 Worked great for us for a couple yearsMar 14, 2010
We got this as a gift a few years ago and have not used it to often and usually for about four waffles each time we used it. So I think that is why it worked for as long as it did. We had the fuse burn out on us this weekend. I looked at other reviews and took the maker apart to maybe fix it on my own. Once I looked inside and found the fuse I didn't feel comfortable that my fix would be protected from the heat so I decided to trash it. We are going to look for one that takes up less space and will last 10 or so years, which I think these should. Frustrating though, I think it would be an easy design update to make the fuse a pop in and out type. That would be easy to change out and make this last the time it should.

Fixing the waffle iron with Radio Shack partsFeb 12, 2010
I also had the problem with the thermal fuse burning out (light comes on but waffle iron doesn't get hot).
Other reviews have described how to find the fuse on the underside of the lower heating plate. I wanted to add information about using Radio Shack parts found locally to fix the device.
I bought the "443°F (228°C) Thermal Protector Fuse" as a replacement. It's rated a little lower than the 240°C fuse described elsewhere, but I suspect it's not that big a difference.
[...]
After cutting away the old fuse, I used "Crimp-On Telephone/Alarm Connectors" to connect the new fuse to the existing wires without needing to solder.
[...]
I held the connectors in a candle flame to burn off the plastic coating prior to installation. Otherwise, the plastic would likely burn up the first time the waffle iron was heated up.
The biggest problem we had was re-assembling the waffle iron after installing the fuse. The screw holes in the waffle iron deform easily and we had problems getting the screws to stay in place when putting them back in. My wife came up with a fix involving using longer screws, but that's a whole different story . . .
Won't last long, but was such a blastFeb 09, 2010
We loved this waffle maker. Just like the restaurant grade waffle makers. Makes wonderful perfect waffles just about every time. The novelty of the item made it worth it. We had waffle parties, dinners, etc. and it was just a blast.
The down side:
1 not built to last. After about 2 years the plastic handle broke and we could no longer flip the waffle.
2 Clean up is kind of messy, it builds up with gunk after many uses, especially when you use the non-stick sprays it will get coated with a brownish sticky film. The hinge points are hard to clean.
3 It is very big and bulky - we could not keep it in the kitchen because the amount of room it occupied.

 A Marvel: excellent when working right; a sparking fuseblower when moodyFeb 06, 2010
This is a marvelous machine when functioning according to design. Others have reviewed its positive features. And others have reviewed its downfall: a short in the wiring when flipping. On this iron's fifth outing since purchase, the little woman of the house exclaimed loudly when on the second waffle, a flash emitted from between the two plates, and the kitchen circuit breaker popped. Doesn't always happen, though, and after several circuit resets, she managed to finish up the batter. Waring telephone customer service responded within two days with an offer to replace it with currently made model, the one with folding handle. Waring also issued a UPS call tag to reclaim the sparky unit for examination. We'll see if the 'Toyota fix' has been applied to the waffle iron that is being sent as replacement.
