For the price, amazing fi d. It is a bit less stable than pricier waffle makers, but just don't bang it around. It is perfect for at home use. Yes, it is big. First use, there was a bit of a smell from the anti stick coating, but only a bit and it hasn't been there during subsequent uses. There were problems with delivery, the first time, so I contacted the seller. They answered quickly, offered me a refund or to send another one, and the second time they sent it, it arrived 3 days later. Fantastic service.
