This is by far my favorite waffle maker ever.  It's design uses less space, but gives you the full size Belgian waffle you're looking for.  It comes with a measuring cup that is made to fill the waffle maker.  After putting the batter in just wait until the light turns green and pop the waffle maker open.  Clean up is a breeze, just wipe down.  I love that this design doesn't create a bunch of batter on my counter as I'm making them. With it's upright design there are no spills.  Love it!
