Makes a solid batch of thick Belgian waffles in one cook, but expect to judge doneness by time since there's no finished-cooking indicator, and cleaning the fixed plates takes some effort.

Overview

- 1400 watt heating element
- 4 extra-large nonstick square plates

Who it's for
Works well for a household or a couple wanting a full batch of waffles at once rather than cooking one at a time. Less suited to anyone who wants a done alert or plates that lift out for washing.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers generally like being able to cook a full batch of thick waffles at once rather than one at a time, and several say the pattern comes out deep and evenly cooked. Recurring complaints include the top of the waffle cooking softer than the bottom, plates that don't come out for washing so crevices are harder to clean, and no indicator for when the waffle itself is actually done rather than just the plates being hot. One reviewer's handle cracked from steam pressure, and one buyer said the product did not work as advertised without giving further detail.

Questions about the Bella 17264
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Does the Bella 17264 tell you when the waffles are done, not just preheated?
No, the indicator light only signals that the plates have reached temperature; reviewers say you learn the right cook time through a bit of trial and error.
Can the plates be removed for cleaning?
No, several reviewers mention the plates are fixed in place, which makes reaching into the ridges for cleanup more work than a removable-plate model.
How many waffles does it make at once?
Four connected squares cook together in one pour, in under six minutes according to the listing.
