More control over your weekend waffles
The Breville BWM640XL makes four waffles per batch and gives you control over browning. It is worth a look if waffles are a regular part of your breakfast routine and you want more settings than a basic waffle iron.
The useful features, at a glance
- Four waffles per batch: useful when you are feeding several people.
- 12 browning settings: adjust the finish from lighter to darker.
- LCD countdown: see where you are in the cooking cycle.
- A Bit More button: extend cooking without restarting the cycle.
- Overflow moat: catches excess batter around the plates.
Is it a good fit for your kitchen?
Consider it if you make waffles often, cook for several people, and will use the extra controls. Think about where it will live between breakfasts, too: an appliance is more useful when getting it out is easy.
Compare a simpler option if you only make waffles occasionally or usually cook for one. Decide whether the extra capacity and controls justify the current price for your routine.
Care matters more than a durability promise
The stainless steel housing surrounds nonstick cooking plates. Breville advises avoiding metal utensils and abrasive cleaners, wiping the plates and moat after use, and never immersing the appliance. Follow the full manual for safe operation and cleaning.
A sturdy exterior does not establish how long the coating, controls, or heating system will last. This guide does not claim long-term testing or a guaranteed lifespan.
