I was given this waffle girddle for Christmas and used it for the first time yesterday. When the second waffle was done, I opened the lid and the pin on one side that holds it on fell out in two pieces. (PLastic). I managed to get the lid straight and started on the third waffle. When it was done and I raised the lid, the pin on the other side fell out....broken in to three pieces! Now, I can't get the lid to fit at all and the product is worthless.
Purchased this waffle maker right before Christmas. It worked fine. When we went to use it the second time the upper lid would not stay up. Accused our daughter of not putting it away properly. Purchased a second one. Used it one time. My husband happened to notice when he went to clean it that the knobs connecting the lid to the base melted/or broke off from the heat. Needless to say, my daughter is off the hook. There is a problem with the knobs that attach the lid to the base.
Took it out of the box, pre-treated it as suggested, used it to make a batch of waffles, cleaned it and as I was closing it back up the hinge broke off on one side. Besides that it did make perfect wallfes.
Bought Wafle iron as Christmas gift. After Fisrt use, went to wash and the two plastic connecting ping broke as if the pieces were brittle. Had stopped using Black and Decker tools for poor parts in construction. Guess the Kitchen appliances are no better.
The small knobs holding the lid on fell out during my first attempt to use the waffle iron. Therefore, I could not continue to use the unit. I returned the unit and got another new unit as a replacement. The small knobs also fell off the second unit. I'm not sure why this unit has such a defect.
I was so excited to get this waffle maker for Christmas. Unfortunately, the 2nd time I used it, the hinge broke. Trying to check out that one, the other hinge broke. From what I have seen on other sites, this is a VERY common problem in the 1st or 2nd use. Black and Decker, I would recommend fixing the hinges before selling more of these.
I have purchased 2 of these in less than a month using each one only once and they both fell apart after only one use. the first i thought maybe it was defective ,but when the second did exactly the same thing i realized it has to be the product itself. don't really think i want another one.
