With adjustable browning control and nonstick, easy-clean plates, you can create restaurant-quality results at home with effortless cleanup. Review: Makes good waffles with minimal fuss - There are lots of Belgian style waffle makers available today. This one makes large sized waggles without taking up much counter space. Simply plug in the unit, wait for the green light to come on, then open and add the batter. Close and leave for approximately 6 minutes. The result is a nice thick waffle that’s meal sized. It heats up quickly, so minimal downtime between waffles. The adjustable knob allows you to control the brownness and doneness of the waffles. I just set it after the first waffle and leave it there. Easy to use, with no flipping required. The insides are easy to clean with a simple wipe with a damp towel. The stainless steel top needs little care, other than the occasional wipe down. A great waffle maker that’s barely bigger than the waffles it makes. The only drawback for some might be the short cord. Fine for countertops, it’s likely not long enough to have at the table setting. Review: Nice product. I'd recommend it. - Nice product. Cleans easily and waffles are fine. It seems it could be hotter and cook faster but could be best way to cook waffles and gets the job done, just takes a few minutes longer than exprected. Dont use spray oil though as mentioned in Manual as just burns. Just a wipe with bit of oil on paper towel works fine. Waffles come off griddle easily. No light comes on to indicate when waffle is done as some models may but easy to check doneness with lift of lid. I would recommend. ## Features - Create quick and easy waffles at home.

PFOA-free does not automatically mean PTFE-free. PTFE (the molecule polytetrafluoroethylene) is the generic name for Teflon™. There are other brands of PTFE, too.. depending on the company. Teflon is owned by DuPont. I emailed Hamilton Beach about this model and they replied, "The Waffle Maker 26081 does not contain PTFE or PFOA in the copper nonstick coating." **Q: Manufacturer: Please give detailed info about nonstick features (Teflon?). No details in listing or manual and customer service doesn’t respond.** A: I emailed Hamilton Beach to ask about this particular model and if it contains PTFE in the coating. PTFE (the molecule polytetrafluoroethylene) is the generic name for Teflon. Other companies us a PTFE coating under different brand names. They replied, "The Waffle Maker 26081 does not contain PTFE or PFOA in the copper nonstick coating." **Q: This question is for the manufacturer only. Can you provide proof, in writing, that this does not contain Teflon or any chemical coatings?** A: I emailed hamilton beach and they replied: "The Waffle Maker 26081 does not contain PTFE or PFOA in the copper nonstick coating." "...does not contain Teflon, and the grids is copper ceramic nonstick coating." **Q: Are these made with Teflon?** A: I emailed Hamilton Beach to ask about this particular model and if it contains PTFE in the coating. PTFE (the molecule polytetrafluoroethylene) is the generic name for Teflon. They replied, "The Waffle Maker 26081 does not contain PTFE or PFOA in the copper nonstick coating." ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Makes good waffles with minimal fuss *by C***R on May 10, 2026* There are lots of Belgian style waffle makers available today.

Cleans easily and waffles are fine. It seems it could be hotter and cook faster but could be best way to cook waffles and gets the job done, just takes a few minutes longer than exprected.

I would recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The personal waffle maker *by P***S on March 16, 2025* There’s nothing Belgium about this waffle maker, while it does make them slightly thicker than standard size these are still on the thinner side. WHAT YOU GET This is pretty basic, you get the appliance and a small fold-out instruction sheet that doesn’t really tell you much, but if you read below you should get all of the information you need. HOW WELL IS IT MADE For the price this is typical of this brand’s quality, a cut above the no-name brands. The control dial is large and turns with a smooth precision with tiny click stops to keep it at the temperature you choose. The dial does not have temperature markings but on devices like this they are usually not at all accurate anyway. I does have a smaller to larger illustration to show that the temperature increases as you turn it clockwise and it’s easy to remember where your favorite setting is. IS IT REALLY NON-STICK The ceramic surface is truly non-stick, the finished waffle needed no coaxing to be easily lifted out with a fork. Please read this part carefully, non-stick coatings are intended to have that characteristic all by themselves without the need of canned sprays. The most credible sources on the subject agree that using sprays does more harm than good and can actually destroy the cooking surfaces. And why add any more chemicals than necessary to our foods and our lives, I’ve stopped using them and I have yet to have any food stick, as long as I clean the surfaces thoroughly between uses. HOW BIG IS IT Despite any degree of buyer regret concerning the size of anything bought online, I have to accept that it is 100% my responsibility to read the measurements carefully before ordering. This device clearly states it makes 7” waffles, there can be no disputing that. I’ve actually never seen one that size, I’m used to waffle makers that create dinner plate size results, so I was slightly surprised when I opened this that it looked slightly mini compared to my expectations. No I am not disappointed, just a little surprised. But it turns out if I am have sides with it, like an egg on top and some bacon a 7” waffle is just about right. And as I mentioned, these are slightly thicker than regular waffles. HOW TO MAKE A PERFECT WAFFLE This is where I mention my other surprise that, yes, it is mentioned in the specs, but reality is a different thing. This thing is only 560 watts, that’s a lot less than most other models that can be up to 1100 watts. Do you need a thousand watts? I think not, that might cook faster but it is certainly going to be more prone to cranking out burnt waffles. This does take a little longer to heat up and a little longer to cook but I actually tried to burn a waffle and I couldn’t. I saw a suggestion in another comment about the proper setting and I’m guessing that Hamilton Beach changed their design since that was written because my unit does not have markings on the temperature control dial. So think of it this way, if you rotate the dial from the lowest to the highest position, picture where half way would be, now set the dial about a half inch further. If the dial were a clock, noon would be half way and your ideal setting would be somewhere between one and two PM. As far as timing, of course that depends on your batter but I found that I should check at about five minutes and go from there. One thing I love about this is it is so easy to open it and check and the non-stick surface makes that super easy. Now as far as how much batter to use, that also depends on what kind of waffles you’re making. Here’s a hint: I started with a half cup of dry powder and about two-thirds of a cup of water and it was almost but not quite enough. I use mix that doesn’t require eggs (when I’m writing this eggs are about seven bucks a dozen) and you might think my batter was kind of thin, yes it was, and the result was a perfect fluffy waffle. Try it yourself, you might find that you are using batter that’s too thick. YES NO MAYBE This brand has always been one of the better low cost ones and this is no exception, it has some weight to it and the materials look durable. The ceramic coating isn’t just a gimmick, it really works and is so much safer than most of the other coatings. The temperature control dial has a good feel to it and the hinge is better than average. Despite the low wattage it does an excellent job, in fact the wattage has benefits like lower power bills and being able to plug it into the same outlet as another small appliance without blowing a fuse. The ability to stand it up vertical in an ordinary cupboard is a huge plus, but be aware that there is no lock to snap it together, not that its needed, but if you try to lift it the wrong way the top may flop open and could break the hinge, so use two hands when removing it from the cabinet. I think this is about as good as such an appliance like this is going to get and it has earned a full five stars. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hamilton Beach Belgian Waffle Maker with PFAS-Free Non-Stick Ceramic-Coated Plates, Browning Control, Indicator Lights, Stainless Steel (26081) - Krusteaz Light & Crispy Belgian Waffle Mix - No Artificial Flavors, Colors, or Preservatives - 28 OZ (Pack of 2) (Packaging May Vary) - Mini Waffle Tongs by StarBlue – 8 Inches Silicone and Nylon Serving Tongs with Non-Slip Smooth Handles, Non-Scratch and Dishwasher Safe, Multipurpose Spatula Tongs for Belgian Waffle Serving --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/104437657-hamilton-beach-belgian-waffle-maker-with-pfas-free-non-stick](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/104437657-hamilton-beach-belgian-waffle-maker-with-pfas-free-non-stick) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-10*
