Finally good toasts

For years, I use the cheap toaster Severin. As I have now decided for these Philips, I knew not yet how well he'd like that. The toasts are now tanned as evenly over the entire surface, as I have seen it by any Severin toasters.

Very nice is also the stop button. Before, I always had to pull the plug or tricking the spring mechanism.

The key to press down is a good size and easily. In addition, they can also slide over the starting position beyond upwards in order to remove, for example, small pieces can.

The crumb tray is already standard, but still good to have.

The warming rack I would rate neutral, because the mechanism is good (stable, will not break under load together) and bad shape (arched rolls tend to slide down).

Not so successful is the command dial for tanning. One should move in the middle as far as possible, otherwise the toasts are too bright / too dark. Thus, the upper stages are worth more for the grill.

The two keys for thawing and grilling seem completely useless. While they illuminate after pressing, however, have led me to no significant changes in the results. I think rather marketing gags. Only the warm-up button still makes sense (already toasted slices reheating). Lets you toast for a few seconds away.

Except for the small weaknesses but I am happy with my previous best toaster!
