I bought the toaster as a visual complement to the kettle of Gastroback and am pleased with the nice retro look, but also offers modern technology such as LED and audible beep, which I regard as useful. The only minor complaint: The unit remains in stand-by function if you do not pull the plug.
Conclusion: This unit of Gastroback is - as well as the kettle - recommended visually and functionally very. However, I can not say anything about the long-term use, the left to be desired in some other (more expensive) equipment in exclusive design ... unfortunately very lacking!
