I would give this 3.5 stars ... but not an option. Glad I bought it, but not sure how long it will last.The GOOD:It makes regular waffles and asian bubble waffles. It does both well. I haven't tested the omelette plates. It's a decent price for a 2 waffle makers in 1. Could be a 5-star product except for the design flaws. I'm using it 3-4 times per week for about 2 weeks so far. There's no temperature control or "done" light ... but this doesn't bother me. Chemical smell first couple of uses ... I made sure the windows were open. Now it's gone and it wasn't that extreme anyway. I've cooked delicious waffles, both belgian and asian bubble, on it.Happy with the unit and recommend except for the following:The BAD:If you're buying a 3-in-1 to save space ... meh. You have to store it flat. They could have done something clever like store the extra plates in the base ... but no. You have to store the waffle maker and then find someplace to store the 2 sets of extra plates.Removable plates make cleaning easy ... except that if you have a batter overflow situation (which you will eventually. It's inevitable) the batter gets stuck in nooks and crannies that are impossible to clean ... even when you remove the plates ... thus defeating the whole idea of removable plates as a cleaning feature. Really, the removable plates exist only so you can swap them between regular/bubble/omelette. Sooner or later this waffle maker will be as disgusting as any other that has old batter stuck in nooks and crannies. Eventually I will immerse the whole thing in water and scrub it with a brush. And see if it survives. My old waffle maker actually survived this treatment for 15 years. But yeah, you're not supposed to do this to electrical devices.It's generally a bit flimsy ... but at $60 price point I wasn't expecting heirloom quality. I recommend it if you can live with its flaws.It’s not the greatest, but for about $60 bucks, you get three different irons plates. I wanted the bubble waffle iron since I already had a Belgium waffle iron, but may replace that one with this unit. There’s no heat control, but you need to watch that it won’t burn anyway, so no biggie. It’s really neat! The plates pop out so you can clean them separately, which is really convenient. I actually had this replaced because the first one’s plastic base cracked upon arrival. So that goes to show how delicate/flimsy the gadget is, so I just have to be careful with it. If I wanted a beastly machine, I could have paid for those $200 ones. But nah, this does the job at a fraction of the price. If you enjoy eating a lot of waffles, this is a decent one to buy.Loves that the plates are detachable. It does make for easier cleaning. I’ve only used the regular waffle and the egg waffle plates and love it. For sure you need to grease them before you put in your batter definitely not completely non stick without it.Love the different plates and it is easy to clean. Wish it had a light to let me know when to flip it over.This waffle maker is okay. The plates fit a little loose so I'm always worried the top one will fall out. Also, I haven't figured out exactly how much batter to put in the maker so it always overflows and makes a huge mess and is hard to clean up! But it's nice to be able to make waffle because the kids like them.It’s so easy to cleanWish the cookbook included had better instructions for making an omlet. Never added flour to eggs before to make an omlet.I Was Alittle Iffy At First But Let Me Tell You This is It !!! This waffle maker is so Awsome !!
