Just like the one my mom used to have...except that it didn't perform like the one mom had. After searching quite a while for a waffle maker that would make enough for a family of four I found this one and thought the search was over. Boy was I wrong. I made waffles multiple times and except for one time they all stuck to the waffle maker. The next to last time that I tried to make waffles the maker was stuck so tight that it would not budge without being pried apart with pliers. Aside from sticking the plates were not held tightly in place (which was probably part of the problem), plastic (cheap) handles, and a surface that would get extremely hot. The only positive is that it made it about 20 feet on one throw. Black & Decker should stay in the garage and out of the kitchen!
