After a Tefal "Croc-Minute", constantly sprang the lock in which, by the lid flipped open and the cheese side ran out, various cheap devices - in which the non-stick coating is not worthy of the name, I have now bought this device - and am completely thrilled ! It has a heavy, solid case, in which flexes and creaks nothing when you close the lid. Furthermore, the lock works perfectly on the handle and makes a robust impression. The arrangement of the latch on the far side handle also is the burden that the closure is very low and promises a long life. The heating is very low (in comparison to Tefal with 350W) until the two slices of toast are used, the machine has heated up. Cleaning default, there is also nothing to complain about, the plates are very easy to remove and rinse off with warm water (coming into the dishwasher the with me no way - even if it is allowed according to the description), wiping with a damp cloth is sufficient but completely out to now. How durable is the coating, will still turn out. Jumbo or "American" -Toastscheiben be around nicely sealed and get a nice tan, even without outside to smear with butter beforehand, as recommended in the description. The lack of on-off switch I miss personally do not, because the device is put away anyway after use. In addition, 95% have felt the other toaster available and no power switch. Who does not want to always unplug the device yet, to simply buy a small adapter plug with built-in switch that has been around for a few euros, sometimes even with illuminated switch. All in all, a strong buy recommendation from me! If there is still negative to say later, I'll update this review here! Enjoy your meal!
