Before buying I had looked at various sandwich maker and went through the reviews, with the result that it actually was a not inconsiderable disadvantage at every available for selection Maker.
Ultimately was then the Cloer on the order list and I do not regret the purchase until today.
The locking mechanism is designed in my view very solid (although plastic, but that's on all models I have looked at the case), particularly the 3 lock positions (!), Which are used depending on the size / thickness of sandwiches, I like very much.
In almost all other models is only one closure stage, which is to conclude forced, no matter how thick the toast is also occupied. For me, the reason why it then with so many to break comes.
For toasting himself: The Cloer Maker has a pre-tanning stage, where you can change anything. The red light goes out after preheating, the sandwiches can be placed. After inserting the lamp lights a short time later on and we have to wait until it goes off again, then the toasts are done. A short beep like the waffle maker from Cloer does not exist. Too bad, because as you have to keep the maker during his work in mind.
The degree of browning is mE well timed, the toasts are nicely golden brown, with smaller weaknesses due to the not very uniform heat distribution plates.
By following the instructions and highlights the sandwiches from the outside with a little butter, they fall in conjunction with the non-stick coating after toasting formally from the device, it works really great, or similar .. In addition, without sticking the toasts thus externally slightly crunchy, which I also like very much. Since I had a few reviews here but strong concerns previously.
Otherwise would then still the lack of mention "On / Off" switch; the device begins to preheat toasting / once the plug has been plugged in and listen only to the unplugging again.
For some, apparently a greater security risk, for me in any way a problem. When I plug the plug, to the toaster even begin, there must / I do not want to press one extra button.
And after I (the) sandwich (it) had taken it, I pull the plug just the same outside.
All in all, a strong buy recommendation for those who are looking for a solid sandwich maker. A star's withdrawal as mentioned above for the not quite optimal heat distribution and the lack of tone.
