For the price and size, waffle maker does its job. I have limited storage space so this fit the bill. Heats up quickly and lets you know (with a green light) when your waffle is done based on the level or darkness you select from 1-5.
This replaced my decade old Cuisinart waffle maker and is certainly a significant improvement. The non-stick surface is durable and really does not stick! The waffles are evenly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside - just what I like. Also, the heat-isolated handle for lifting the upper plate is larger than before with much less chance of coming into contact with hot surfaces. My only complaint is that the old model whistled when the waffles were done and this one only changes the small light on the front. I have to pay attention while I'm making them. All-in-all a great product!
Produces waffles that are raw on the edges which quickly changes to a burned ring. The very center was pretty good. Intended for counter-top use, it gets hot enough on the outside to quickly inflict 3rd degree burns when inadvertently brushed. You'd be better off making pancakes.

I love this product! I’m a huge waffle fan and I love how quick and easy it is to use this waffle maker. It’s ready in just seconds and I also love how easy it is to clean. Best product I’ve gotten this year thanks to my sister!!
The Cuisnart round classic waffle maker is an excellent product. Easy to use, easy to clean priced right….but most importantly makes Great waffles. Highly recommend. The Cuisinart brand always represents quality!
We love the thin crispy waffles this makes. Cuisinart seems to be the only one that does. Our first one lasted 20 years, and we hope this one does too!
