This waffle maker has honestly been a game changer. I hate the mess of making waffles when trying to pour the batter on the iron evenly. This waffle maker has none of these issues. It’s super simple to pour the batter into the spout and cook my waffles with significantly less mess. Cook time is super reasonable (I definitely think it cooks faster than normal waffle makers!) and all over my waffles have come out cooked evenly, NOT burned, and come off the machine evenly with no sticking food left behind. I will definitely continue to recommend this waffle maker to everyone!
