Interested toaster with smaller complain but great ideas

This is in 10 years the now 3rd toaster in our household. He makes a good visual impression and fits perfectly in the kitchen on our black marble countertop. The controller for the heat setting for toasting or heating up bread on the metal stand is a nice idea, but sometimes performs a shift of a few millimeters to either a golden-brown or even (half) black toast bread. Once found the correct knob position, we usually leave it there. But if you sometimes rolls and / or want to warm toast, the back-and-Hergeschiebe of the controller is a veritable gamble. Here I find the Tefal developers should have come up with a different set-up mechanics. A half star deduction.

The egg cooker is a great idea and produces wonderfully round fried eggs (even if slightly thick, since the radius of the egg boiler is not soo big;)). The curved plastic hood is heat resistant and also allows "storage space" for smaller things like pizza rolls of last night, the one hinbekommt warm durftend and soft - all thanks to the water hotplate that turn off automatically when the water is verdampt. Class is the Mini-pan, in which the experimental user can be fooled any little treats (sausage, meatballs, etc.) to warm up.

A further half star deduction for the initial odor (supposedly harmless) who came up with us even after weeks during toasting. The manual states that the smell might occur due to any alloys in the first three heat operations. I got the toaster 20 times hired idle before I dared, then finally hoodwink a toast. The smell went by then but still after a few weeks of use.

Despite the above, smaller blemishes the unit at the base price is a great toaster, which makes hoffenltich many years services.
