- Good points:
- Easy to use. You can select 2 or 4 slices. Makes perfect toast every time (when you find right setting for you). If things start to burn you can raise bread quickly and easily. It's early days yet, but so far we are really pleased with it.
- Bad points:
- It's quite ugly to look at. If you forget to lower the bread it just burns the bottom edge. Some of the wheatgerm, oatmeal breads are quite thick sliced and they can be difficult to get in. Trial and error to find correct setting that suits you, so you can burn a few slices at first, but once you find right setting (usually around 2) just stick to it and you'll get perfect toast every time.
