We bought this waffle maker for our daycare. Unfortunately it smelled very long after chemistry and so then the waffles tasted. Personally, I like Waffle heart better than this half-round / square giant waffles .. It is difficult to dose the right amount, because often a lot of dough on the side runs out or too little dough there is to fill the waffle iron. I would buy it again under any circumstances. 2 stars: It works -noch- 1 star: It smelled long Chemicals 1 star: baking rather long, difficult
