I have used my waffle maker extensively and satisfactorily. One complaint is that the prescribed thickness of the batter is too liquid to create thicker waffles. the thinner suggested mix will spill out the sides. Otherwise, I love it.
If you are planning on feeding waffles to the Jr. Chipmunk Troop, this is not for you. If you want outstanding waffles for 1 or 2, this is perfect. Cooking time is short enough so that the 2nd waffle is done before the first one gets cold. Repeatability of desired doneness is excellent once you find your setting of preference, and that brings me to the only negative I have on this. The slide for setting the cook time is rather "sloppy" in that you must play with it a bit to find out just where you are actually set. This should be a very inexpensive fix for Cuisinart that would improve customer satisfaction.
This makes the regular waffles which I refer. Very easy to operate and easy instruction on how to use. When I wear this one out I will get another one just like it.
