In short, it actually exists just as a new version, because I have exactly these are now here at my house! And Unfortunately deteriorated a lot more things by the manufacturer, resonates as well in some other reviews. This I want to list after all.
1. The cable is actually very stiff, almost rock hard. Even me, the toaster once already upset when I tried to fold the cable aside.
2. The device is actually red-hot on the sides. Even after the second toast process can no longer touch the sides. It is now times around a metal surface that transfers heat from the interior very well - but there are certainly devices that are better insulated!
3. The black plastic cover above actually deforms - it forms small waves, which do not disappear even after cooling.
4. American Toast has now become too big for this toaster because the mechanism has changed. The toast will not disappear entirely in the chamber. The part that stands out above is, of course, not roasted and remains white and soft. But normal toast in toaster disappears. However:
5. The toast comes after the process is not completely out of the toaster out! One has to take the bread out of the chamber with a Toast tongs handy you do not want to enter grab with your fingers (and of course burn). Advertised for this device explicitly lift function that definitely is no longer available but in the current version! In the manual it is even described. When the toast is nabbed upwards, should we continue to push the lever up to remove the toast safely and easily. This is the current version no longer possible because the lever snaps always to the very top to the end of the groove. However there are inside even that crack for guiding theoretically were to continue - outside of the lever but not anymore! A faulty design after changing the device!
6. advertised is the outside of the carton, the "German Quality" by Severin. Under the carton is "Manufactured in China". But should really surprise anyone. For me, but false advertising.
By the way one recognizes the new version of the device at first glance at the other identifies the key top; the icons were in fact changed. So the lower button shows for example instead of the termination character (triangle) now two arrows upwards (ejection of toast).
Too bad that the unit was impaired obviously. The version of 2010 must have been really good. On the plate located under the device is still "AT 2515" - no mention of a new version. I ordered the way directly from Amazon and not in a third party.
Otherwise, the toaster is actually not bad. Toasting however takes a comparatively long time in spite of the high performance of the device. The white line on the dial is also missing with me. But you can live with it. I doubt that the slightly higher price for this device is justified.
