I have long wondered whether I should take the classical or the Lite. After 2 weeks in toasting Lite incl. Sandwich preparation I am convinced that we have made the right choice. Perfect Toast and saved 200 - a real bargain! The toast is compared to my old toaster incredible - crispy on the outside, soft inside. The sandwiches are like from a pub in England. It shows once again that it is worth a long look, and not the same to buy the first available device. I can highly recommend this toaster - and my concern is that the sandwich toasting the toaster to clean bad, was also unfounded. However, there is still one point which should speak for the original: toasts to only one disk, so this is uneven brown - the original 300 can turn each shaft individually ...
