I think that few people use waffle irons often enough to bother getting
or keeping a waffle iron.

 
Then again, a few people get and keep waffle irons and only use
them once or twice a year.

I think that would qualify as not using them enough to bother having one.

What bother?  They sit on a shelf until required.  It's not
as if they chase us around the kitchen.

My wife and I have one and use it quite often.
While I am happy with pancakes my wife really likes waffles. Pancakes
are a snap to make from scratch but waffles are considerably more work.
The eggs have to be separated and the whites beaten then folding into
the batter.

 
That's a choice, not a necessity.

The separated egg? Of course you can save the work and skip that part
but it does make a world of difference to the texture.  They are lighter
and crisper. That is what my wife especially likes about waffles.

My husband makes the waffles.  The choice is his.  I don't care
that much.  They get sufficiently light and crisp.
