After a long test phase I have now decided that I could check the unit thoroughly and thus am able to write a review). The conclusion comes but right at the beginning: A super device for that price and I would buy this sandwich maker definitely go back, if only he does not after intensive use (and with intense I mean intense, because the toaster must be in groups of 5 students -WG some popular are) still would look almost like new!
As described in the instructions, you should take necessarily the big sandwich slices, for which there was with me so far only in about 5% of cases, a "running" problem with the cheese. And even if sometimes overflows something, it can be as long as the toaster is still slightly warm, just wipe with a kitchen towel and everything is clean. This has the additional advantage that the non-stick coating, which by the way deserves to be called, gets no scratches by cleaning with a sharp object.
As the toasting is really fast (5 minutes, and the result looks good and tastes good too) it may actually even a "thicker" Sandwich (eg with sauce, cheese, sausage, cucumbers, tomatoes and onions) and also here: no expiring cheese. Because even I have been astonished.
The closing of the unit requires at the beginning (to make it hooking) some force, especially in the thicker pads, but that has not always worked. And despite the Benanspruchung the closure is still not broke, what my old sandwich maker has unfortunately retired! So durable despite the price and that reason alone already worthwhile.
Then I would like to give even my two cents to the halving of the discs: It is very convenient that is transferred directly, especially if you want to make sandwiches for several people, since every one wants to "just try". But that this device can cut the sausage not directly during toasting with a blunt edge, so that one with the knife still have to put a cut (oh no, what effort!), But it is quite clear. Or they cut their meat always with the back of the knife? Otherwise you would have here already installing a blade and which would then lead to very different problems.
Oh and of course there is the edge of the sandwiches is always the problem that it is pressed completely flat, without filling. But here really have to decide: either the edge of it is super crispy, yet tastes, or expiring cheese which spoils the fun toast. Because that is designed to prevent this edge).
