Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker G48TD Grill and Waffle Baker
Customer Review: Very easy to clean
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm really happy with this unit. I've wanted a waffle maker for a while, but it was hard to justify the expense and kitchen real estate for such a limited-used appliance. I jumped on this one as soon as I saw it, since it really is 3-in-1. It works great as a waffle iron; the waffles are thin and cook just right. I actually use it most for sandwiches, as it makes any regular sandwich suddenly much tastier in just a few minutes. It also works well as a griddle, and I have made pancakes and eggs on it.
I can't say enough about how great the removable plates are for cleaning. They are remarkably nonstick in the first place, but taking them off and cleaning them is incredibly easy. It's a snap to switch between the waffle side and the grill/griddle side, too.
In short, I find myself leaving this out on my counter and using it all the time, due to the multi-functionality and the ease of cleaning. I highly recommend it.

My mother had a waffle maker like this one, passed down from her mother. Shortly after I became an adult, the heating element of hers finally died and I was left waffle-less for several years. Then I found this. I was happy.
I don't know how, but the quality has changed dramatically over the years, despite looking essentially the same. My mother's/grandmother's waffles NEVER stuck to the plates--even a few times when they were left in until completely charred, they peeled right out without any trouble. THIS product, however, has the ability to permanently glue any substance into its tiny crevices, regardless of how well cooked. Even better is the fact that BOTH plates have equal sticking power, making it such that every time you open the iron expecting a waffle, you instead get a view of the inside of what should have been your waffle.
Others have mentioned that no amount of oil will prevent sticking--I'd like to qualify that: if you use 2-8 tbsp of crisco on each plate prior to making 1-2 sets of waffles, you will _probably_ be able to peel at least the first one off.
Customer Review: Very pleased with the purchase

I read a lot of reviews on waffle makers before I purchased this one. The waffle maker is pretty much as described, but the one thing I would have liked to have known was the fact that the "waffle wells" were not that deep. I like waffles that have DEEP "holes" so that I can get more syrup on each waffle, plus it makes the waffle itself crunchier. This waffle maker also makes a smaller waffle than what I'm used to. Otherwise it is a great product! The waffle does indeed come out much easier than some waffle makers -- I think that is because the waffle "holes" are not so deep. Pops right out! :-) I like the on/off button and the light. It's a really pretty maker, too. Easy to clean as well, since you can take the grill/waffle plates out.
