Love it! I had a flip waffle maker before and used it til it flipped out after about 6 or so years. I purchased Cuisinart so I hope I can keep it 12 yrs. They have great products! Well made, I am excited. Used it for the first time the second day I had it. Works great! Husbands recipe makes the best waffles ever. This little machine doesn't take up too much space, cleans up easy and great for a quick meal. We eat waffles many times on Sunday night after coming home from church late. It only takes a few minutes to heat up and cook. I unplug machine and wipe down the next morning.
