I have never owned a waffle maker before this one because I have seen how messy it can be . But when I saw this Farberware Easy Pour Waffle Maker and read the reviews I decided to try it . Its makes making waffles very easy because you don't have to be the one trying to spread the batter out perfectly it does it by itself the waffles also don't get stuck and clean up is super easy as well. Waffles are now are go to sunday breakfast
