Why is the flip needed? What's the great advantage of having a flip style Waffle Maker?

If you don't flip the waffle the batter has to rise to meet the top side of the iron and that makes for a denser waffle

No, it does not. This is a simple cast iron design, just follow the instructions for pre-heating/cooking and you shouldn't have any problems turning out some great waffles.

Its a press, so the lid lays down on top of what you're cooking. No flipping is necessary for the food, and it cooks more even in less time. The lid will stay fully open for cleaning or for when you put the food on the grill.

A mixture of reasons. The price was within the budget I'd set, I've had good experience with its T-Fal products, it looked like it would be attractive on the counter (the toaster and coffee pot never get out away here), and it has some features (like retoast) that I thought would be handy. Hope this helps.

Hi Jean, I have used both in this waffle maker. Sometimes the pancake mix will give you directions if you are going to use a pancake mix for waffles (usually less liquid), and I have also made my own waffle mix from scratch. Hope this helps.

Oh yes! You can easily flip them-just like you would if you were making an omlette on a griddle. I use a rubber spatula that works great. I would not use a metal one. I'm kind of picky when it comes to my crepes so I like both sides to be browned and like to flip the crepes. But you don't have to flip them if you don't want to because it will cook both sides without flipping. I have only tried this with crepes though, not pancakes.

I picked this one for basically the same reason you have stated, all positive reviews. It makes waffles pretty quick, so I don't think having the double decker is that important unless you are feeding 8 or 10 people.

It makes perfect waffles...not too thin or too thick. Use 1/3 cup batter. Thicker batter works best. Leftover waffles fit perfectly in toaster. Definitely is non-stick as it says. The standup for storage is great.

I did not see the video but have purchased this waffle maker and I love it! I would buy it again and have recommended it to friends.

This does not take long to cook a waffle at all. I would think there would be very little advantage into being able to make 2 at once. This one is superb. Best waffles I have ever had.

I'm not a fan of this machine It only gives me good waffle grooves on one side and the other side looks horrible. I haven't tried the recipe that comes with the machine but perhaps cooking on a lower temperature is best to reach the best internal cooking temperature. Hope this helps.

There is a basic Min-1-2-3 temp control. The flip is strange. I don't know if it locks until it achieves some certain temp after being filled with the dough, but it acts that way. Once you can flip it, it flips easily. We love it, but it takes at least 10 min per waffle no matter the batter on the max temp. Very easy to clean too.

I bought mine specifically for making Tortillas españolas (Spanish omelettes). It works perfectly for flipping the tortilla over to cook the other side! SO much easier and no risk of mess than trying to expertly flip in the same pan.

I don't think that the flipping actually has a real benefit. It really only flips over to lock as far as I know. It has heating elements on both sides so I don't think, other than locking the iron, flipping it does anything

It is easy to flip the crepes, and of course you can if you want to. It is not necessary, though. Just use your spatula that came with the crepe maker, and be careful not to overcook them.

I went to a hotel and they had a flipping waffle maker and it worked well! I then went out and bought a flipping waffle maker, but it would cook unevenly and come out burnt! I returned that waffle maker, and bought this one! This one you have PERFECT WAFFLES every time!! I even bought this for a friend it works so well! They are thick!

Each works independently. Basically... 1) both sides signal "ready to cook" when you warm the unit. 2) waffle one begins when you open the topmost cover, fill it, close it and spin it 180 degrees. Indicator Light on waffle one goes off. 3) waffle 2 can be started any time after step 2, but before the signal light comes back on for waffle 1, about 2-3 mins. 4) waffle 2, when you are ready, engages the same way as step 2. When you turn it 180 degrees, both waffle lights will be off. 5) based on steps above, waffle 1 light will be in top position when it indicates that waffle 1 is ready. Remove, refill, and spin 180 degrees. Repeat until all waffles are done! Hope this helps.
