What do wild sex and Eggs Benedict have in common? You don't get either one at home...
I "like-like" waffles but they aren't something I eat very often. In fact I am not a big breakfast eater any more. Big breakfasts are something I do periodically at the chain places (or local diners when traveling) and rarely at home. The main reason for doing it at home is I can have as much bacon as I want without taking out a loan.
We all have to consider what we carry around vs. frequency of use etc. If I did carry a waffle iron it would probably be a stovetop one simply because of the power usage. When there is a "propane" alternative to an appliance I will almost always use the propane version.
One reason I chose to use the capsule coffee maker is to not have the coffee pot heating element running all the time.
In my 30 amp limited coach I can have 2 things going at once, basically. A/C, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, air fryer... Pick two or blow the circuit - - LOL...
