All-Clad’s Waffle Maker Aced All of Our Tests, and It’s 30% Off Right Now

Waffles are one of the world’s most beloved breakfast foods for a reason. Their toasty outsides and soft, fluffy insides make them oh-so satisfying to crunch into, while their divots conveniently store syrup without getting soggy (pancakes could never). And with the right waffle maker, they’re also easy to make. When we tested 22 models across a number of popular brands, All-Clad’s four-slice Belgian waffle iron came out as the “best splurge” pick—but now that it’s a whopping 30% off, you don’t have to break the bank to snag one of your own.

All-Clad 4-Slice Belgian Waffle Maker

Why It Won Our Review

All-Clad’s was the priciest waffle iron we tested, but it also had the performance to back it up. The plates heated up faster, stayed hot longer and generally ran hotter than other top contenders—resulting in waffles with beautifully browned and crispy exteriors with spongy, tender interiors. It also made the waffles with the deepest divots, so they could hold plenty of syrup without overflowing.

The waffle maker comes with six browning levels which you can adjust to your preference and whips up batches in only four minutes. During testing, we found that the appliance worked well for various types of batters, from yeasted to buttermilk, producing mouthwatering textures every time. We also love that it can make four 4.5 by 1 inch waffles at a time, which is especially helpful if you love hosting brunch or live in a full house and need to serve a crowd. 

At 15.6 by 10.8 by 5.9 inches, All-Clad’s four-slice waffle maker is small enough to fit on nearly any kitchen counter. It’s easy to store, easy to use, and easy to clean between uses. The square plates are removable and dishwasher-safe, allowing you to make quick and easy work of weekend waffles. Snag your waffle maker before this rare 30% off discount disappears.
