I have a pretty large family and needed a waffle maker that would make a good amount in a shorter time. After looking around, I came across this one and decided to order it. Alot of the reviews were saying that it makes very small waflles but no picture(s) to really show what they meant. So I added one. They are pretty small sized but for kids I think the size is great! They are smaller than a deck of cards , more the the upper half of a cooking tongs, or a orange. They are not a thick as Belgian waffles but not at think as regular waffles, right in the middle. The pockets will definitely hold a good amount of syrup (if you like sweets), butter or whatever you useFiguring out the temp and timer can be tricky but what I find works for me is plugging it in when I am preparing the batter so it is ready, setting it at 190c, when the heat light goes out that means it hit that temp, pour the batter on the plates and setting the the timer to 4. They come out crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. All in all, I am very happy with my purchase. I haven't tried with added fruits or chocolate chips but i think it should be okay with smaller chips or smaller cuts of fruit.
