Got it for a Christmas gift.  I've used it now 4 or 5 times.  It's been great in every way.  It heats up reasonably quick, the non-stick griddle surfaces do just that; the flip feature works like a charm and the feature I love the most is the light that goes on to let you know when the waffle is ready!... not sure if it is supposed to do that but I find it works out that way for my waffles.  The design of the waffle iron itself makes sure no residue builds up in hard-to-reach places, like in a hinged waffle iron. 
The drip pan is quite useful as some of the grooves underneath are challenging to clean if you don't use it and batter drips on them.
