I purchased the waffle maker for our winter condo because of its space-saving feature, unlike those waffle makers that you have to turn over or flip.  The size is perfecet and fits nicely on the shelf.  I am satisfied with the way it makes waffles.  I don't make the batter from scratch and with the packaged mix, I found I had to increase the milk and melted butter to get the best results.  Easy clean-up, too.
