This  is not nonstick.  I have ruined many waffles by forgetting to spray it.  This does have flat griddles that you can change to that work great for pancakes.  I have had less expensive wafflemakers that made much better waffles than this one does.  The griddles are difficult to change out.  I don't know if I'm not using the heat control correctly, but when put on the waffle setting the waffles come out dry and too well done. I suppose it is alright for a big family, but for just 2 people it is a bit large.  Difficult to store.
