Query: A chromed piece of junk

From the first batch of waffles, I knew we were going to have problems with this machine. The waffles came out pretty well, in fact -- light, fluffy, more cooked in the middle, but fairly even. The problem is the electronics, especially the thermostat, which didn't work on day one and doesn't work now (about a year later). Today, the thermostat failed to shut-off entirely and the machine came close to catching on fire. A true hazard that I'll have to retire. It's a sad day, when you can't trust the cuisinart name and the industrial-chrome look to deliver quality. I can't recommend another waffle maker, but the Cuisinart machine is one to avoid....
