Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of T-Fal SM601003A Avante Nonstick Sandwich/Waffle Maker
Customer Review: Wonderful Waffle Maker
Summary: 5 Stars
Purchased: May 4, 2006
It works really well. It is sturdy. The heating elements are thick and also seem like they will last.
The interchangeable plates are connected by two "lips" towards the hinge and two push-button retractable retaining clips in the front of the unit, sort of like what you would see on some built-on luggage locks.
It is easy to clean, even the stainless top. The plates do pop off easily and clean well in the dishwasher.
UPDATE: (Jan 2007) It is still going strong and the non-stick plates are still doing a good job. One problem with the unit is trying to oil/butter the upper plate because the butter or oil tends to drip inside the unit. The next time it heats up, it leaves a bit of a residue on the counter. As someone suggested, a non-stick spray may work better, but I prefer not to use propellants.
UPDATE: (Feb 2009) I'm amazed this thing still works so well. The non-stick surface is still intact, no peeling. It still makes great waffles. I couldn't be more pleased.
UPDATE: (August 2010) Still makes wonderful waffles. I really received a good return on my investment. The non-stick plates are still holding up well. Love this thing.
