After our very old toaster had given up the ghost, we were looking for something compact, simple, but that does not look cheap. Important for us was the long slot for normal bread. Many functions have a toaster not, but here the standard equipment of convenient retractable warming rack and crumb tray is complemented by warm and Defrost button. More does not need. The toast is highly catapulted not loud but stands out softly when he is ready. Thermostat is set well to light does not follow the same higher Make black. We missed in the product description, the dimensions: width 11,5 cm, length 36 cm, height 18.5 cm. The unit is solid and stable due to its weight, makes a high quality impression and is priced rather on the lower end of the scale. We are very pleased and can highly recommend it.
