I have been using this Dash waffle maker for a few weeks and I use it almost daily. It is simple to use and heats up pretty quickly. It does not have an on/off switch and starts heating as soon as it is plugged in to power. I would prefer it to have a switch for child safety. It is totally non stick and I have  never had an issue with anything sticking to it and I do not just make waffles in it. I have found many recipes for so many things and it does not disappoint at all. Performance is great and everything is always thoroughly cooked. I do believe the flip option helps with the cooking, I will probably  never go back to a conventional waffle maker. It is easy to wipe clean and stores easily with a locking handle. Even tho it feels flimsy with a thin plastic shell, it’s pretty durable.
