I got the Cuisinart 4-Slice Belgian Waffle Maker about a month ago. So far, it performs fine without any problems. The one slice of waffle out of the four pieces is huge enough for one person. 
The waffle is very simple to use. Turn it on to preheat. Once it beeps, then it's ready to use. Pour in the batter and set the setting to your personal preference. The waffle beeps loudly when it's done. 
So far so good. Knock on wood.
