Exactly what I was hoping it would be! Makes a great waffle - you can adjust how light/dark and soft/crisp you want it to be, the light indicates when it's ready for use and when the waffle is done, and cleanup is easy. If you're a single person or couple, this is just perfect and I highly recommend; if you're a family, I suggest considering their larger 4-square model for added convenience.
The waffle iron needs an audio notification as well as the ready light. I have to constantly watch for the ready light to turn on so it is difficult to prepare the rest of breakfast. Also, the temperature range goes up to 5 and at 4 1/2 it is still on the light side.
