The only thing it doesn't have is an overflow channel. I especially like the two-sided plates, which make it a breeze to clean. While I can't vouch for this exact version, ours from the mid-80s (with slightly different handles, a smaller temp knob and a smaller "Ready" light) still gets plenty of use and works just as well now as it did new out of the box. It's a simple design that does what needs to be done.
Have only used waffle maker, but it's great. I had another, but it got broken, so I searched for an exact replacement, I like it that much.
The review options would not accept zero stars so I had to put 1 star. If I was Amazon.com I would be embarrassed to offer this piece of crap. Cheap looking, thin, flimsy, you get the picture.
As with any grill, beware not to use too much cheese or else it will ooze out and be a pain to clean. Many of the other waffle makers and grills only make 2 waffles or sandwiches, and this makes 4, so for a larger group this is great. And if you upkeep the surfaces so they stay non-stick, it will last a while.
The reason I only gave it 4 stars is because the outside gets so hot. Even so, my 3 year old touched it last night and has a small blister on his finger. We love this product and we use it all the time (3 or 4 times a week)to make waffles, quesadillas, and sandwiches. I've warned my children to NEVER touch it-plugged or unplugged. I don't think he's going to do that again. I even used it to grill onions. It is by far the most used small appliance (after the microwave) in our kitchen.
