This is a great waffle maker. The biggest feature that separates it from the rest is the spout where you can pour waffle mix in to. The spout definitely works, you can use a serving spoon or waffle mix bottle to just pour the mix in, and the waffle maker will do the rest. After the waffle is done, you do get a little bit of extra bits where the spout is located, but it breaks off easily!

Apart from the spout, the waffle maker is also great at everything else, it preheats in minutes, and it does a very even job of cooking the waffle. I also liked the built in cook timer - works everytime.

Highly recommended!
