GreenPan Elite 4 square Belgian and classic waffle iron, healthy ceramic nonstick aluminum dishwasher safe plates, adjustable shade/crunch control, will not overflow,

Awesome and easy to clean. Five stars out of five stars.

This waffle maker was a total hit for our Easter brunch! We hosted a large group, and it kept up effortlessly making plenty of waffles quickly and consistently. It’s super easy to use, every waffle came out perfect, and cleanup was a breeze. Highly recommend! Several of our guests were so impressed they’re now buying one too!

We are waffle fanatics in this house and have been through SO many waffle irons looking for a quality one that would last. This is the one! Totally worth the high price. The plates seem like they will last, clean up is easy, and the waffle iron produces crisp, evenly brown waffles that taste amazing.

Initially so happy to have found a waffle iron with removable plates, without poisonous anti-stick stuff, but ceramic coating instead, for "classic" (not so deep as Belgian) waffles. I bought several other ceramic waffle irons in the past, but none worked really well. This one worked great! Until... after using it just 6 times, I was about to pour batter onto the plate, when the sizzling searingly hot top plate dropped from the open lid, barely missing my hand, falling down with a loud bang on my kitchen table! I had securely clicked the plate in place on the day I received the wafflemaker and had used it fine until then.After it had cooled down, the plate would no longer stay put in the lid, no matter what I tried. I then tried the other set of plates (the Belgian ones) but these had the same issue. The plate appeared to click in place, but one second after opening the lid the plate came loose again.I inspected it further, and it turned out the design to keep the plate in place is a bad design: It relies on a tiny L shaped piece of metal in the lid, that is supposed to move aside and then click behind the clip on the back of the plate. That L shape is not sturdy enough. It wont withstand the force to push a plate in place as indicated by the manual. Instead it was bend inwards, so it wont grip the clip of the plate anymore. I recalled a retail store had a showmodel, that also had a plate that didn't stay in place, but I attributed that to being misused by many customers playing around with it. Well, was I wrong! I clicked the plate in place only ONCE, and that was seemingly enough to bend the metal hook in the lid. OR maybe it was never properly created in the first place. A $250 - $300 appliance! I'd expected it to be better designed than this.See pictures to further clarify.My quest for the perfect waffle maker unfortunately continues...

Used one time and enamel/plastic is already cracking a little. Also waffle timer doesn’t work unless you fill almost entire thing with batter. It does make very nice waffles when 3/4 full or more.I expected a little more for the price.
