For those of you who are tired of "conventional" waffle makers not giving you the "perfect" waffle every time, I highly recommend this the Cuisinart "vertical" waffle maker. It's as close to perfection as I've seen.
I highly recommend trusting the cup that comes with the waffle maker, and you don't have to fill it to the very top of the cup to get a great waffle. It might look like you didn't put enough batter into the waffle maker, but the batter will expand to fill the space (and beyond) as it cooks.
Oh, and buy it on sale!
