Oster is known for their quality products and this one is no exception. I recently became obsessed with making protein waffles (including omelet waffles) and didn’t want to invest too much money into a waffle maker so gave this one a shot. It’s a very good size, heats up very fast. Easy to clean. Does stick a tiny bit but I usually do not spray anything. Highly recommended.

As I write this review, I just received my third Oster waffle maker. #2 is still working but it’s well used and they were on Lightning sales today for $14.
This is a very basic unit with a bit of a learning curve. There is no ON/OFF button, no timer, it’s somewhat shallow and doesn’t flip. The lightweight material used for the plates (guessing aluminum and Teflon) doesn’t make the greatest waffles as compared to cast iron plates. The thermostat is cheap with proximal sensors only.
However, it is cheap, can be stored vertically and does a decent job (if you learn how to work it).

There are a few tricks that will lead to better waffles:
1. Ignore the READY light. Preheat this Oster so that the plates get fully hot before using it. I usually turn mine on HIGH, wait a while, test the distal edge with a small drop of water and watch for a sizzle. No sizzle, wait some more. When those plates are fully hot, pour the batter (edges first, middle last) then reduce the temp to your desired setting. I can’t stress -GET IT HOT- enough.
2. I oil the plates just once before pouring the first batter (not before preheat or oil may burn). Just before I pour the batter, I give both plates a good quick spray of non-stick. The waffles will be less likely to stick and it helps gives the outsides a much better crisp. I treat my Oster like it has cast iron plates — but that’s just my preference because I like very crispy outsides and soft insides.
3. Use a real waffle mix or make your own. Waffle mixes have a higher fat and sugar content which makes better waffle texture. Combo pancake/waffle mixes or just plain pancake mixes are going to be more like waffle shaped pancakes.
4. Cold batter cooks differently than room temp batter. Cold takes longer for the fats to break down and for the sugars to caramelize. So, you will need to adjust your times and heat.
5. Don’t put the top plate down immediately. I let a little steam escape then lower the top. If your oiled plates trap steam, your middles will be a different texture than the edges. Because the batter lowers the temp of the bottom plate and not the top plate, the top plate will be hotter and hit hotter batter. So, the waffles will still cook evenly. I never time how long I wait but it’s maybe 10 or so seconds.
6. If your first couple of batches aren’t great,
be patient. You will need to experiment and practice. It took me a while before my waffle and cornbread results were perfected for my preference. For example, when my waffles weren’t fully cooked in the middle and the outsides weren’t crisping, I changed from 2% cold milk to 4% room temp milk, decreased milk content and replaced with room temp sour cream, added more sugar, changed to salted, room temp butter and replaced one whole egg with powdered whole egg. I kept notes using exact measurements and weights with changes (I worked in a bakery for 5 years).
Upgraded from 4 stars to 5. Anything device that gives me years of good service and only costs $15 deserves 5 stars.

Update
2/23/19 Units 2 and 3 still work fine, both are well seasoned and the non-stick is fully intact on both.

Me encanta… como esta nueva todos los días hago mis waffles proteicos: Avena, claras, proteína, chia, linaza, canela, vainilla. Me salen aproximadamente 2 hermosos y doraditos waffles.
Olvide curarla como indica las instrucciones, pero lo que hago es rociar un poco de aceite en aerosol antes de cada preparación y listo no se pega. Hay que controlar la cantidad pues a veces puede botarse un poco.

I bought this to replace our 15 year old waffle maker. Waffles don’t stick, they cook fast, and it’s easy to operate, and to clean. Very happy with purchase.

Estuve buscando bastante tiempo una wafflera que me convenciera y cuando vi esta, me gustó no solo por el precio, si no por el respaldo de la marca Oster. Vi varias “reviews” en YouTube y todas la recomendaban.
Llegó a casa en envió y la utilicé al día siguiente. Había visto que algunas personas tenían problema para lograr que los waffles tuvieran el término adecuado (crujiente), pero otros decían que solo era cuestión de prueba y error y daban varios consejos. La primera vez me quedaron algo blandos, pero pensé que en próximas ocasiones lo solucionaría. Han pasado varios meses desde entonces y simplemente nunca quedan como quisiera. He probado de todo, pero aparentemente es cosa de la unidad, calienta muchísimo más de un lado y por eso los waffles no quedan tan bien como deberían. En lo personal no es algo que me molesta demasiado, pero si eres MUY exigente, tal vez te decepcione un poco. Desconozco si el problema esté en todas las unidades o sea problema de control de calidad y sea cosa de suerte que te toque una que tenga este problema.
En resumen, no es perfecta, pero para el precio que tiene, es más que aceptable y recomendada.

This is my second one, I had to replace my older one because it was too old, I had other options but I came back to this one because 1. Its so simple and easy to use. 2. That’s it.
We use this almost every single day, I’ve had this brand for years and have no complains!

La manufactura de la wafflera es excelente sin problema alguno, se recomienda antes de usarla “curarla” aplicando aceite o mantequilla antes de prenderla para no quemarse y así por unos minutos a temperatura media para que se elimine el posible sabor a metal.
De la marca Oster es difíl encontrar este producto hoy en día ya que tiene mucha demanda ya que quedan los waffles muy ricos, se puede variar la temperatura a tu gusto para que puedas obtener el efecto de dorarlos así como cruji, depende de la textura a tu elección, se probó diferentes temperaturas y la media es de lo mejor al obtener la textura crujientemente rica, se ilumina la luz verde al terminar. Es antiadherente muy fácil de limpiar, para mayor detalle en el manual que viene incluido tiene un recetario básico y eficaz, es práctica para guardarse por su tamaño pequeño, la recomendamos ampliamente. Gracias =D

I should preface this review with the fact that I absolutely LOVE waffles, and that I’ve never had a waffle maker before- In fact, for my entire adult life, I’ve walked past waffle makers in the store and never considered buying one. I felt that wafflers were for “other” people. People with money and great kitchens and Saturday brunches. Surely not for me. But, one day several months ago, we were wandering down the waffler aisle and I told my men- Husband & 2 boys- that I wanted a waffle maker for Mother’s Day. Now, my husband is not a fan of waffles or shopping. So, Mother’s Day arrived and I was presented with instructions to “Pick out any waffle maker [I] want!” But I’m pretty cheap, so I picked this one.
My waffler arrived exactly on time, which was awesome- but the FedEx man seemed oddly disturbed by my outward display of appreciation. (I know I’m not the only one who does the Amazon Delivery Happy Dance while the delivery guy’s still on the porch.)
I opened the box and immediately read the instructions, which seemed pretty straightforward. I cleaned the hotplates with a damp cloth and then wiped them with a bit of vegetable oil on a napkin. Then, I made waffles.
And I haven’t stopped making waffles.
I’m eating one right now.
Here are some specks:
-The waffle maker gets hot. Be careful.
-Some reviews say that the lid is loose- OF COURSE it’s loose; it needs to be able to slightly rise as the batter slightly rises. Come on.
-The instructions call for 3/4 cup of batter, but I found that just over 1/2 cup works best for minimal seepage. Maybe 2/3 cup.
-The instructions also call for a 3-5 minute bake time, I’ve found this to be true. Also watch for when steam stops billowing out & there’s just a thin stream of steam. (You can open the lid to check after about a minute, when the top crust is sealed. You can stick a fork into a thick of the waffle to check for doneness.)
– When the temp is set right in the middle, the inside of the waffle is done just in time for the outside to be slightly crispy.
-The waffles aren’t Belgians, but they’re not toaster-waffle-thin, either. Right in the middle.
-The cinnamon roll thing works. We had them for breakfast. OM to the G.
-If your waffler begins to get sticky, clean it well, make sure it’s dry, and re-wipe with a bit of oil. (Re-season it)
****I’m sure this waffle maker won’t last for years and years. Maybe I’ll upgrade to a sturdier, more expensive model eventually. But the price was right for this one. I recommend it.
Here’s a recipe:
Preheat waffler to middle setting.
Sift together:
2 cups flour
3 tsp baking POWDER
1/4 tsp salt
1-2 tsp cinnamon (Optional, of course, but come on.)
In a different bowl, mix:
2 whole eggs
1/4 cup oil
1 1/2 cup milk (anything heavier than whole milk, like cream, will make a heavier waffle)
3 Tbsp sugar (I use 1 white & 2 brown)
Vanilla to taste (I use 1 tsp)
add the wet ingredients to the dry slowly while mixing with a fork.
Pour 1/2- 2/3 cups batter in the middle of the waffle and bake 2-4 minutes.
Easiest removal of waffles is with a fork poked into the side & with a slight twisting motion.
Throw some chocolate chips on that bad boy & cover him with maple syrup.
Enjoy <3

After a few recent stays in hotels with Waffle makers, thought I should have one. Price wise this is a low end product that does not disappoint. To me it makes waffles like the more expensive hotel versions. It is easy to make waffles and clean. It does take a few extra minutes but that does not bother me.

After my previous waffle maker of 11 years died, I almost bought the exact same one. However it was a bit too expensive and my kids are grown up so it didn’t warrant spending that kind of money.
Got this cheap one for the occasional use. It does what it claims to do. Just that the plates are not deep enough and so the waffles are not the really thick ones I was used to with my old maker.
Nonetheless, this works well, haven’t tried the temp control much as we just set to the highest and wait for the steam to stop pouring out to open and check for doneness to our liking. Cleaning it is as much a pain as any other waffle maker that does not have removable plates.
Good value for money so far. No way of knowing how long it will last.
