This is my first experience with a quality high-end toaster and I really like the looks of the Zwilling Enfinigy toaster. I didn't think a higher priced toaster would make a difference compared to the old cheap toaster I had, but the experience was night and day...nice crisp toast to my darker shade of preference. The Enfinigy made perfect toast on the first go. As with most toaster, it's plug-and-play, or toast-and-go. I am very happy with my purchase!
