I've put off replacing an old waffle iron that was supposedly non-stick but definately wasn't. This machine made some really great waffles - crisp but not overly crisp.  And it heated up and cooked the batter quickly (important when you've got some hungry folk demanding breakfast). Try some of these homemade waffles with butter and sweet-hot pepper jam for a real treat. Or try adding a bit of sugar and apple pie space to the batter for an easy dessert - serve with applesauce and maybe a bit of boiled cider.  I do wish it had an on/off switch, though.
