I loved this after I first got it...but now with both hinges having broken and the new too expensive replacement doing the same after the first use, I would not recommend it.
This is the second Black and Decker Belgian Waffle Maker that we have purchased. Our first one lasted two months and the plastic hinge bolt cracked and fell out. Our second try with another new waffle maker and the same problem with the plastic hinge pins, except these broke on the very first use. Very disappointing.
The second time I used it the plastic snap-in hinge pin end broke on the left side, on the forth usage the right side fell out. the non stick surface is not that greas either.
This is a great waffle maker, except for the fact that the snap in hinge pins broke while in use. Sad part is that it was only the second time I got to use the waffle maker. In the process of finding out how difficult it will be to get new pins.
I had it for about a week and it has broken on me. The hinge is made of plastic and now I have two broken plastic pieces and a waffle maker down the drain.
The wafflle maker it self works great,the problem is the pins that holds the the top to the bottom are cheaply made and they break. We have gone thru three of them now and had the same results on all of them.
