poor quality, hard to clean

I would not recommend this waffle maker for someone looking to add an appliance to their kitchen that will stand the test of time. The plates are hard to clean and the temperature/ readiness of the maker is somewhat inconsistent. The lid does not open far enough to stay open when when trying to get the waffle out of the maker. It does not come with a waffle spatula either, which would be very helpful. This appliance is college dorm quality at best.
