I like the convenience of having this electric waffle maker. No need to start up your stove for the older style, and easy enough to use to make some waffles in no time! Directions are clear, there is no assembly required, and it works well enough.
The only drawback is that while it makes waffles toasty brown, it doesn't make them crispy, so it requires me to cook them 3-4x longer to put some good crisp on them. 
And clean up a little annoying since you have to wipe deep in those crevices and the iron/cooking surface does not dissassemble easily for cleaning.
