Tried this waffle maker today and I did like that it has different settings cuz my kids all like their waffles differently. I like that I can make them as soft or hard as I like. I love that it's mess free and doesnt take up as much room. Like how it stands up. My problem is getting the batter right to fill in all 4 spots . My waffles were missing little pieces here and there but overall I enjoyed using this waffle maker .
