I love Cuisinart and have many of their products. This Waffle Maker is made very well just like the other products they make. I did not have good results with this one. The centers of my waffles kept burning. I had purchased a warranty so Wayfair gave me a store credit and i ordered the Cuisinart Flip Waffle Maker. I really feel that my original purchase with just this 1 product had a defect. And that can happen from time to time. Not alarmed because this is the 1st time i have had problems with a Cuisinart product in my 20 + years of use.
