Cheap, worked for about a year but took too long, now it sticks.
We purchased this very cheaply at Walmart for 17.00 on sale over a year ago. We have to cook gluten free so we have to have the cook setting on the maximum to get things brown. The finish has worn a bit but not a lot. It worked fine until recently when we tried to put blueberries in the batter. We always spray non stick spray at each use but now it doesn't help any. The batter now sticks to each side and it is impossible to get it loose. After three tries we have now thrown it out. I was looking at the Villaware V2002 here on Amazon and called the company to find out that they don't sell that older model and they don't stock parts for it either. So if you buy it on Amazon the one year warranty means nothing. Too bad Amazon doesn't mention this. Villa sells a newer version V2007 but it looks different. There is a three year warranty with it. With shipping and handling it is still cheaper than Amazon.

Use after Use after Use, I still have my waffles every night.
Let me start off my saying I vouch for this product, I really do. It has a couple of flaws, but let me get to that in a second. Let me acclaim it for its duties thus far.
I have used this every night for, I don't know, 6 months at least, because I eat Buckwheat waffles religiously. This waffle maker makes them the same every time, takes little time to heat up, and has not presented any CONTINUOUS problems. It is compact, attractive, hasn't tarnished or showed any signs of rust, and is very easy to clean up. I think for the value you are getting a fine product that should last you.
Now the couple of things that deplore me, although they never seem to be consistent.
1. Sometimes it doesn't reach full heat. I always have the dial turned to max, and it does have a light that goes on when it's "ready", but sometime it doesn't always tell the truth mind you, but this only happens rarely, and it always "fixes" itself.
2. Some of the Teflon has flaked off in my waffles a couple of times, which is very annoying, but like I said, has only happened a handful of times out of 200+ times, so I like the probability.
So I like it, I will continue to use it every night till it gives out, which I wouldn't object too because of how much I use it, and I certainly recommend you gives this little waffle maker a try.
