are wonderful and breakfasts with waffles have become a Sunday morning ritual. I would highly recommend purchasing The Krups Rotary waffle maker.

- GREAT WAFFLE MAKER
- I did some research on waffle makers and this model Krups received an abundance of great reviews. I now know why! Easy to use and so easy to clean. I like my waffles crispy, almost to the burnt side and the Krups makes waffles just the away I like them. I would recommend the Krups to everyone and I would confidently give it as a gift.

- Krups FDD912 Expert Waffle Maker with Rotary System
After doing a lot of research, I bought this product. No regrets. After adjusting the Aunt Jemima batter by adding more liquid, the waffles were fantastic. I used soy milk too. Clean up is very easy. Drawback, it does not have a timer. I bought a small timer and store it with the waffle maker. - 2008-11-17, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
