Pretty good waffle maker. Not quite as good as my old one that wore out but probably cost less than half what the old one cost. To get nicely browned waffles had to set it on 4. So there is still one higher setting if needed. Made chicken and waffles 1st night and everyone really liked them. Hinge is wobbly but works. Latch to lock the maker closed let loose when I lifted it to put away and I caught it just in time before the section banged into the counter, suggest  you be careful with that. Comes with some interesting waffle recipes that I will be trying. All in all I like it.
