After I had bought a sandwich maker of another producer which ceased his duties after three months, only the unit of Krups came into question because of the good review for me. And I must confess: This unit makes its name. A sandwich maker that produces outstanding results. The edges of the sandwich slices neatly welded, so that hardly remoulade or cheese comes out of the side, the bread is crispy. In short, it must be a sandwich! For me it's a 5 star machine!
