Even after a long period of use even a pungent odor

This toaster I can unfortunately me blinded by the proven brand name. First bothers me the design of the toaster, the deep groove between Toast unit and frame. Here sit namely from crumbs, to which one only with difficulty, for example, with cotton swabs ran comes and the burn on the hot surface and then adhere very firmly as a black discoloration.

The function of the toaster I feel generally considered okay, but I use the Toaster almost exclusively for Bun Aufknuspern.

What, however, massively bothers me is that the "Genio" even after 1.5 years of almost daily use from time to time still gives off a pungent smell. The new toaster this smell was so extreme that I have heated him several times in the open, because I was afraid that it might be to toxic fumes.

I would therefore not buy it again.
