Basically it makes waffles. Nice design. The reversible plates are a good idea. Especially for cleaning. But since the non-waffle side(s) have raised, cast rings to contain an egg, they can’t be used for anything else. You can’t have it open and flat on the countertop to cook on both sides simultaneously. To make pancakes or cook bacon, for example. The blinking lights and dings to signal temperature are nice. They will probably be the first feature to stop working. Lightweight materials, not as heavy and substantial as the unit we replaced.
