I really wanted to like this traditional waffle maker. I have quite a few Cuisinart small appliances and they have always served me well. I didn’t want a Belgian waffle maker, I wanted a traditional one. I’ve tried everything from waffle mixes to homemade malted waffle recipes in this waffle maker and each one has been a disappointment. There is a browning selector gauge that has so much play in it that you’re not sure if it’s on #2 or #5. That and the waffles come out soft and limp, regardless of the recipe used. It feels flimsy compared to other Cuisinart small appliances. I returned it and spent quite a bit more on another well-known name brand waffle maker (AC). It was worth the extra money because it makes excellent waffles.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
