Waffle iron was delivered in time for Christmas - so we could try the same on holidays. How have already written other buyers, the waffle iron smell during initial commissioning. We had at the beginning and sometimes heard in between baking a plastic / new smell. That water accumulates under the waffle maker, I can not confirm. However, the cable is too short - the waffle iron of a famous German coffee consignor / seller fast I know that not so. Otherwise, we were satisfied by the result. The waffle maker had not be greased and the waffles were be removed easily.
