How We Chose the Best Waffle Makers

We researched the top-reviewed brands on the market and tested several models firsthand, as well as sought tried-and-true editor recommendations, to come up with our top picks. In doing so, we focused on a few key considerations:

  • Waffle type: Are you into thin, crisper waffles, or extra-thick, pillowy ones? We've got options for both (and everything in between, including fun character shapes).
  • Machine size: We wanted to include compact options for people with limited space and ones that allow you to create restaurant-worthy, dinner-plate-sized creations.
  • Usage: The number of people you’re feeding breakfast to will also determine which waffle maker you should buy. Solo eaters or anyone dining with one other person will find that a single waffle maker will do the trick. For families of three or more, though, a two- to four-square waffle maker will likely fit your needs better—unless you’re super patient (and don’t mind keeping your waffles warm in the oven as you finish up batch after batch).
  • Quality and durability: Do reviewers complain about messes and leaks? Pieces breaking after a few uses? We focused on pieces that could last for the long haul.
