I wanted a basic waffle maker with no bells and whistles. This one is good although the little lever to adjust the heat and brownness of the waffle was always loose and never seemed to be pin pointed in a level. After a few uses it just moves from side to side with no real exactness of setting. So I just learned how I liked it and time it myself. And they come out perfect.
This is my second one, first lasted over twelve years. Works well, the temperature setting is off compared to the previous one (3 on the old one is 4 1/2 on this). Well made, looking forward to many years of use.
This was a Christmas gift and I love it. The deep, wide bowl makes it great larger batches of cookies dough. There's plenty of room for an even consistent batter.
I needed a small waffle maker and this fit the bill. I read alot of reviews and had noticed some people were confused about when to put the batter in and when the waffles are cooked. If you read the instructions its very simple and the waffles come out perfect.
We split each waffle, eating while the next one is cooking. I don't actually pay attention to the built-in "READY" lights, I rely on the timer on my phone. The waffle iron is easy to use, and easy to clean.
