We were super excited to be able to make waffles and this is definitely the best waffle maker! It doesn't take forever to make a waffle (under 3 minutes roughly), and the waffles slide right out when done if they are cooked fully! The waffle maker flips over and has an indicator light to let you know when they are done too. I love it has a drip tray for underneath it and it's easy to wash and keeps my mess contained! This is definitely the most used small appliance in our house and everyone wants to make waffles!
