This toaster I ordered as a birthday present for my husband. Actually, he had his eye on a Kitchenaid toasters, but at the price I am turned almost backwards. By chance I met the Klarsein toaster and already the design has made me curious, the price is unbeatable anyway. Now after 3 months use I can say that this toaster is the hit. Not only the good quality but also during toasting the defrost and bagel function are awesome. We have catapulted ourselves from a two-slot Bluemchentoaster the present. I'm just thrilled ......
