We have the black. Very good we like the integrated bun warmer, with the handle you can not burn your fingers. Very well done. Even the characteristic "Zzzannnggg" when the toast is ready, sounds here Executive moderately different. Looks good, makes golden brown toast, handles are quite OK. Like many other Toaster he has also, unfortunately, a very small flaw, are the more toast toasted direct succession, the darker they are using the same settings. Unfortunately. Have the toaster developers do not yet do not get, at least for the standard toasters. 4 of 5 --- Addendum to our Siemens Toaster on 28/11/2010. The toaster still works properly. Nachwievor Integrated roll top and stage control are highly popular and much in use. Even the housing forth the toaster is almost remained like new. In retrospect, therefore, even more clearly: An excellent purchase. I think this information could be useful in the decision.
