The 180-degree opening safety is defective and does not unlock, resulting in one base breaking with little pressure. It broke on the first day. It was returned.
I am coming back as after the replacement, the new one seems normal in its use and is as user-friendly as I would expect. Let's see about its durability in use.

The build quality is poor, almost unacceptable, and it is connected to poor design in some areas. I won't go into details, but it has broken in two places and not due to mishandling. The plastic parts were tightly screwed to the metal part from the construction, resulting in tension and very little tolerance from low-quality parts. A screw that simply holds the rotation of the top plate keeps coming out and needs to be screwed back in (they haven't used any thread adhesive). Also, the plate, although quite non-stick, has dark marks from grease, etc. in the shape of the resistors after some use. It is good for toasting, but overall, I would not recommend it after 11 months of use. Unfortunately, it would have been better if I had spent 20-30€ more. The previous Delonghi I had, with an initial value of ~60€, lasted me 7 years. Choose another one with several reviews in the same price range.

Very good for its value. It toasts the sandwiches quickly and with the support scales, it doesn't flatten them. It heats up quickly but you need to find the right temperature on the thermostat setting for the desired result.
The downside is that the plates don't come out, but if you pass a paper over it after cooking, it cleans immediately and nothing sticks.
