Compact. Just what we need in our little place for 2 people. It is a fun little toy for me. If I get tired of it, I know of some children who would love to have some fun with it.
My daughter absolutely looooves this. She loves it so much that he wanted to learn how to make waffles( she is 6!!!!). It's a shame it makes only 1 waffle. The whole family loves them!!
