Horrible POS-- gave 1 star because the review would not take none As a long-time waffle maker, I thought I'd splurge on a nice, if somewhat expensive Belgian waffle maker. It is the worst product I have ever used. At least in the small applicance category. It is going in the trash today. It has a nagging tendency to stick, no-stick surfaces notwithstanding. It has a flimsy metal clip that is supposed to keep the swivel mechanism locked in place. It broke on the third use. Sine then, it will not stay upright when you turn it to extract the waffle. Extract is the right word, too, since I have to peel one half off, try to get the other, then reassemble on a plate. Dreadful, terrible, awful. Now for how I really feel......
