Customer Review: Exactly What I Was Looking For
Summary: 5 Stars
I have wanted an excellent quality round Belgian Waffle Iron for a while. Unable to find one locally, I started researching them on Amazon and I read almost every review and product specification of each one listed here. I also visited the website of each of the manufacturers. This was the one I finally settled on and I have been so excited awaiting it's arrival! (Thanks to each of you for taking the time to give your opinion of your the waffle iron you purchased) A couple of times I thought "nothing is ever as good as it claims to be so I need to be prepared to be disappointed". But just the opposite is true - it has exceeded all my expectations! I used it for the first time this morning and the results were fantastic.
You can tell that it's good quality when you first pick it up - it's sturdily built with the heftiness you would expect. It comes with a nice little instruction booklet (I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was written by someone whose first language is English) including a couple of recipes and detailed instructions on the use of the product.
The controls were a major deciding factor on my purchase. They are well engineered and elevated at the rear of the iron so that if you happen to overfill the base, the overflow can't get into them and gum up the works. But you won't have a problem if you follow the directions in your booklet and if you make your batter thick enough. You can control the crispness as well as the darkness of your waffle and believe it or not, all of the controls (including the timer) are ACCURATE! The waffles are done in almost no time. The green light comes on to tell you when they're done but you don't have to stand there and watch because the timer also beeps. And while loud enough to be heard above my radio in the kitchen, the sound was not annoying.
When you're finished cooking just let the iron cool down and wipe it out with a paper towel. For storage the cord wraps neatly and fastens securely in the track provided on the bottom so the iron can stand vertically to take up less space. Also, I like the way that the lid is on a floating hinge so the waffle has more room to rise but still gets evenly browned.
I did find something while researching this product that I think is worth mentioning. While I really don't think it will have any adverse effect on the purchase of this product, it seems that they are phasing-out the Chef's Choice brand. Apparently they are now calling all the Chef's Choice products by the manufacturer's name - Edgecraft (for example: Edgecraft 830B WafflePro Classic Belgian Waffle Maker). However, the products themselves still have "Chef's Choice" printed on them. They seem to have made some superficial changes to the design (the obvious one was that the irons now have a ridged instead of a smooth lid) and they have raised the prices but as far as I can tell it's still the same product - the specifications are all still the same. It has just been within this last week that they have started to implement the change and as of right now the style that I bought is still the one shown on their website. It may or may not take a while until the phase-out is complete so if you are looking for a good waffle iron, I highly recommend you take the plunge and buy this one before you have to pay more for the redesign.
Description of Chef's Choice 830B WafflePro Classic Belgian Waffle Maker
Chef's Choice 830 B Classic Belgian waffle maker makes delicious waffles in less than 90 seconds. The unique Quad baking system lets you select the ideal flavor, texture and color. No guess work on this model, the ready beeper and light will let you know when your waffle is done. It has an easy to clean, overflow channel and saves space with the upright storage. 1 year warranty and 1100 watts.Deep-pocketed Belgian waffles cook in 90 seconds or less with this 1100-watt WafflePro from Chef?s Choice. The waffle maker?s unique Quad Baking System allows a choice of texture, color, aroma, and flavor for each individual waffle. No longer just a breakfast treat with maple syrup, waffles on the crisp side make a perfect dessert when paired with ice cream, while kids love moist brownie waffles for an after-school snack. Recipes are included in the user guide.
A rocker switch lets you choose between a faster baked waffle with a crisp exterior, moist interior, and heady aroma, or one cooked more slowly with a uniform texture throughout. The color control dial offers individual preference ranging from light golden brown to dark brown. Each 6-1/2-inch round waffle is quartered, allowing it to be divided easily between hungry kids or served as wedge-shape ?cookies.? The WafflePro also features nonstick plates and an overflow channel that wipe clean, a floating hinge to maintain even baking over varying thicknesses, and a beeper that sounds five times when cooking is done. Green and red baking lights make the whole procedure a snap. The cord wraps neatly underneath and the maker stands upright for compact storage. The waffle maker measures 8-1/2 by 9-1/2 by 3 inches and comes with a one-year warranty. --Ann Bieri
