Overview
The Krups 601966-GQ502YA bakes 4 square Belgian waffles at once from a 1200-watt element, with 5 browning levels, removable nonstick plates, and an audible ready beep. Built for family breakfasts or entertaining rather than single servings.
Several reviewers switched from single-waffle irons specifically because a group breakfast meant waiting through repeated 7-minute cycles, and this model's 4-at-once capacity solves that directly. One owner upgrading from a plastic-bodied budget iron found the deeper pockets produced thicker, fluffier waffles than their old machine. Cook time runs a bit longer than a basic iron according to at least one reviewer, described as a tradeoff for more even baking rather than a flaw.
- 1200-watt heating element
- 5 adjustable browning levels
- Steam-release system
- Cord wrap and handle lock for storage
Who it's for
Fits households or hosts who regularly make waffles for more than one or two people and want removable, dishwasher-safe plates. Less useful for anyone making a single waffle at a time, where a compact single-waffle iron would be simpler.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who upgraded from older or plastic-bodied waffle irons report thicker, fluffier results with deep pockets that hold more topping, and repeatedly praise how easily the plates come off for cleaning. One owner noted it takes longer to cook than a prior iron, and another had uneven top and bottom browning on an older unit before switching to this one for its removable plates.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.

Performance notes
The 1200-watt element bakes 4 square waffles simultaneously with a steam-release system meant to crisp the exterior while keeping the interior fluffy, and red and green indicator lights plus an audible beep signal power and readiness. Five browning levels adjust from light to dark, and the plates detach for dishwasher or hand cleaning.
