Being able to make two waffles at the same time is amazing for a family of 5. Our kids love making waffles on the weekend, and we usually make them on the weekend because their so time-consuming. We'll probably still make them on the weekend but now everyone can actually have waffles at the same time. I was able to make 6 huge waffles in about 10 minutes. I wouldn't say this is the most high-quality piece of kitchen equipment, but we only use it once in a while. The temp gauge feels light but it does produce accurate results. The Drip tray works really well too. I did have any problems with batter leaking when flipping it. Flipping it works as you'd expect. This was a lot of fun.
