In fairness, it's the third one I've had in my life, and I've only had it around a month but so far it is excellent, it has plenty of room for those chocca toasties, and a three-level lock on the lid so it doesn't have to be fully closed. It has a nice non-stick coating and heats up in around a minute. It's of solid construction and a great build, I'm sure it will last many years.
