How we picked these products

To find the best waffle makers, we consulted our friends at the Good Housekeeping Institute. Their team of on-staff experts—which includes all types: engineers! data analysts! registered dietitians!—rigorously put everyday products to the test (and then more and more tests) in their New York City-based labs to determine which ones you can trust. They tested a series of waffle makers on performance, ease of use, features, consistency (are all the waffles in a batch evenly cooked?!), and even the heat they emit while being used.
