I really didn't want one of those single waffle makers.  I kept hunting until I found this one.  I was so happy to find this 4 slice waffle maker and even happier that it is made by Cuisinart!  My entire kitchen is filled with Cuisinart - toaster oven, food processor, mixer and toaster!  I have never had a bad experience with any Cuisinart product I've ever purchased.  It took a few tries to make the waffles - I've never made Belgian style waffles before, first ones came out like Swiss cheese lol.  But I soon learned how much batter to put on the squares and voila - perfect waffles.  My granddaughters got to help me with the first batch, we had so much fun and they loved the waffles!  I would highly recommend this waffle maker if you need to make a bunch of waffles and not have to wait forever to feed everyone!
