The ability to switch around the plates between waffle and griddle is great and the top hinges all the way back to give you two cooking surfaces to use but the clips that hold the plates in place a pretty flimsy they consist of two tabs in the hinge side and a single piece of bent metal on the other

Additionally there is no amount of insulation or heat mitigation in the design the outer shell is just as exposed to the heating elements as the inner cooking plates

Heat distribution of plates is poor

Center of plates do not heat as well as periphery of plates

Also i had to bend one of the plate clips in order for it to secure the plate

The plate retaining clips do not seem to be very substantial so i will not be surprised if they fail sooner than the rest of the device

The temperature control knob is rudimentary so i expect that to fail before the rest of the appliance

The instructions do not explain the functions on the control knob very well
