Overview
Waring's WW185X churns out up to 25 Belgian waffles an hour on a rotating plate, with ceramic-coated, user-serviceable nonstick plates carrying NSF and cETLus certification for commercial kitchens.
Waring built the WW185X for higher-volume use than a home waffle iron, with 1200W of power and a rotary mechanism that flips the plate for even browning on both sides. The plates are PFAS free and user-serviceable, so a scratched plate can be replaced rather than requiring a whole new unit. A reviewer who has owned an older, smaller Waring commercial model for about 20 years says this version heats up faster and is built more heavily.
- 1200W, 25 waffles per hour
- Digital touchpad timer with auto-start
- Triple-coated, user-serviceable nonstick plates
- NSF and cETLus certified
Who it's for
A small food service operation, catering setup, or a household that regularly hosts large breakfasts and wants commercial-grade output will get the most from this. Works well for anyone wanting NSF-certified equipment for a shared or semi-commercial kitchen. Less suited to occasional home use given the higher price point compared with a standard consumer waffle iron.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers consistently praised the consistency of the waffles and the automatic timer with its done-beep. One owner who has run an older Waring commercial model for around 20 years found this version heats up faster and feels more robust, though noted the body is painted rather than stainless and raised the digital display as a possible future failure point.
