We bought this toaster spontaneously, because the old has gone surprisingly broken - and we are really pleased. The housing is made of plastic (there are always consisting of metal, which can then stop during the toasting and the 20 minutes after not touch without incurring burns - certainly also of major manufacturers), but is so glossy that I have kept unpacked for metal. The long slots allow toasting four slices of toast (also the large American-toasts) or more slices of bread at the same time. Extra folding is a holder for Weckerl-baking (though we never use this so can not say), retracted it is largely non-existent and therefore interfere at all. A charging crumbs facilitates cleaning of the device. The drawbacks: a lifting mechanism in order to get smaller slices of bread without finger burns from the toaster can be nice. This was probably omitted because the jetty on which the wheels come to stand, are fundamentally attached near the top (which when toasting only one or two toast or bread slices sometimes results in that the discs jump filmreif from the device, When you are done; ->), but that is enough sometimes still not enough. And the mark point during Bräunungsregulierrad is black on black. He is sublime, you can feel him so, but he is hardly seen. So far it has given us not so disturbed that we have gone to buy garish nail polish, but it's one of those things where every single time "Argh" one imagines ...
