Question: How long have you had this unit and how often do you use it?Checking the longevity.
Document: We had waffle makers before, but they didn't last long, they tended to stick after a while.The maker has a ready light and a temperature setting.It can flip real easy and has a ready light on the other side as well.Underneath is a removable tray to catch spillovers.Adding some starch to the recipe will improve the crispness.Use a little bit of (olive) oil on both sides.Above all it makes great crisp big waffles,
After that, you should be fine and the ceramic coating should not continue to release chemicals.Also, keep an eye on it when you are using it and have it plugged in, and be sure to unplug it after use.While there is room for improvement (like a tone when it's ready instead of just a light and better thermal protection), I still think this unit is worth 5 stars given the price and the DuraCeramic coating.
The last time we made waffles was back in the 80's. We had this old Hamilton Beach Teflon coated monstrosity that actually did ok as far as making edible waffles went. When you have a good recipe for waffles, the apparatus for cooking them really doesn't have to be all that sophisticated... they've been making waffles as we understand them since the 14th century after all.What I love about this unit is its ease of use. The ceramic coating works great.
I have a GE waffle maker that makes the standard smaller hole waffles. It does not have a temperature setting, so it is hard for me to make crispy ones. This unit has a dial right on the unit to let you set how well done you want your waffle. I crank it all the way to high and get a nice crispy one that stays crispy with butter and syrup(for a while at least). It's easy to use and the nonstick really is nonstick.
i had the pleasure of recieving this waffle maker to sample and review so came in with zero expectations but it was so much better than i ever expected the instructions were  clear and easy to follow , the waffles were baked to perfection i had no trouble removing  the waffles or cleaning the waffle maker after use just a quick wipe and i was done . The kids LOVED the waffles and ill definetely be making waffles alot more often in the future highly recommended ! !
They don't come on and go off at the appropriate times. You pretty much have to get a feel for how long you want your waffles to cook, and check them for doneness.Cleaning this waffle maker is not difficult, but neither is it as easy as they make it sound. You're supposed to just wipe it clean, but it can be difficult to get all the browned bits out of the deep grooves.I do really like the non-stick feature of this product.
I make homemade waffles from scratch once a week and we've been very displeased with our current waffle maker. It leaves the waffles thin and crispy and it's always hard to cook them long enough without being too long. This waffle maker was amazing, and although it takes more batter, it makes them so thick and plump. I literally had one waffle instead of 3-4 of my other kinds because it's that big and nice. No complications or hassle when setting up and using to make waffles for 6 people.
I haven't had any stink with my unit when cooking foods, and couldn't be happier with it's performance.In short, love this little guy. It does the job, heats fast, cleans fast, and nothing sticks, even when not using cooking sprays. Totally recommend this! !
Making waffles is such an ordeal anyway, that you have to know this is not a shortcut to a quicky breakfast. The heated panels that cook the waffles are not removable, so it must be stored as a unit. I had no dripping of batter to clean up, but it seems designed to keep dripping to a minimum. Final verdict from all who ate was that the waffles were superior to any I have ever produced.
No breakage... the waffle was completely intact and only a little singed on the top where it stuck to the plate while I figured out what to do and found a fork.The spill plate is a nice touch, but wholly unnecessary.Cleaning the unit can be unwieldy... I find using a bottle brush with aggressive bristles and lots of hot soapy water works best.
Answer: We used our waffle maker for seven months, about 1-2 times per week.  I am disappointed with the short life, but the unit worked great for the time used.
