I am a long time Cuisinart customer and the Flip Belgian Waffle Maker proves why. This product is made of high quality products with great workmanship. I'm impressed with how nice it looks sitting on my counter as well. I like that it flips while cooking to cook more evenly and also has power and light indicators to let you know when it is ready. This waffle makes the perfect 1" waffle and has 5 settings so you can get the shade just how you like it. Clean up is a breeze with this product, making it so I use it alot more often. Other waffle makers I've used in the past have been difficult to clean. All around this is a great product and is durable. I would recommend it.
