I had to replace my waffle ... who had no age ... In "searching" on the net I found pretty new ... but that makes waffles that size, I don ' have found it !!! It is very modern with beeps that tells you its good work. To return take a pot holder to protect the steam .... it is indicated on the note ... I did not read it, too bad for me, I felt the vapeur..c'est hot !!!! If not to the carnival, sugar, jam, with whipped cream !!! You will not regret your purchase that you made more delicious croque monsieur ... the plates are there for. A big plus plates are removable and go in the dishwasher !!!! Enjoy your meal !!!!!!
