This Oster Belgian Waffle Maker is compact and stores easily with a built-in cord holder. It heats quickly and has an easy to use one knob operation to select the darkness. The waffles were cooked consistently and remained moist at any of the heat settings. The non-stick plates make it easy to remove the waffle as well as quick to clean. The green light lets you know when the desired temperature has been reached and turns on and off during the cooking cycle but there is not an alert to signal when the waffle has been cooked. I received this product as a sample to review.
