Bought myself for the first time a double waffle maker and have therefore no comparison. But I'm very happy with this. I do not necessarily Herzchenwaffeln can, except the size notice no difference. The time needed until the waffle is done is great. It has two sets of twins. For me, also very important, it is much (!) Better to keep it clean. Even after repeated use. It still looks like new !!! Conclusion: I would buy it again.
