We've had this in our winter home for two years now.  Starting with the first batch through I don't know how many today, the waffles always stick.  I see from the reviews this is a common issue.  Also not terribly pleased with the temperature control.  I have to turn the temp down further on every new pour as the temperature seems to keep going up.  We've made thousands of waffles on our ancient West Bend at home  The temperature is constant and the waffles don't stick.

I do like the drip rail, the cord storage and tip up storage mode. but the basics are not there.
