Our first attempt with the Chef'sChoice Waffle Maker 840B. My wife and were very impressed. You can adjust the color, crispness etc. We used the Chef'sChoice Waffle Mix as directed. This machine makes waffles in about 90 seconds. If you put in the correct amount of batter (1/2 cup) there is no overflow on the sides. the Waffle comes right out when finished. The Waffle maker even has a ready light when the cooking is finished. Oh Yes, the real test, the taste is delicious. Just what waffle lovers are looking for. Also, the size is perfect, this waffle is on a 12 inch plate.
