I am very pleased with the iron. My skepticism by some reviews here have vanished. The tanning is actually shaded rather something, but I attribute this to the dough. The waffles are in any case always evenly through the shading and never comes out in the same pattern, so I can not blame this situation on the iron. Heating This happens in a timely manner and the baking time I find short. The optical message "finished" On cessation of light is really tailored to the finished baking results. Any time.
