This device is the little darling of my preteens, they use it a lot for their snacks, you just find the right power. We it is used on nearly 3 for the plate 6 and when you do that sweet. The material provided (ladle, spatula, power cord and second plate) can be stored underneath. Compared to my old Tefal I just regret that there are more than two medium plate pancakes, but just one large and one with 6 small. I like the fact you can stay all around the table together. Especially we are 6 at home and because of this everyone can eat into a small waiting for the next batch fast. We have not yet the helping hands to make savory crepes made that remain in the kitchen in a large pans. As compared to our former Tefal is the power inverter.
