I sat on the lookout for a great sandwich maker only on the wrong horse. The only half as expensive competitor was indeed praised in the majority of reviews, how did that come about ... We do not know. Amazon has graciously redeemed him. Best service! Then I re-researched and gained me this. I realized it's like night and day. The Cuisinart sandwich maker is worth every penny! He not only looks great, it also makes super great sandwiches. You can really put a lot between the slices of toast, there are also large slices or slices of bread into it, it sticks, no cheese on the skins on, you can remove the shells and put them in the dishwasher to clean. Super processing, no cheap plastic part, which first has to exhale its chemical stench. Could not be better! The infinitely adjustable heat is also top. You can tell the British are familiar with sandwiches and know what you need for this. I have so far only toasted sandwiches with it, on a YouTube video you can see what you can do with it yet, for example. The toaster also has a great size, he looks in the photos as I find taller than he is. Just buy it !!!!
