This waffle maker is so easy to use! It comes with a plate to catch drips and spills that make clean up so much easier. The instructions are easy to follow and after one try you’ll be a pro. In the past I’ve used a regular waffle maker and one side would always look different. This flip design allows both sides to cook evenly and come out perfect. The maker itself isn’t too heavy or bulky. It’s easy to move around and store. 10/10 waffle maker!
