This Pizzelle Press was purchased to replace my old one (which was another brand) that quit heating.  I am very pleased with it -- heats quickly, consistent in time needed for each pizzelle, and never sticks!  Only problem we had was that the "ready" light does not appear to be accurate.  Perhaps I don't wait long enough between pizzelles but the green light that is supposed to go out and then back on when pizzelle is ready to remove did not do so consistently.  However, I did not find it difficult to get into a rhythm and know when to check for doneness.  So glad I bought this
