Product Description
With a new modern design and a unique "floating" top plate, the Chef'sChoice WafflePro is one of the more advanced waffle makers on the market. In as little as 90 seconds, your waffles (five heart-shapes) will be ready for serving. The unique Quad baking system lets you select the ideal flavor, texture and color. With a simple flip of the texture select switch, you can choose either fast bake for crisper waffles with a soft, oven-fresh interior, or deep bake for a more uniform texture. This professional, heavy-duty waffle iron offers a "waffle ready" beeper, "baking" and "ready" lights, instant temperature recovery for continuous baking, a nonstick deep channel griddle and an easy-clean overflow channel. The "floating" lid guarantees uniform waffle thickness and baking and ensures incredibly easy cleanup every time. With a built-in cord storage compartment, the waffle maker can be efficiently stored in a space-saving, upright position.

 Finally.... October 5, 2008

a waffle iron I can work with. Being Norwegian I wanted the heart shaped waffles :-) Love the ease of use, even my husband can use it - all you need is a good batter - the iron does the rest, if you want crispy or soft.
Great Waffle Iron March 19, 2008

Coming from the country of Norway our family have been raised on waffles. Since arriving in the US we have been through several and having worn out the last one, we went on the internet to check out the ratings for a new one.
We have had our Chef's Choice M840 WafflePro iron for 6 wks now, and love it! At first we had problems with spillage - as this iron takes less batter than our previous one. We have adjusted and find that we get perfectly made waffles every time. We had planned to buy two (as we often have guests over and need to be able to keep up with the demand), but wanted to try one out before we comited to the other. We have scrapped that idea - as this iron's turn-around is so efficient that we have no problem satisfying the demand. The iron is easy to clean and has logical controls and alerts.Chef's Choice M840 WafflePro - Five of Hearts

I use this waffler when I want something with a traditional American sized grid pattern. Yes, the indents are shaped different, but the ratio of batter to air is about the same as an old fashioned American pre-belgian waffle. At 1100 watts this unit is more powerful than a lot of current units in the price class. I have an old Toastmaster that has 1200 watts (it's predecessor was 1400) and a Villaware round classic waffler that has 1000, both of which will crisp a waffle, as will this one, but I also have a number of lower wattage modern units that can generally only produce softer and doughier waffles unless the fat and/or sugar content in the batter is high. This unit will produce a crisp exterior and soft interior, or a uniform crunchier version, as advertised. I also have the M850, a larger 1750 watt square belgian unit with an LED countdown timer. That unit is my favorite, and worth the extra money to me for the extra texture capability the higher wattage provides, but I think for most casual wafflers this unit would be fine. The digital LED timer of the M850 is nice, but not worth the extra money alone. Only go for the more expensive M850 unit if you need the higher wattage. Of course, this model is the heart shaped waffle version, which is an alternative to the large belgian grid pattern. There is no M850 version of the hearts at this time. So, if you want to stay away from the large grid patterned belgian waffles, this unit is the best from Chef's Choice at this time. I haven't tried the M840B yet so I'm not sure how it compares to this unit. It appears to be the same waffler with a different grid pattern, so I presume it offers similar performance.
Overall this unit does a nice job and is fast. No problems so far. I just wish they made a larger and higher wattage model as they do with the belgian style.

I bought this waffle maker on the basis of the other reviews. The waffles turned out mushy no matter what setting I put them on or how little batter I put in. It only makes one waffle at a time. If you happen to put too much batter in it runs over into the trough, but the trough is slanted down so it still goes all over your counter or stove- wherever you have it. The batter got into all kinds of little crevices in the control part and I can't clean it very easily. Also the top of the iron is stainless steel and it discolored on the very first use. I have gone back to my old one- at least it made crispier waffles and also makes four at a time.
Best waffle maker ever! Six stars January 24, 2008

We have a big family and wanted a waffle maker. We wanted a Big Big waffle maker. Mom does not want to make any child wait for their waffles. Unfortunately, the seemingly biggest waffle makers had review that said they cooked un-evenly (because of their square shape) and were hard to clean if they spilled.
We settled for this medium large waffle iron and were very happy. It cooks large waffles so fast, we can cook waffles faster than three children can eat them and actually have left-overs to freeze. Two waffles are enough even for the most ravenous child. The cooking is very even and it is really nice to have both the controls for darkness and for texture. Waffles do cook a little more slowly if the control is set to even texture, but we prefer the crunchy outside texture setting better anyway.
The iron is easy to use, cleans up well, directs spills away from the controls, and heats up quickly. Seems sturdy, but let us use it a year or two to see how it wears with time.
The waffles freeze and recook well, though we suggest using wax paper between them in large stacks. No more Eggos.
