Unfortunately there are not many models on the market which fall under both. A few compromises you have to make at all, unfortunately more than 1,000 models, which I have flown over my time. Only One I naturally looked at me more closely. Did not want to study Toaster Sciences yes ;-)
So concretely to this toaster here:
The unit is made of brushed stainless steel and compared to many other toasters relatively heavy, but this is positive for me because I do not want that thing carry around, it is to be stable and are made to last.
Of course not for everyone 4x toaster, you can also find time only two toasts toast and with half the power requirement, as you can only apply for two of the slots all features of the toaster. Therefore, all controls are duplicated.
The special kick to the toaster is the lack of leverage to press down the toast, but in which one or the other toaster ever go broke kann.So with me before. Instead, the toast slots are motorized. This means that a key is pressed to start the toasting process, which then leads down the Toastgut in the toasting space and go to the toasting process automatically back up.
As with many other toasters now already belonging rigueur, you can take the toaster toast and bagels, in which only one side of each bagel is toasted, while the other is only heated. Furthermore, the toaster even cooled toasts reheating without more toast and defrost frozen bread before toasting and then. As I said, all of the functions for either two or four slots.
The remaining toasting time is represented on bar in practical digital display, which also displays the last selected degree of browning (7 levels) and stores. Again, each of the two toast pairs can be controlled by itself. So it is thereby possible to toast the left, for example, at level 4 and to the right at level 3.
Negative I find really only the insufficient thermal insulation for housing. The sides of the toaster (not the front of the panel) are toasting but very hot, so that young children could possibly burn here.
Conclusion:
+ Downright einzigartike motor function for recording Toast
+ All today's current special functions of toasters available
+ 4x toaster with separate operating options for 2 toasts save power and allow different settings
- Housing is very hot on the sides
Overall, I am very satisfied so far and will possibly revise again after a few months my review. For long-term use there are also a lot of very positive reviews on Amazon in the US.
