Works well out of the box. Only used it once and followed instructions. The little pouring cup that comes with allows for the exact amount of batter to be poured. However, it tends to get very messy. Recommend mixing your batter in a large mixing bowl with a pouring spout. Then you can carefully pour to fill the waffle makers griddle. Less mess.
We purchased the Belgian waffle maker to replace our old one and it works great. When serving directly from the waffle maker, we use it on the higher setting so our waffles are nice and crisp on the outside and will stand up to syrup without getting soggy. If we have extra batter, we make them on a lighter setting so we can freeze them and then put them in the toaster to heat them up for breakfast on another day (or to send home with the grandkids 😉). Try putting leftover turkey or chicken stuffing in it, then when ready to serve, cover it with a few slices of meat and top with hot gravy - yummm. It is easy to use and easy to clean. We received no compensation to review this product. We liked it so well, we bought two more and gave them as gifts.
We were impressed with the mechanical quality of this waffle maker. It's an appliance that looks as if it were made to display in a fine kitchen. The first waffles we made were perfect.Cleanup was easy and quick. We highly recommend this product!
This is my second waffle maker over 7+ years and we love it. Got my parents on it when it was as snowvid here in Texas a few years ago. we had a house full and I made waffles and produced double the food within no time. It was a life saver on top of us already loving this product. It was the talk of the day! Nothing less than will do, that is why we bought our second one, great quality and fabulous results
Great size and functionality. Set up and clean up are super easy. It took a try or two to find the settings we liked. Making two at a time is a game changer!!
