The Breakfast Central has some positive and some negative features. I purchased it to replace my Krups Waffle Maker that I had for years. The positive features are that the unit has the two sets of plates, one for waffles and one for pancakes. The plates are easy to install and clean. The most negative feature is the rim of the plates protrude from the top and bottom of the unit even when the lid is closed. You have to be careful not to get burnt even if the lid is closed. Unfortunately, I got burnt the first time I used it. On my old waffle maker, that also had removable plates, the plates were set in and therefore, were not exposed when the waffle iron was in use. The Breakfast Central makes cute pancakes and waffles, please note they tend to be smaller than other square waffle makers.The pancakes tend to be less done on one side even when fully cooked. They don't look perfect but taste fine. It is convenient to be able to make four pancakes at one time. I would recommend this unit if you don't mind the negative features. On the positive side, it is easy to store in the upright position and the unit is lighter to lift than the older heavier waffle makers. The Breakfast Central all in all has been working fine since I adjusted to it. I have had it for about two months now.

After looking at several waffle makers, this was the best for the price (even though it was higher than we wanted to pay). Works well and the main reason for our purchase is the easily removed plates for cleaning.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The pancake plates come installed; took me a minute to figure how to switch them to waffle plates. Made waffle -making easy. The removable plates means it's fairly easy to thoroughly clean.

Just came in from Cuisinart this week and made our first batch. Used to buy Vanns multigrain frozen waffles but it became hard to find them. Stores would sell out quickly or just never stocked them so we decided to make our own. Bought Reds multigrain mix, mixed in melted butter instead of oil and added the egg yolk plus folded in the beaten egg white. First batch a bit light at “3” but the next was much better at the “4” setting. No sticking, very easy to clean, made absolutely perfect waffles. Love this unit, it was just so easy to use.
