The HT450 provides (with me in black) not only look good. The result is in every sense of the reinbeisen! Although the brown toasts a little slower than my previous devices. Waiting he rewarded with absolutely evenly browned toast. And if I so far with a lot of tact had to find the fine line between "white cheese" and "Brandenburg", I can with my new Braun can quite easily set the desired Bräungsgrad. I only say "mmmmh, delicious" at this 5 star toaster. We recommend!
