I knew that this product was slightly difficult to clean before I purchased, but decided to purchase anyway. Definitely not a deal breaker, unless one really detests cleaning.In any case, the waffle maker makes great waffles. The locking mechanism for the two sides could be a bit beefier, but does it's job. The price was right and the waffles are great. No regrets, would purchase again.This waffle maker is constructed using very cheap plastic that easily snapped at the point where it flips. Very poor materials and construction. One of the deciding factors in my purchase was that a friend of mine has had a Toastmaster waffle maker from the late 80's or early 90's that's still going strong. Clearly this is another product whose brand has been severely degraded.The lock doesn't always work.Brought for are RV because light weight but very cheapLike the size it doesn't take up much room. Used it to make my plant base pancake mix. Came out good but just be mindful of the amount you pour in pan. If you pour to much it leaks out and then you have a big mess. A little messy to clean. I use dry paper to first and then a damp clothIts perfect! Easy to use and sturdy. The nonstick skillet makes clean up that much easier. A little cooking spray and batter and you're good to go!Makes great waffles. Be sure not to fill to much because it will pour out the sides.Great little waffle maker. I’ve used it twice so far. If the waffles aren’t crispy enough throw them in the toaster, but I left them in the waffle iron a little longer and I felt they were done just right. Glad I bought this.Excelente waflera flip. Los wafles quedan muy estéticos y de tamaño grande. Se hacen muy rápido solo estar pendiente de estar girando cada 2 min para que la mezcla se extienda de manera correcta por ambos lados. En menos de 7 min ya tienes un Wafle listoLlego en tiempo y en buen estado, funciona excelente, los waffles quedan doraditos por fuera y se cocinan a la perfeccion por dentro, solo hay que dejarlos por dos ciclos (la luz roja que incluye debe encender y apagarse dos veces) o tres de otro modo no quedan tan dorados.I use it for waffles.Does everything a flip waffle maker should. Yum.We love this unit easy to use and clean
