Definately Above the Rest

Like other reviewers, I looked carefully before choosing this waffle maker. While not the cheapest, I am very happy with it. It makes fantastic waffles, is super easy to use, and is very easy to clean. I was surprised when the instructions stated that you only need to oil the iron once (the first time you use it), and this has proven to be true. The iron needs minimal cleaning after use; in fact, the instructions state that you should not scrub the iron after use - just wipe off any excess batter and put it away. I think the oil in the batter stays on the iron, but am not sure.

There is a wide channel running alongside the iron that catches any spill-overs and sends them down toward the front of the machine, keeping the machine and my counter clean.

Others have pointed out the temperature adjustment feature on this machine, which is straightforward and eay to use. Other machines just had a slider that gave no indication of whether one position was hot, not hot, or whatnot. This one has a series of numbers as well as labels like "lighter" and "darker." Usually, I leave it on 4, but occasionally use 5 - it just depends on the recipe you're using and how crispy you like your waffles.

Speaking of crispy, the one distinct feature of this machine is that there is a switch that alters the way that the waffle is baked, depending on the type of waffle you are making. According to the instruction manual, the switch changes the recovery time of the waffle iron. So, if you are cooking a desert waffle that is crispy, you use the switch to slow down the recovery time so the waffle iron takes longer to get back up to temperature, which has the effect of baking the waffle evenly from the inside out. For a regular waffle, the iron will recover much faster, which browns the outside while leaving the inside moist - precisely the effect you want. In any case, a neat feature if you like crispy waffles.

Finally, you can roll up the cord underneath the machine and stand it on its end (notice that the back of the machine is flat). This takes up a lot less space in my cabinet.

Overall, I would highly recommend this waffle iron to anyone who wants to buy one that is easy to use and will give them years of use. I spent quite a bit of time looking for this in the hopes of being able to avoid repeating this exercise a year from now. I am confident that I will be using this machine for many years to come.

Wow, what a great waffle maker!

I liked this so much that I bought one for a friend as a wedding gift.
It heats up quickly and makes waffles in no time. Clean up is simple and it stores easily. It's well designed, easy to clean and makes a great waffle!

Happy Waffle Family

This product is exactly what we wanted. We enjoy waffles with the kids every Sunday morning. One likes crispy and one likes moist waffles...and this little waffle maker makes both. We did some research and settled on the 830B and are very happy.

Works really well

I've had this waffle iron for a couple of weeks and it's worked really well. I haven't encountered any sticking - the waffle comes out with ease. I've only tried the even texture setting and it's been very consistent. I do have it turned a notch below the recommended toasting setting as I find it's a little too crispy for my liking if I don't. I'm very happy with my purchase so far.

I like it, but...

The Chef's Choice 830B WafflePro Classic Belgian Waffle Maker makes soft waffles no matter how I adjust the heat control knob. I have tried a higher temperature, and I have tried putting the waffles on a wire cake rack, as the instructions suggest. The waffles still turn out soft on the outside instead of crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. Everything else about the waffle iron is as advertised. The waffle iron is fast, easy to clean and and easy to store. I tried the recipe that came with the instructions, but I prefer the Bisquick waffle recipe. If you are happy with soft waffles, this waffle iron is the one for you.
