I have enjoyed my original Toastmaster Waffle Iron for years, but it was time for a new Waffle Maker. The Black & Decker model G48TD looked like the perfect replacement. Unfortunately, this was not the case. My new Waffle Maker is a low cost copy of the original with many concerns. The top and bottom plates did not match up because the frame was twisted. I had to bend it back into alignment. When opening the Waffle Maker it would tip backwards, so the batter flowed off the back side of the grid plate. I used shims to adjust the rear support 1/16" to correct this problem. The non-stick surface had only one small nick as it came out of the box. After oiling the non stick surface with a soft brush and using a paper towel to wipe off any excess oil there now are multiple places where the non stick coating has come off. Finally, the control knob for selecting the heat setting is very flimsy and seems as if it will not last very long before breaking. Big Disappointment!!!
