I received my merchandise in a very timely manner. Makes the best ever waffles and the price was right.


2 out of 5 stars Wonderful wafles, horrible design   November 26, 2007
Shortybiscuit (Brooklyn, NY United States)
I bought this waffle maker a few years ago. Now, I have to say...it works like a dream. I did not have the problem with the handle getting hot. My problem is the cleanup. It is a NIGHTMARE to clean. Even though it is non-stick, it seems to get entirely too greasy to wipe off. I had to let is almost soak...then use the spray in the kitchen sink at odd angles as to not get the inside where the wires are wet somehow.

I would not recommend that you buy this product, if you are at all concerned about getting it clean after each use. I absolutely loved the waffles that it produced, but it was not worth the cleanup.



3 out of 5 stars great waffles, hard to clean   October 28, 2007

This machine makes fabulous waffles, especially compared with our vintage 1960's waffle maker. However it is difficult to clean, as the grids don't come out, and there are small grooves along the sides for batter to get trapped in. If you can deal with that then go for it.

I purchased this for my daughter and she was so pleased with the quality, size and easy of use for this product. She has thanked me many times for this gift. I would recommend this to everyone.


5 out of 5 stars Makes Excellent Waffles if Used Properly   August 13, 2007

I was a little worried about purchasing this waffle maker based on a few of the previous reviews, but in my experience it makes great waffles and cleans up very easily. After reading the instructions carefully, it's clear that some of the reviewers misinterpreted the functions of the two lights on the waffle maker. Keep the following in mind and you should be able to make excellent waffles every time:

1. The machine must be preheated until the green light turns off, which tells you that it has reached the correct temperature for cooking.

2. It should then be lightly sprayed, top and bottom, with a cooking oil spray.

3. Add a bit less than 1/2 cup of waffle mix to each section of the waffle maker. Be careful not to overfill - if the batter runs over the sides, this will make it more difficult to clean. A slight run over shouldn't be a problem, though, as it will come off when the waffle is removed after cooking.

4. After filling all the bins, close the waffle maker (do NOT latch the cover down!) and cook for 4:00 minutes (you can go over this by a few seconds for crispier waffles). Do not pay any attention to the lights while cooking - they have nothing to do with cooking time. One simply tells you that the power is on, and the other shows you when the cooking element cycles on and off to maintain temperature. (Yes, I agree that the lights are not very useful at this point.) Just use an accurate timer.

5. Open the lid (I use the latch to avoid touching the handle, which does get somewhat hot, but not to the point of burning in my experience) and use a plastic spatula to remove the waffles.

I also suggest using a quality Belgian waffle mix such as Krusteaz to make waffles as good as any restaurant waffles.
