I love this waffle maker. I was in the market for a new waffle maker since my old one bit the dust.  I wanted one that was square that made four sections.  Due to the high ratings of this waffle maker on other sites, and the reliability and sturdiness of Cuisinart products, I bought this product. I don’t regret it at all. It also stands upright AND the best part is the plates are removeable and DISHWASHER SAFE!  Yay. Cleanup is a breeze.
