Design over function ?! Unit becomes extremely hot on steel rim

Russell Hobbs 21392-56 Colours Storm Grey long slot toaster, 6 adjustable browning levels, bun warmer (household goods)

Customer Review

Bin of this toaster is not very excited because:
I've been using so far is a 20-year-old Krups toaster, which is superior to that here in every respect - except for the "Beauty", and which is relatively. But in detail and in sequence!

Style:
+ Initially quite augenschmeichelnd with stainless steel and frosted sheet, but things turn out to be a flop, more under "Operation / security"
- Cheap-looking plastic buttons detract from the overall impression a little

Safety / Operation:
+ Itself like a normal toaster: Toast pure and good, but
--- Stainless steel rim and COMPLETE ROUND fueled heavily on, thus also in the vicinity of the control handle!

Technology:
- Glühfadentechnik; well tried, but nothing special. In addition, here the filaments are laid but not very uniform, thus the distance between toast and filaments is very different. Even browning is so pure coincidence.
+/- 1000 watts standard and perfectly adequate

Accessories:
+ Bun warmer, but
- Rickety and only as attachment, not integrated
+ Crumb tray

As I said, my old Krups Toaster provides for comparison: Heizstabelemente, an integrated bun warmer and a completely insulated skin. Although this is made of plastic, but this is clearly valent processed when the Kunsstoffapplikationen on RussellHobbs.
Who here wants to prepare 4 toast successively with the RussellHobbs, can do that, but he is scrupulously careful to "down pushers" to operate only with pointed fingers - just like in the photo. Otherwise there is the danger of burns at the underlying stainless steel! For me as a clumsy person a no-go, because as the hot steel can be, I've already figured out involuntarily.

Conclusion:
If you already have the other devices of the series, like thereto have his joy. For me it is only a relatively expensive example of "Design over function".
