I have not deterred me from bad reviews and still brought me the instrument. Maybe because I just could not believe that there Tefal crap builds. My experience has only been positive. It easily fit 2 slices of sausage + 1 slice of cheese (from the shelves in real terms) on it and because nothing works and fits purely very good, although with little pressure. The closure is because very stable. Point deduction, there's only because it's a little tricky to clean, but not impossible.
