Great Waffle Maker! Deep Grooves!
I slapped together a generic Waffle recipe found in an older cookbook to give this waffle-maker a try. I enjoyed it! At first, it was a little odd, because the grooves are very deep. I am used to the flatter waffles, so I was not filling the grooves in enough. Otherwise, the waffles came out great! Nice and crispy, and evenly cooked.
The only thing I think could be improved, would be a bigged ridge or edge around the waffle mold, for over-spill. You have to fill the unit up almost until spilling to get enough batter in there to fill the top half of the mold. Or, maybe my mix was not quite right, and did not rise enough.
I really enjoyed waffles from this Krups Waffle Maker. If you like to put fruits, and lots of toppings on your waffles, I would recommend this one for you, because it has deep pockets to hold lots of flavor and toppings!

the real Belgian waffle maker--Krups
Our original Krups waffle maker gave-up after many years use. Unable to find another we purchased other waffle makers claiming to be Belgian waffle makers. They were not, even the Cuisinart was not a real Belgian waffle maker although claimed such. Finally Amazon provided the True
Belgian waffle maker...a Krups! We are a happy pair once again.

inexpensive fabulous waffles
Pros: inexpensive waffle maker; waffles shaped the way Belgian waffles are shaped in Belgium; simple to use; compact upright storage; comes with recipes for waffles "from scratch"; lights work just like george foreman grill or other appliance - on when heating element is on.
Cons: hot handle (as other reviews have mentioned) - read the instruction manual for where to touch; difficult to clean, but unless your waffle maker has removable plates (you'll find these on more expensive models), that seems to be the hardest part; also, do not put syrups in the waffle maker - this makes cleaning extremely difficult!; you must learn (trial & error) the appropriate cooking time for different types and amounts of batter - more watery batters take 4.5 mins, while whole wheat batters don't take much longer than 3 mins (Aunt Jemima's mixes take about 4 teaspoonfuls per waffle at 3.5 mins cooking time).
Overall, my husband & i enjoy fresh waffles almost every weekend - I will never buy frozen again! I have yet to find a waffle recipe that closely mimics the Belgian staple, but once I do, I've got the appliance to make it!
