I bought one for my wife in October 2008. She absolutely loves it...so does my daughter. They've had waffles for breakfast every day since. She mixes batter, 3 days worth at a time, using oatmeal as the base and throws in a few cranraisins. We've had family over and cooked them up a batch and they loved them - these are picky people too. I highly recommend
this product....especially with the price at amazon.

I've always loved Belgin waffles and this product makes Belgin waffles just like the restaurants. The waffle maker is easy to use and clean up is a snap.

Bought first in May,liked simple rugged design, with highest power offered, fixed baking temperature, tried it and worked fine, used Walmart Buttermilk Pancake Mix , sexed up with i egg per cup of mix, and used milk, used light spray oil seasoning prior to first waffle ,wiped excess oil with paper towel. Used time for 3 minutes as baking guide. Terrific waffles, Bought 2nd in June, had 2 going for large family gathering, used same recipe and fresh fruit topping and/or Maple syrup (warmed) as topping. Family raved over taste and quality, Meantime tested whipped egg whites alternative with Walmart Buttermilk mix several times, a winner for texture, and lightness, Topping checked included thinned Raspberry Jam as a warmed syrup, w & w/o fruit toppings. Bought 4 more for Family for Christmas. Checked almost every brand offered, most were cheaply made and had more hinges/handle locks, or spindly supports, plastic covered bases, or controls to be damaged to go wrong, or their power(wattage) was lower. Need folks to publicize their alternative proven recipes for our Presto Waffler's! Plan to try Cornbread mix waffles offered by a reviewer.

Also ordered Golden Malted Pancake & Waffle Flour and have been very happy with the results. Only brushed on a light coating of cooking oil one time and have not had any sticking. If you put blueberry's in the batter you will need to do a little extra cleaning to get that off the griddle plates but otherwise cleanup is as easy as brushing off the crumbs.

The timer is just a timer and has nothing to do with flipping the griddle but it works fine and is very easy to set. The only thing I would change is make the timer so it signals you about half way trough so you know when to flip it the second time (I like to flip it twice to make a waffle with no hole through them.

I was looking for a waffle maker that flipped over, but one that wasn't bulky or difficult to store. The Presto FlipSide seemed to fit both objectives. I tried the Waffle Maker with standard batter, the first attempts made me realize I wasn't putting enough batter onto the plates. It requires a full cup of batter, strangely enough that is what the directions called for, to make a good waffle. I have used a cornmeal muffing mix on the FlipSide and they turned out great. The timer made it easy to keep track of the cooking time. I also found it easy to clean and very easy to store on any shelf. Very happy with the product
