It is reliable, I can set my kitchen timer for 4 minutes and my waffles will be done. I've used a number of different waffles mixes including whole grain and multigrain waffle mix from Arrowhead Mills and the Carbon's Golden Malted waffle mix. I know they will make delicious waffles.Pro: Good price. I like this waffle iron so much I am debating getting several more for Christmas gifts. Because the iron is hinged it allows the waffle to rise as it bakes. The tab locks in place for storing.
I don't advise using the handles they get hot. (It seems intuitive to me to use the tab but I have seen criticism concerning the handles). I've owned this waffle iron for several years and use it weekly, it has had a lot of use over that time period. Makes 4 quarters at a time. If it does, it isn't that hard to clean up but if it runs down the back of the iron that is a little more tedious to clean up. I never have to change a setting, they always bake perfectly. Con: Can run over if over filled.
I use slightly under 1/2 a cup of mix for each of the 4 waffles. Use the front tab to open and remove the waffle. Dependable. I use a slight amount of spray oil from time to time but it really doesn't need much. Use a little less mix and let the lid spread it for each waffle and it shouldn't run over. Easily stores standing up in the cupboard. Handles get hot, use the locking tab to open.
I believe it has a faulty safety. The first just died, no lights nothing.
The first lasted almost three years the second one about a year. This is the second one I've owned.
The biggest issue is reliability. They make fine waffles, however there is no timer or browning settings.
If you over add the recipe, it will make a mess. This one the lights come on but it no longer heats.
I never immersed them just wiped them down.
