My kids, ages 6 to 16, like to help make and eat the waffle sticks and it came with a good booklet of recipes. We use pancake Krustease pancake mix that has a waffle recipe on the side.

My kids just loved these wafflesticks. I doubled the basic recipe using 3 whole eggs and they were a hit. The maker is easy to clean, browns nicely (I used setting 4) It's a nice size...not too big and stores compactly on it's side.It's too bad Cuisinart is discontinuing it.

I bought this to add some fun to our weekend breakfasts. It has been a big hit with the kids! They love the sticks, I love how easy it is to use. If you follow the simple directions, there is no batter leakage and waffles come out easily. The beep when done is a real plus - no watching for the light to go off. We loved it so much we bought a second one for the grandparents!

The Cuisinart DIP-8 waffle maker was purchased for my grandkids ages 1, 2, and 5. They managed to eat 24 sticks the first time we used it. Ask them if they are good.

We love this waffle-stick maker! I like how you can either keep it as a few bigger waffles, or break them apart into strips. The non-stick surface allows them to easily come out of the waffle maker. We already had a waffle maker, but I wanted this one for the kids. And they love the waffle sticks for a snack.

This is truly a great waffle maker to have if you have kids. They love to eat them and make their own.

I have had a Salton waffle maker for years, but avoid making waffles because of the messy clean up. The extra batter would seep into everything. I would wind up unscrewing the whole thing to clean. I saw the Cuisinart 8 stick waffle maker and thought I would give it a try. I can't stop making waffles!! At first I was worried if I bought it for our 2 youngest (for the stick feature), I wouldn't be able to serve it to the rest of the family. Turns out the waffles come out attached, so all is well. The unit beeps when it has heated up; beeps when the waffles are done, so you don't have to stand over it--watching. It has a dial which cooks the waffles from light to crispy--and it does work! Even though I'm thrilled with all that, the clean up is too easy! No nooks and crannies for the extra batter to drip into. It even has an area to wrap the electrical cord and can be placed standing on its side since it has a latch feature. So out with my old maker and in with Cuisinart. Makes breakfast a piece of "cake"?!
