Works as advertised! Just set the temp and wait for the beeps. It tells you when the waffle iron is at correct temp, add correctly formulated waffle batter per instructions, then wait for it to beep when the waffle is done. Remove, reload, repeat. Simple!  Perfect waffles from the first one.  Use a wooded or other soft spatula to lift waffle off iron so you don't scratch the non-stick surface.  Clean up is super easy.  Overflow gutter is a great feature and works well to keep things clean.
