We've tried a variety of recipes from the booklet that came the machine now, and we consistently get quite good donuts. I think the reviewers who gave this product such negative reviews weren't using the recipes it came with - those recipes were included for a reason!
Most of our baking is gluten-free, and with simple GF flour substitutions in the basic recipes, I get soft, cakey donuts, which my son and his friends find quite satisfactory. I like that I can be done with the whole project - batter to bake to frost - in about 20 minutes. Much easier than making fried donuts in hot oil, which makes a mess out of the whole kitchen.
My negative about this product would be the "glaze" recipes - they're wet, drippy and sticky, not what you want on finger food. Try either tossing the hot donuts in cinnamon sugar or making a simple chocolate frosting with melted semi-sweet chocolate, a dab of butter and 1 tsp. milk. That worked great.

I purchased this at Target after seeing a similar product at Thinkgeek. I followed the directions regarding cleaning and oiling, mixed up a batch of donut batter using their recipe, and started making donuts. My first batch was a little overcooked in the front and the ones in the back were a little undercooked. I figured out that this was because I took too long measuring out the batter, which gave the donuts I measured out first a longer cooking time. I threw the first cooked batch away anyway because the directions say that they may taste funny, and I filled the donut maker up again, quicker this time. The donuts came out perfect in under two minutes. They are moist, fluffy, and delicious. I covered them in powdered sugar and sent the wife off to work with tasty treats for her coworkers.
If you can follow directions, this is a great product. You have to read carefully, or you will not fill the donut maker correctly and wind up with donuts that are overcooked on the bottom and raw on the top.

We have been wanting this maker for some time and let me tell you we are not disappointed! We have 2 kids 8 & 6 who love donuts and a mom (ME) who dislikes the fact that they are so bad for you. We just made our first batch and they came out perfect though I did add a splash more vanilla and a spoon full of sour cream to the Basic Donut Recipe. No I know what my kids are eating and what is in them!
The reason the tops are coming out white on some peoples is because the did not fill them enough. If the batter dose not rise to the top it can not brown. There are instructional videos on YouTube that let you know exactly what you need to do.
We love it and cant wait to make more :)

So-So Appliance
This countertop appliance bakes hotter on the bottom than on the top, making for uneven results and requires turning the donuts for even browning.
