I just can't praise the Proctor-Silex Belgian Waffle Baker enough and I've used several. When my first one finally broke after years of use, I couldn't find another. from Amazon.com It makes fabulous waffles--just about perfect. The only problem is clean up. I prefer to be able to remove the irons for cleaning, and get to the crevices of the baker to clean the accumulation of oil. The irons wipe clean easily, but getting into the crevices is not easy. from Amazon.com I tried a few others in this price range, but I didn't like the thickness of the "Belgian" ones. I like a crisper waffle, and this one makes them perfectly. from Amazon.com I've had this waffle iron for years now, actually I used it so much that I had to replace it with another one. Love the fact that you can store it upright so that the footprint is compact. from Amazon.com Don't expect 'restaurant quality' as some here have said. These make deep-welled, tho unevenly browned, home-made American waffles. Good to eat, but not really Belgian as you may find in a nice restaurant. I made the buttermilk recipe from the package instructions. from Amazon.com I purchased the Waring Pro due to the good reviews but found it to be WAY too big and it did not even produce good waffles in my opinion. I decided to try out the Proctor Silex and I was blown away. It made the most perfect restaurant style Belgian waffles quickly and easily. It can be stored vertically so as not to take up much space as well. from Amazon.com I LOVE this new one! The waffles come out perfect everytime--no matter what batter type i use or how many i make at one sitting. Once the iron heats up, the waffles come out within 5 minutes or less of each other..so i have no problem with hungry family. And the waffles are BIG and thick, so usually i go through no more than 2 runs for each (and that's only if there is nothing else being served). from Amazon.com This is a very simple well-made Belgian Waffle Baker that does a nice job baking beautiful waffles. This is a quality product at an attractive price point. from Amazon.com We loved this waffle iron so much that after my last proctor-silex waffle iron died after 9 years we bought another one- pretty good value for 9 year use. It makes great thick crispy round belgian waffles. from Amazon.com It takes up little storage space, as it is designed to stand up on it's end. The instructions are clear, it is easy to use, and easier to clean than I expected. I worried it would be hard to tell when the waffles were done - they take 5 minutes every time, but if they needed longer, it would work fine to close the irons again. And fresh waffles are so much better than frozen. from Amazon.com
