FAQ

Q: Does it brown the waffles evenly?
A: According to some customer reviews, the waffle maker may not brown the waffles evenly on all settings.

Q: Will it work for 220 volt wiring?
A: The same model of this waffle maker is offered in Latinoamerica and should work at 220 volts as well.

Q: What is the diameter of the waffle?
A: The waffle maker creates an 8-inch round Belgian-style waffle that is about 7 inches in diameter once cooked.

Q: What kind of non-stick surface is the interior? What kind of chemicals? Are they potentially carcinogenic?
A: The non-stick surface is made of PTFE, also known as Teflon, which was likely made with PFOA or a similar but less-tested pollutant (GenX). While the appliance itself will probably not be carcinogenic in practice, the creation of it probably was.

Q: How many years does this waffle maker last?
A: Some customers have reported issues with their waffle makers after only a few uses, while others have reported using it for years without any problems.

Q: Can it be stored vertically?
A: Yes, this waffle maker can be stored vertically for easy storage.

Q: I've only used this waffle iron twice. Both times the temperature dial gets so hot I can barely touch it to adjust the shade. Is this normal?
A: No, this waffle maker is not designed to overheat. Customers experiencing this issue are advised to contact customer service for assistance.

Q: Can you flip it upside down?
A: This waffle maker does not flip, but it makes deep pocket waffles on either side.

Overall, this Oster Belgian Waffle Maker features an adjustable temperature control, non-stick plates that easily release your Belgian waffles, and a safe-to-touch handle that provides a firm grip and helps prevent burns. While some customers have reported issues with uneven browning or overheating, others have found it to be a great basic unit for making delicious homemade waffles.
