I needed a waffle iron and went looking for one. This one arrived very quickly and was more than I expected. I love the variable heat settings. It also opens wide enough to put the batter into it easily and safely. It is light weight and doesn’t take up a large amount of counter space. It gets really warm around the heating elements but not to injury stage. The handles are cool to work with. It is easy to clean with a nonstick surface and large lid opening. 

The only thing I would like to see changed is the static hinge go to a movable hinge. Allowing the part closest to the back to get the same time as the front of the machine to provide a more uniform heat when the batter doesn’t fit the top part. This would allow other types of batters to be utilized and cook evenly. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
