This little appliance takes a permanent spot on our kitchen counter because it simply is an amazing little appliance. It makes perfect American style waffles every time. The recipe I had to tinker with and finally found a good tasting one. Highly recommend. It heats up really quickly and if you use a table spoon of oil in the batter, there is no need to grease the waffle iron. Super easy to use. Small enough so it doesn't take up too much space, but it's great that it can make two waffles at a time. We love this so much and highly recommend!
