I love this waffle maker. I make waffles for an army of family members in the summer and it has never let me down. The waffles come out just how we like them because you can adjust for doneness. We top them with butter, fruit and pure maple syrup, what could be better.
Waffle are thoroughly cooked, but they are thin and without a crunch. The control is loose, thus I am never sure of the exact position. I put it just off the 5 stop so maybe it doesn't matter much. I do an oil wipe before starting the batch. None stick, but I do need to use a fork to get them off.
Temperature selector is really loose so it is hard to get a consistent temperature. Elements do not heat the grid evenly... Maybe it will get better with more use...
I am disappointed in the uneveness of baking and the waffles come out more the consistency of pancakes. Don't count on the light to tell you they are done.
