First it must be said that this device makes great sandwiches and is super easy to clean. Now we come to huge downside. The closure is made of plastic and it's just a matter of time before these breaks. It is to be understood in this price range for a manufacturer not equip the product with such a cheap closure or to at least come up with something in the design, so that the shutter does not break off. Even with my sandwich toaster is what already 9 years old and at that time cost 10 to 20 euros, is the closure point been much better designed, so that to this day nothing has been canceled. The breaking point can be viewed at the customer images.
