Based on the only 2 reviews available at the time, I was willing to take a chance due to the price. Unfortunately, the second reviewer was more closely accurate to my experience. We tried this waffle maker on 3 separate occasions and each time the waffles were cooked in the center but uncooked at the edges. Uneven cooking is the major complaint but expectations are that evenly cooked waffles is the prime job of a waffle maker. Bells and whistles mean nothing if the waffles are badly prepared. The best I can say is that after 3 uses they released fine...no sticking...but what they released was inedible at best. Turns out the heating element is very small and heat doesn't conduct through the thin aluminum casting. It heats only the area covered by the element. Needs a larger element or better conductors. I'm scrapping it for a much pricier model...Calphalon No-Peek Waffle Maker...also available on Amazon. We've only used it once but OMG...it's incredible. After a few more uses, I'll be willing to review it.

The waffle maker is unforgiving when it comes to the amount batter you put in. Too much and it's making a mess, too little and there are gaping holes in the waffles.
Also, the machine has hot spots. Each side of the waffle maker has a spot where the waffles start to burn before the edges are fully cooked.
I've used this waffle maker four times now and tried two different waffle batter recipes. They were "okay" at best. Better than frozen waffles from the grocery store, but nowhere near the restaurant-quality I was hoping for.
Best Deals on MaxiMatic EWM-9008K Elite Cuisine Waffle Maker with Non-Stick, White
I generally don't purchase "one function only" appliances, as they inevitably end up in my appliance graveyard. However, it seemed like a fun holiday activity for the children and their cousins so I risked the ten bucks and bought it. Technically, it performed the basic task of making waffles, but the heating is very uneven so if we wished to avoid burnt middles, we ended up with the doughey corner that had to be discarded. If you add enough batter to prevent holes, it overflows onto the counter. In short, the kids had fun with the waffles, they put blueberries in the holes, so it was probably worth the effort. Unfortunately, the iron probably will not even merit a stop at the appliance grave yard.

My husband bought this for me for Christmas and if I hadn't threw away the box, I would have returned it. It does not brown the waffles evenly and I broke the little (plastic) latch the first time I used it. Terrible product!!

This is a terrible product!!! Yes, the price is nice but if you use it often it will not last long. It does not cook evenly, can be very messy if you use just a little too much batter, and eventually will start smelling like chemical when you use it. That's what made me toss it in the garbage. The only bonus to this waffle iron was it made perfect size waffles for my toaster so I could make large batches and freeze them for a quick breakfast.
