Very easy to use and to clean. The waffle blocks come out perfectly and slide out easily no matter which waffle mix I use. I use a little cooking spray on the irons as the directions call for. Two safety things that could be improved: Please make a PFOA/PTFE-free version— I have pet birds and this is a definite NO to use in the house!— so I have to take the waffle-maker outside to bake with. Also a rubber handle on the lid would make this much safer and easier to use.Made great waffles, but screw fell out when cleaningkids love it easy to useI gave this is a gift to my brother so he could use it with his kids when they came to visit. The kids loved the waffle maker and were able to make two houses. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars was that he went through a whole box of waffle mix for two kids. You need a lot of mixed make enough bricks to have a house. That’s a little misleading from the pictures. Not misleading but you don’t really understand how much you mix it’s gonna take to make the pictures easy.My kids loved playing with The Lego style waffles. I had no problem cleaning. When cooking waffles did not stick to the waffle maker. Very easy to use. Very easy to clean. Big thumbs up. We'll probably buy another one for a gift.Purchased this for one of those family members who is always hard to buy for. What a great surprise! They used it to make a family breakfast and sent funny lego waffle pictures. Looks like it worked perfectly, they had great fun, and I loved the follow-up texts. I purchased the waffle maker but made it into an experience kit with the waffle mix so they had everything needed.This waffle maker is amazing once you get the hang of putting the batter in. Super nonstick. The waffles slide right out. Very cute. The kids love it. Easy clean up.I’m 25, but my friends and I had a ton of fun building things with our waffle legos lol
