After our previous 2Scheiben Toaster me again the first toasts white and the second round had black, a new was needed - and this time a 4 slices device (we one to four). The old device were a brand of appliance Rowenta: never again. Now we have the Proficook elected, even though we did not know the brand and are excited. The toaster toasts very slow, but nice, smooth and exactly as it is set. As we like to wait! Like other have noted already, the cable is too short. Only drawback.
