Black & Decker G48TD Grill and Waffle Baker

Reviews say the Black & Decker G48TD Grill and Waffle Baker is the best budget choice for making standard American-style waffles (which are thinner than Belgian waffles). The Black & Decker G48TD Grill and Waffle Baker produces four 4.5-inch, square waffles at a time, making it a good choice for families. You can also remove the waffle grids to expose flat plates that can be used as a griddle for eggs, pancakes and grilled sandwiches. User reviews are extremely positive, but there are some durability complaints, and some say the Black & Decker G48TD Grill and Waffle Baker's exterior becomes dangerously hot. Additionally, the nonstick interior isn't very effective, some owners report. If you want Belgian waffles, reviews point to the VillaWare V2002 Uno Classic Round Waffler (*Est. $45) as the best budget choice.
