Got mine about a month ago and I'm very pleased.  Very easy to use and clean up is  normally a breeze! (More on that in a moment) The first time using my waffle maker I followed the directions &  measured everything out. Perfect waffles using about 2/3 of a cup of batter.  The next morning I thought, no problem, I've got this and didn't measure the amount of batter I was using.  Didn't go well as batter leaked out from the
sides.  Since then I've been more careful.  I'm reluctant to use any aerosol cooking sprays as they can eventually cause foods to stick.  So far I haven't had to as the waffles release easily every time.  Perfect waffles in only 5 minutes - Love it!
