I've been using this for over 9 months and don't think it deserves a 3.5. I haven't had any major problems with it, only suggestions for better use. The darkness selector could be a little more sensitive (as it currently is, you can wiggle it back and fourth about 1 whole level and you can feel that it's not changing anything).The indicator light could be raised a bit more, so you can see it better from across a room. I know some of the more expensive waffle makers have an audible signal to indicate done, which would be nice as well, but not a necessity.[.].
I was mildly disappointed in receiving this as it was smaller than I expected. It works great - just takes two runs to make waffles for two.
Overall this is a good waffle maker for the price. Handle for slide fell off (lost) in 3 months, so we now need to do the slide by inserting a kitchen utensil. With typical waffle batter, you need to leave it on high, and let time go past the time the green light goes on. Somewhat cheaply made. Still trying to get replacement from Amazon or Cuisinart. Glue it on with super glue as soon as you purchase.
The temperature control is cheap and flimsy (I doubt that it even does anything). As others mentioned here, when the batter spills out it gets into the switch and into the giant groove. Not a good design.Waffles come out good, but it doesn't cook very evenly. If you're looking for the kind of waffle maker that will cook the perfect crispy consistently golden waffle, and will last more than 6 months, this aint the one.
I bought this product based on a fairly good review history but ended up returning it a week later. I bought this product to replace my 19 year old waffle maker, which was an Oster Designer Waffle Maker (BEST WAFFLE MAKER EVER). The waffles continually stuck to the top plate. I tried various oils and sprays with no luck. Unfortunately, Oster no longer makes this product. Needless to say, I will keep searching.
