is but in appearance a rather cheap-acting device from China, as a variety of other Toaster 4 slots also. The metal is very lightweight and not particularly precision-machined aluminum, plastic base with plastic plugs as Fußersatz. Nearly 80 Euro for this are too much by 50%. The settings on the controller bring more random changes. The toast results are rather unsatisfactory, as highly variable from front to rear and from upper third of the rest. The toaster was replaced by Amazon perfect service fast, but the result of toasting is also in replacement like before. Several segments of the heating elements do not work. Whether in China is no final da? 4-slot toaster is available for 40-300 euros, all look very much alike including the extent.. This model from Cuisinart is not used by us
