Affected by the (positive) recessions for this waffle iron and the good price / performance ratio I have bestellt.Schnelle delivery and good packaging give me the first star. The first start-up was as expected, low smoke at acceptable smell (extractor on the highest setting and window open) -When first use is just so! After that no problems arise the second star. In the meantime I have tried 4 different waffle recipes and all are delicious geworden.Das iron Preheat at level 5 and bake with stage 2/3 give a beautiful golden brown color and made waffles, a matter of Übung.Dafür there is the third star. Cleaning is easy and without any problems, gives star point 4. The star number 5 is the compact design and the practical cable rewind, although there are slight compromise for the heating of the device, because the handles are hot despite isolation / heiß.Es is thus quite use advised potholder or a tea towel, I see but not so large as Problem.Es are enough (expensive) pots get the hot handles although that should not be ... My conclusion: I would buy again at any time this waffle iron !!!!!!!!!!
