After a couple of months, the second hinge pin broke making the appliance useless.

I was still able to use to with caution, then within the year the second hinge pin broke, now unable to use.

Like many of the other reviews, one of hinge pins broke soon after purchasing

First hinge pin broke after the second use.

No matter how much I oil the pan it still stuck and made a messy mess

The B&D waffle maker works fine

The cord doesn't lead out the back of the unit, it leads out the front - as if it were installed backward.

We used closer to 3/4 cup of batter not 2/3 as recommended and even then some waffles were slightly undersized which resulted as a not as crisp product

It has a convenient light that that turns off when it is done pre heating as well as when your waffle is actually done

Now I have enough to last awhile as they break.
