Positives:
It bakes lovely waffles in standard size. Plugging, wait for about 40sec and it's hot. I stand there on the stage 3.5 and am very happy with the results. The non-stick coating is super! I fat it an always before first waffle and then you can bake by 20-30 Waffles regrease.
Negatives:
The metal housing is very rough, almost like a nail file, easily scratched (you scratch off the silver coating and then there dark gray scratch) and difficult to clean. I would rather recommend the black or white.
As a batter I use: 250g flour, 150g sugar, 100g butter, 250ml milk, 3 eggs, 1 pack of vanilla sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder.. Who much powdered sugar on it makes should make less sugar in the dough.
Update:
After more than a year still fully satisfied.
Meanwhile I use the waffle iron at level 5. The waffles need then about 40sec. This timer can be easily let the phone ring all 40sec per one-button operation: TFA 38.2013 Electronic Timer
