The size is perfect and it is very easy to use. I have made traditional waffles, waffles with blueberries, with chocolate chips (grandkids in town) and Chaffles (egg, herbs and spices, I don't do cheese) in it now and they all turned out great. No temperature control but none needed. Use a timer, don't overcook it. Clean up was a breeze until I tried bacon in it from online waffle iron tips. Won't do that again. For the money, I'm happy with my purchase.Great value. Enjoying the waffles.I was somewhat disappointed in this unit and would not recommend buying it. It made holes right through the waffle and the waffles were not evenly cooked or nice looking. Also, some other units of this type have better settings, even timers to let you know when it is done. The instructions simply said, "four or five minutes or until the steam is less". Only a red and green light but the light was still on when the waffle was more than done. This required me to watch carefully. For the cost of this unit you can do a lot better with other models. I returned it to AmazonNoneI really liked the size and ease to store when not in use. Found it very difficult to find correct amount of batter to use without making a mess and having holes in the waffles. Temp is uneven and partially burned and uncooked sections. Returned it.Hard to clean, dos not cook evenly.You can not make a big and fluffy waffles. If u put too much it overflow and it is the hardest thing to clean up so don't even buy itThis waffle maker makes much crisper waffles than the department store waffle maker we got on our wedding registry. Plus, it makes very large waffles, so you spend less time making the waffles. There is no timer, so you have to track time separately, which is a bit of a pain. And there is no custom setting, so it’s on or off. But again, the results are very good so there’s really no need for a customized temperature setting. There are some crevices around the lid handle that are tricky to clean, but do-able with a smaller brush that gets in crevices, which we already had for cleaning parts of coffee mug lids. Would buy again.
