Cheap in cost, materials of construction clearly cheap. From the first uses, the handle broke when I tried to close a sandwich. Later it worsened and completely left us the handle. It heats up immediately, very pleasant this. The toast is relatively crispy, and the cheese melts. The cooking is not uniform, but it never bothered me because if you find the rhythm, you turn them upside down. Nothing ever stuck, easy storage like all in this size. 3 stars due to plastic quality
