Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oster 3883 Belgian Wafflemaker, Chrome
Customer Review: Great product!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recieved this as a gift and considered returning it for a different model, but after reading the reviews on Amazon, I decided to keep it. This morning I used it for the first time and was very pleased. My former waffle maker was an ancient model from the 70's that burned everything, needed to sprayed with oil within an inch of it's life EVERY time to keep the batter from sticking and seemed to me to be a major fire hazard. Now I can throw that one away!
I did like everyone on the reviews recommended - I plugged it in before I started my batter and turned it up to MAX. The first time, I overfilled it, but I caught on quickly. The waffles were crispy and delicious in about 5 minutes. And the best part - I didn't need to spray it with oil!!! I'm very happy with this product. True, it does not brown the waffles evenly, but you can just flip the waffle over half way through if it bothers you.
Customer Review: looks cool - bakes great!

I'm not sure what the previous reviewer was talking about because my Oster makes perfect waffles...the only way you can really screw up is if you make a bad batter (too wet) and over fill the waffle maker...this is also an amazing little maker because it has a heat control so you can bake waffles longer times or shorter depending if you want darker or lighter waffles...(and it is one of the very rare makers that uses an 850 watt heater...most only use 600 watts or so)
i got it on sale at target so i have to give it 5 stars...and about cleaning it...well, first try a spray coat of cooking oil spray for the first waffle...and when you are done let it cool and pull out with a long toothpick any left over waffle bits...actually i have necer really had to "clean" it since it is excellent non-stick plates..only a wipe down with a cloth...
Customer Review: Great Waffles!

I have found online food companies that produce low-carb, sugar-free Pancake and Waffle Mixes.I never ate waffles much because the mixes contained such high carbohydrates and increased sugar. Once I purchased the mixes, I needed a good waffle maker. I found a good waffle maker at a good price at Amazon. Unless you make waffles frequently, there is a little preparation required. In my view, the waffle mix needs to be a little liquid so it will flow evenly when applying to the grill. I usually double the amount of water to the mix so I can cover the grill with circular motions. I now enjoy waffles about once a week. The waffle maker does a good job of browning the waffle to the right color you prefer.Customer Review: you CAN have it good, cheap & fast!

For under $20 this is an awesome product. If you want the giant, deep waffles that you get from a restaurant at home, you can spend over $500 for a commercial waffler. If you just want good waffles fast & cheap, get this one. Adding some malted milk powder to your batter may also give you the restaurant-quality taste that you seek.
I set mine on med/high - after only about 2 minutes the ready light comes on. I use 1/2 cup of batter & cook undisturbed for 4 minutes. Perfect waffles every time & ready light recovers quickly for the next waffle. When I make a big batch for freezing, I cook only 3 minutes each, this way they won't burn when I toast them right out of the freezer.
Customer Review: Best waffle maker at the best price!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me start by saying that I have had nearly 6 different models of waffle makers, and had a chance to use all of them for quite a while.
This waffle maker works just perfect for my family. We fire it up usually once every week or two weeks, and it makes perfect waffles every time. I always turn it up to MAX, that seems to be the optimal setting, and depending on whether you like crispy waffles or a little bit soft, it takes about 3-5 minutes.
Very sturdy and reliable, I recently ordered a second one so we can make 2 waffles at a time to speed things up.
A great value at this price, I would even pay 50 dollars for this.
