Video at Amazon.com See The Toaster is a total of one round thing. Personally, I find it visually appealing than some advance what the competition delivers - ok, the outer skin is made of plastic, but still touches his pleasant - thanks cool touch it does not get hot during operation. The toaster is sure to its 4 rubber feet and offers various operating modes (see below). In addition, a wire attachment is, which one can make it up to aufzubacken eg buns. Otherwise, he has a toast mode (of course), a thaw mode and a stage to heat toasted again. I've tried with normal toast and you can see that the toaster has a lot of power - toast was very brown already at stage 3 of 7 - to my measurements, it provides 880 watts. Also convenient is the crumb tray, you can pull out the side. All in all a good all round toaster, which has all the essentials (I think!) And also brings a good value. Therefore 5 stars.
