positive:
+ Very durable materials (my parents for many years, the previous model of this), the plastic is so far neither brittle nor fragile and the metal is simply not so shiny (but it was all those years not polished ;-))
+ A durable closure can to expose even large stress forces, so you can with a clear conscience make the fattest sandwiches and lift with the body weight on the toaster to close it and the (three-tier) closure keeps the from (and for many years already, at least -as mentioned- the previous model)
+ The sandwiches are done fairly quickly, since I'm used to cheap sandwich makers completely different times
+ A purchasing decision for me personally was also that the slices of toast are not again divided into triangles
+ Easy and quick to clean (apart from the hinge, below)
negative:
- It fit no big slices of toast purely because the field half a cm must rectangular always about to be cut off
- The hinge is difficult to clean
- And for the third rather half a negative point, you have to stop the device after each use very thoroughly because once you use the device the next time, all residues burning a relentlessly, so that you can hardly not more abbekommt up.
CONCLUSION:
A beautiful instrument that one, if you always cleans well, can afford loyal service over the years and its good qualities can get over the negative (-:
