I used my waffle iron for the first time yesterday, and was generally pleased with it. The instructions for using it are clear, and it makes nice, crisp waffles. It cleans up really easily, even though I created several messes with it, due to adding too much batter. One should definitely use a scant half cup of batter. No need for oil - the waffles don't stick. The only negative for me was that the light didn't change color when I added the batter and closed the lid. It took some pressure and a bit of wiggling to get the light to change. That was a minor issue, and the speed of cooking got faster as I progressed through the bowl of batter. I would recommend this waffle maker.

Was looking for just a simple, classic style waffle maker and this has proven to be excellent and just what I need. Fairly light weaight, but sturdy and easy to store & clean. Makes excellent waffles. I mostly make buckwheat waffles but have also made regular white flour waffles. Both have turned out nicely - Crisp & nicely browned on the outside & tender on the inside. I might use a little bit of cooking spray for the first one or two waffles (just to ensure no sticking) but I have never had a waffle stick and all have been super easy to remove from the waffle maker. You just have to adjust the temp setting to get the browness, crispness you desire - mine is usually between 3 to 4 depending on the flours used.
