Honestly, it’s true that this waffle iron is not as big as it first seems in the picture. I was surprised when I opened the box. But that doesn’t take away from the waffles it produces. and the real secret is in what I didn’t know it would do. You can reverse the waffle iron non-stick sides, and turn it into a Griddle, or even better a sandwich cooker. The hinge of the waffle iron can lift up and it can perfectly toast a good sized sandwich, which makes it a good multi-use device. As has been said in previous reviews, it is not that large and the waffle portion is not that deep, but if you are looking for a good consolidating waffle iron, this is an excellent tool. If you’re looking for an exclusive, supreme waffle iron, look elsewhere.

I bought this to replace a smaller Cuisinart waffle iron that conked out after at least six or eight years.
This uses almost one cup of batter to make four 4″ x 4″ waffles. Because of the size, it goes through a batch of batter pretty quickly.
The iron has a control knob that sets temperatures and levels of waffle doneness. It works pretty well. I noticed no uneven heating, but I always give the iron several minutes to warm up. I make an entire batch of waffles and freeze most of them.
The waffle grids are Teflon-coated and the non-stick surface works fine as long as your batter has enough butter or other shortening and/or you grease the grid when you start. I was alerted by other reviews to exercise care in pouring the batter. I find an amount just shy of a cup (probably more than 7/8 cup) fills the four sections, resulting in no overflow. What little overflow I had during practice cleaned up easily.
The plates can be flipped to make a griddle, but I doubt I’ll have occassion to use that feature. I think I noticed a couple of reviews which knocked the hinges. They are not substantial, but seem perfectly adequate for the job they need to perform.
In summary, this is a large waffle iron which functions well. It’s a simple device that works well.

Too expensive for the construction. Unable to create a good waffle due to the thinnest of the waffle plate indentations. I will keep trying to succede.
