Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Oster 3883 Belgian Wafflemaker, Chrome
Customer Review: easy to use and well priced
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great little waffle maker. I got it for Christmas '07. Breakfast is my favorite meal including having breakfast for dinner!
We're a household of 2, so we don't need a huge one that makes larger waffles or to feed lots of people. It's easy to store because of its size and is perfect for apartment living. I plug it in before I start my batter, and I've never had an issue with it being hot when I'm ready. It seems to heat up rather efficiently in my opinion.
I really like having the temp dial on it, because I like having crispy waffles, which is what you get on the high setting. I'm always careful not to put too much batter because I don't like cleaning appliances but either way, it is easily wiped clean and still looks and nice as when I got it.
Great waffle maker for the casual waffler!
Customer Review: It'll do...

Oster 3883 Belgian Wafflemaker, Chrome
This waffle maker does a good job although I'm not certain why an adjustable temp. knob is necessary...Waffles only come out good if it's turned up all the way anyway, so there's no point in making it adjustable...Secondly, although they say you're waffle is done when there's no more steam, you really don't know HOW done it is unless you actually open it and look...Fortunately, after I used it a few times I discovered that mine were done at 4 min, so now I just set a timer for 4 min...Too bad it simply doesn't beep or have a lite that goes on in 4 min...Other than those two criticisms, it's a decent wafflemaker, so I'll give it 4 stars out of 5
Customer Review: Our first waffle maker and it works very well
Summary: 4 Stars
We got this about 2 months back. I was looking for one that would be reasonably priced and work well.
Right from the first time we tried it we had yummy homemade waffles.... It takes a couple of tries to get the right amount in. If you put in too much it can overflow ... so when you first put it in go easy. Th batter should be the right consistency. We usually make waffles with the dial at "Max" so that its more brown. The only oil I use is some that I spray very lightly on the 2 sides of the waffles maker. No oil in my batter unless the mix already has any fat.
Now I can make healthy waffles with fresh grated apple, chopped bananas, blueberries etc.
I have had no sticking problems that some other users have mentioned.
Customer Review: Great for the price

Not the best waffler out there, but definitely the best for under $20. I replaced an old B&D with this, and I'm very happy with it. It doesn't cook perfectly evenly, so I flip the waffle when it is almost done so that the top cooks a little more. (I usually finish them off by toasting them in a toaster oven for a couple of minutes anyway to reheat and crisp them.
The lack of a light is not a problem, I leave it on max heat and haven't had a problem over cooking it, just watch for the steam subsiding.
Update: The waffle iron is still going strong with regular use.
Also, I'm not sure if this should really be a "belgian waffle" maker. The grid isn't really a whole lot deeper than a normal waffle iron.
Customer Review: Great waffles, given patience with heating
Summary: 4 Stars
After reading reviews on Amazon, I decided to give this wafflemaker a try, as it looked better than anything I could find in a retail environment, for the money. Overall, I believe it is a quality product that ultimately produces really good waffles. I was disappointed with the first couple times I used it, as the waffles were not getting nearly brown enough on the darkest setting. However, I have found that if I let it heat well beyond when the ready light goes on, the waffles brown nicely.
