Possession of the toaster now for more than a year and have never had problems with it. I can confirm though that after several (many) Toast operations consecutively tanning increases, but since I myself usually only 4 toasts toasts (2x2), falls not on. And for optimal tanning of normal ranges toast the setting between 3 and 4 and it goes to 6, is still enough room for really black toast. What definitely has yet to be mentioned: The toaster is really well made. Makes a solid and not rickety impression. My old before goodbye, because a plastic part broke and he let himself go so no longer engage the toast down.
