I bought the machine, I really super find the possibility of herausnehmenbaren plates and find that this facilitates cleaning. Among the plates heating coils are installed, which are easy to clean. The panels themselves are dishwasher safe. A blessing! The panels extend right and left out some of the closed device. Many find that this is a danger of burning yourself. It was built, however, as to remove the panels easier, and that's what works great. The device itself can be set on edge (and the cable winding) and thus space-saving storage. The sandwiches and waffles, made with the device, are very tasty. The warm-up time I feel to be appropriate. A red light indicates the operating, a green signaling that the operating temperature is facilitated. The heat setting or even the time is not adjustable. But unfortunately has not survived in the unit long. Even during the first use for sandwiches but not the handle is broken off with me, but the plastic part where the handle locks. Such a site could have been better equipped with aluminum.
