"Gets the job done."
I use it occasionally. And it gets the job done perfectly every time. Had it for about 2 yrs now.

"Waffle Perfection for $8"
I picked up this waffle maker when it was a $7.99 Amazon Friday Sale special. I must say, I am very impressed how far my eight dollars went!

The machine is simple to use. Plug it in, wait for the green light (signals that the machine is pre-heated and ready) to come on after a few minutes, pour the waffle mix onto the surface, close, and wait for the green light to come back on, open the machine back up, and you are done!

Cleanup is pretty easy since the surface is nonstick. The unit sits upright to make it easier to store. The only real complaint would be the unit takes a little while to cool down. I know, it's not much of a complaint, but I had to think of something! :)

Overall, 5 out of 5, a kitchen favorite that I'll get tons of use from.

"If my daughter can make these! !!......"
My non-cooking 22-year-old daughter was so excited when she saw this that she HAD to open the box and make bacon, eggs, sausage and waffles for DINNER!! Anyway, with no help or suggestions from me other than, "Isn't there a book in there that tells you how to do that?" ... within less than 1/2 hour, my baby son and I were enjoying the fruits of her labor. You must understand .. my daughter does NOT cook ... ever ... she doesn't know how, and has never been interested in learning how. If SHE can figure out how to make great-tasting waffles from a mix (we even used the 'just add water' mix) .. ANYONE can ... this was well worth the price, even if it's not made as heavy and durable as I like ... the fun factor is important too.

"Great waffle maker for the price"
This is a very good product for the price. I was able to get this waffle maker on sale for under $8. Throw that in with another $17 of stuff and its free shipping. What a deal.

Anyway, I was looking at this because the waffle stick feature looked very interesting. I have a (now) three year old, and was buying it primarily for her (and of course, for me too).

I used it a few times and the waffles came out okay. I think I may have made mistakes because I don't use a measuring cup. I pour the batter on and measure it by eye. And of course, that's a bad thing. Too little and the batter doesn't rise up enough to brown the other side. Too much and it comes spilling out the sides. I learned my lesson when one day I put TOO much, and it just come out and kept spilling out. So much so that it went down the back of the machine and shorted out the heating elements.

I had to disassemble the entire thing to clean it up and get it back in working order. It did give me the chance to see how it was put together. It's very simple, so I can't see why any other machine like this could cost over $50. At least, I don't see any need to buy any other machine that would cost a lot more.

So, now I measure carefully and get good waffles. The sticks appeal to my 3 year old daughter, who can hold the stick and eat away just fine. And I like it too for the bite size snacking capability.

The only thing I don't like is that unforgiving nature of the waffle maker. I suppose all waffle makers are alike in that if you don't put the right amount of batter in, you don't get good waffles. If they would add some sort of overflow protection, that would make this waffle maker perfect.

Highly recommended.
