The lever can be easily operated and the degree of browning, with its six possible stages in relation to the setting - so I choose the middle stage - completely OK.
The toaster has a crumb tray, which I personally find very important, so that no one has the Krümelei on the countertop. They can be pulled out - empty and easily reinsert. The slot of the toaster is perfectly adequate for normal width and a bit wider slices of toast, I find even that the two slots are wider than in my previous toaster.
The bread is automatically pushed exactly in the middle, which ensures ,. that the toast is completely browned all around evenly.
I am completely satisfied - great device !!!! Recommendation !!!
