I think my husband was more excited than my daughter to get a waffle maker! We love pancakes on the weekend so we wanted to expand our horizons and mess around with a waffle maker.  This waffle maker has a very easy set up with easy to read instructions.  It is very easy to operate as well.  We just followed the past instructions and had no issues. The waffle maker was also extremely easy to clean as well. It does not take long to heat up and the lights simply indicate when it is time to add the batter. My family really enjoys using this waffle maker.
