I finally found the toaster I dreamed. You can roast very large and long slices. You can even put half a baguette, even frozen, or a sandwich with a special accessory and is supplied. You can choose the intensity of the resistance through the thermostat and the exposure time of your toast with a button that can be set from 1 to 10. Once it is finished, the machine will the announcement by a pleasant signal sound. True, the bread does not rise only (need to lift yourself by using a button on the right), but what do we care! It may well make the effort anyway! No other toaster is unlike him. They all have too narrow and short slots. If you practicality, go on this toaster. If traditional toaster never annoyed you, you can choose another, a classic. Only small problem: without meaning to, my wife dislocated several times the thermostat knob because she mistook one used to push and lift the bread. But it's not a problem of the machine.
