I would have let me almost from the one negative review dissuade the purchase, luckily I was persistent. Unlike my previous machine has the following advantages: -> Much quieter in use -> Drip tray for crumbs has a higher edge, nothing is on the worktop -> Also great bread can be no "slant" of bread cut -> Guiding the carriage by means of snap in the lower part and accurately without wobbling - fingers are much safer -> Easy cleaning, therefore in my view also hygienically -> Very little space and stands for a larger machine in any way
My Conclusion: Price - performance is very good, so buy!
