It is nice being able to produce two at a time, freezing the extras for toaster heating later. The sides are coded by both a light and a tone to let you know which side is ready to remove. The measuring cup is EXACTLY the right amount to fill without overflowing. Very pleased with this waffle maker.
I really enjoy using this waffle maker. The recipes that come with it are also great, and cleaning it is really easy as well. My only complaint is that the green "ready" light can be hard to read sometimes, especially if there is bright light nearby. Otherwise it's an excellent product!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This waffle maker is next level in the waffle making world, and I love it. Being a mom, making waffles isn't my favorite because you go one by one and they take forever. Having a double speeds it all up, and I'm sending out a plate with each batch. They are cooked evenly in this, and my favorite feature is the adjustment to choose the crispness level with each round. Clean up is easy, and because of all these great features I'm much more likely to pull this out of the cabinet on Saturday mornings!
I bought a cast iron waffle maker hoping to love it and not wanting an extra one-use appliance. Alas, it was a pain to use and made mediocre waffles. But, since we like waffles, and the reviews for this waffle maker were SO positive, and I have had good luck with Cuisinart appliances in the past, I broke down and bought this appliance. I'm not sorry. It makes awesome waffles, is a well thought out design, and was reasonably priced. Worth the space it takes up in my cabinet.
