The use of this waffle iron is at least the first few times no pleasure, unless it has a gas mask, the open kitchen window is not enough to let the acrid chemical smell from the kitchen. In the manual it is recommended to discard the first two waffles, I have also made the next two times where the waffle iron was used. That stench is really an absolute no-go, and should be resolved urgently by the manufacturer. Why still 3 stars? The stepless tan-control ensures superb results, the waffles are baked evenly brown and beautiful. All in all a good article, only the stench is really bad.
