I was pretty happy with the Oster Waffle Maker. It is small, attractive, and it gets the job done. I did read the warnings that it cannot be submerged in water, so it made it more difficult to clean since the waffle iron panels cannot be removed to be cleaned. The other issue that I had was that the batter near the handle did seem to cook as well. It was cooked so that it was edible, but the dough near the handle was noticeably lighter. Overall, it is a nice little waffle maker, but don't expect a flawless product.
