Waring Pro Double Belgian Waffle Maker

...the best waffle maker out there.... what makes it good? The fact that you can make 2 waffles at one time. - Shades

Makes the evenly cooked waffles in the most expedient way. Once we got this, requests for waffles went up exponentially compared to pancakes... - swanky

NordicWare Cast Aluminum Stovetop Belgium Waffle Iron

It’s not the easiest to use since you have to manage the heat yourself but with some practice it works well, is cheap (compared to high end waffle irons), and takes up nearly no room. - AmaDaden

...if properly cared for, they last forever. The one in my house is about 38 years old and still puts out an amazing waffle - Spooly Poppington

Cuisinart Round Classic Waffle Maker

I’ll always be a fan of the Cuisinart Round Classic Waffle Maker. It’s simple, it’s easy to use, it heats evenly, and it gives you everything you need — adjustable temperature, a power light, and a light to tell you when the iron is ready/when your waffle is done. No bells, no whistles, just a nice, user-friendly iron for turning out waffles. - HeartBurnKid

Yes! Because fuck Belgian waffles.

Really though, this is the only waffle iron I can use to make satisfactory Banh Kep La Dua (Vietnamese pandan waffles). Still searching for the perfect recipe, but at least I have the waffle iron as I test. - Persnicket

Presto FlipSide Belgian Waffle Maker

There’s only one waffle iron for small kitchens, the Presto Belgian waffle iron. It doesn’t do much, but what it does, it does well, and only takes up 2”x6” when stored. - Clovis Sangrail

I’d recommend this one based on the space savings alone. However, it’s also a great iron! It consistently does them right every time. It’s not complicated and it has lasted us close to a decade at this point. But I can’t put enough emphasis on the space savings. - fiji.siv

Hamilton Beach Belgian Waffle Maker

Just love the idea of removable plates. You know the batter gets everywhere. Its one thing to wash the plates but can probably just wipe down the unit separately instead of trying to wash a wired appliance in the sink (never fun). - peteike

I use this one all the time. I didn’t make waffles for years, because I could never find a good one. With every other waffle(I usually make 5 for my family) I spray the waffle maker with non stick spray and they come out great. - flowerchild
