I bought this to do pizelles for a wedding. So the pressure was on me to do a good job. This maker is the worst product ever. Did not heat evenly. Couldn't get the waffles crisp without getting too brown. So as they cooled, they got soft & soggy. Lid wobbled and did seal correctly. Telfon wore off grill after making a few dozen waffles. I paid extra for next day delivery - ordered on a Friday and recieved on a Tuesday. So much for next day! As a side note, I bought another one from Amazon and it quit heating after I did 4 waffles. So it was returned to Amazon.  They didn't have any more, so I turned to Wayfair to get a replacement ASAP because I had a deadline to get them made. Major lesson learnt - 0 for 2 + terrible pizelle maker
