POSITIVE:
To make four sandwiches + simultaneously is of course great.
+ Ceramic I find reassuring as Teflon and hope that they will prove to be durable.
+ The toaster is pretty fast to use.
NEGATIVE:
- The first three gears over smelled the toaster despite double of completed basic cleaning after description Manual very chemically. The first load of sandwiches smelled so pervasive by charred plastic that we have discarded it - and we are at something not normally squeamish.
- There is no warning for finished toasts - because you have to develop a sense of self through nachgucken.
- The frame of the toaster is very warm already during the first pass, then the handle at the latest during the second. For several sandwich courses consecutively you need potholders.
- Contrary to the product description fit any large toasts to the surface. This is per se no problem, but if you rely on the manufacturer's instructions and buys large toasts, which is quite annoying.
- After the third passage, the housing starts to change color along the edges by the hot steam that escapes from the interior. When the Ceramic Inlay met my expectations of durability, it is the outer casing probably survive long.
CONCLUSION:
There are more negative points than positive, but all in all I think the sandwich-Star for the price quite ok - put the case that Chemomief phase is over at the beginning and does not intend the sandwich maker for more than two loads at a time to use. From the purchase I would not necessarily discourage per se, but the next device I personally would probably acquire from another manufacturer.
