My family loves having waffles and pancakes for breakfast but I had to get rid of my old waffle maker.  It was hard to clean.  The Cuisinart Belgian waffle maker is a great addition to making breakfast taste great and with less hassle. Love that the plates are removable and easy to wash.  Also, it is great when we travel and stay at a rental property; very compact.  Cooks the waffles and pancakes to perfection every time.
