In this high-priced toaster, it is just unbelievable - but he rusts! We have the toaster for two months and when I tried to clean it thoroughly just now, I realized that many spots were on the top around the slot no splashing, but rust stains that can not be removed! The toast performance is good, but from the grate I am appalled. This must not happen with the price and the big-name manufacturers simply. 31.08.2011, Addendum: I want in the context praise the customer service from Amazon, the e-mail today announced that me the purchase price for these rusted toaster will be refunded immediately. The processing of the whole thing lasted exactly 48 hours. Perfect!
