Had my eye on this before I purchased another brand that "flips" w/ removable plates, didn't like that it only made one round waffle in four sections and how it wasn't storage friendly.
THIS waffle maker however is FANTASTIC!!!! The first use I used veg. spray on the plates, but I found that you don't need to, for now anyway.
As long as the plates hold up and don't have any unforeseen issues I highly recommend this waffle maker to anyone who loves waffles!!
