This is a common story about this product. I bought this from another site as a refurb so I didn't have high hopes, but the price was right. 39.00 US dollars. First time I made waffles I put the batter in, rotated the iron and the bottom hinge fell off. It's made of very thin cheap plastic so I doubt if this is a professional model. Not wanting to pay return shipping I figure I could rig it back together. Easy, just super glue the broken plastic shoulders back on, then drill two small holes through the bottom hinge for longer machine screws and tighten with small washers and nuts on the outside. Worked great, and you can only see the fasteners when the iron is rotated to the first cooking position.
Well long story short, second time I used it I made two waffles and the thermal fuse blew. Not wanting to give up, I dismantled the POS again and bypassed the fuse. Now I know you shouldn't do things like bypassing circuit protection but I am making sure the next time this acts up it will be the last. In fact, the next hiccup this thing makes and I will smash it to pieces and put in the trash just in case some trash picker thinks they might want to make some waffles on the cheap. Save them some aggravation.
This will be my first and last Waring appliance.Get more detail about Waring Pro WMK300A Professional Stainless-Steel Belgian Waffle Maker.
