I bought Cuisinart brand because it has a good reputation. I have found that it is not very sturdy - the hinge is loose but did not effect the finished product. What would be helpful would be a handle on each side so I could move or adjust it. I had to put the temperature higher than you recommended to get crisp waffles. I put it up to 4.5 and then they were crispy on the outside the way we like them.
I love this appliance. Its small, makes perfect waffels quickly, easy to store. Its the best to take to work for pot lucks. we eat a lot more waffles now.
I bought this when my old waffle maker gave out. It works well and the features are nice. I like waffles that are on the more, well-done side. It seems that I have to let it go for 2 cycles and the waffles are just right. Over all it works well and I'm happy with the performance of the machine.
I Purchased the waffle maker to replace a larger waffle maker and it does the job great. It’s easily stored, very easy cleanup & waffles came out perfect each, time it’s only missing the ready notifications.
First time we used the product the top handle fell off. We had to unplug it to clean-up the mess. We took it back and we were given a new one. We hope the one works.
