I've been looking for a good waffle maker for awhile.  I came across the Cuisinart youtube video for this product and saw that it came with waffle plates and pancake plates. I have numerous Cuisinart products and I love them all, so I figured this would be a good purchase.  And yes it was! I love this thing to death.  I thought I was just gonna use it for waffles and pancakes, but its' so much more than that. I make sandwiches on it, eggs and breakfast sausages.  This is a mini power house.
