Siemens TT91100GB - designed by F.A Porsche

Broke after 1 week of use

fantastic and safe , operates now for 5 years. best toaster and very safe. ahead of its time. like the 911 T , perfection in the development.

Rubbish X 100000

Do not buy - plenty of other great stylish toasters out there with durability, this is not one of them.

I was given one of these for my wedding along with the matching kettle.

Both broke within 18 months. I have since gone on to buy numerous replacements, but the toaster just broke AGAIN this week - This time I will not replace it!

What I don't understand is, surely all of the people who have bought these Porche items must have returned them numerous times to be replaced or fixed yet SIEMENS still DO NOT fix the problem??? WHY??? These items obviously have major defects.

Don't throw your money away on these gorgeous looking items, please read all the reviews and go for 5 star items.

Thanks

We are on our 2nd kettle and 3rd toaster, toaster just wont stay down or heat up. called siemens and complained they said they would look at it free of charge then quoted £100 to fix it. They even denied there is an inherent problem, hah we know different.

I have taken it apart now twice cant see whats causing issue so threw in the bin now. Siemens should be ashamed, companies should be in business to keep their customers happy not feel ripped off!!

I AM NOW ON MY FOURTH TOASTER ALL HAVING THE SAME FAULT AFTER 18 MONTHS THE ELECTRO MAGNET HAS GONE AGAIN AND NOW I AM WAITING FOR SIEMENS YET AGAIN TO LOOK AT IT AND SEE IF I AM GOING TO BE CHARGED FOR THE PRIVILIDGE I PAID £119.00 FOR THIS TOASTER AND WISH ID OF BOUGHT ONE FROM ARGOS FOR A TENNER MIGHT LOOK NICE BUT WOULDNT WASTE MY MONEY ON SIEMENS AGAIN

Great looking toaster but we have had so many problems with it - we are on our second now. The first we treated ourselves to with the kettle (never had any problems with the kettle)about four years ago - the mechanism that holds your croissant broke, the cover wouldnt work and the handle on the side got really stiff that you hurt your wrist trying to work it - we took it back to John Lewis within 18 months and got a free replacement. Now this one - again after 18 months - the handle is stiff and the sensor/programmer doesn't work - it doesn't know how to switch itself off which is slightly dangerous! I asked Siemens for help and they asked me to send the toaster with a £9 inspection fee and then they'd let me know the additional fixing costs!! They should offer a refund! So its now in a cupboard. Not a great toaster.And definately not value for money.

Bought the set , kettle, toaster, coffee maker and all show dont buy them if you want to use them. Toaster never toasted properly and now wont stay down, only manages to fit small bread.

A device which is basically an "electromagnet" retains the heating elements in the lowered (hot) postion till toasting is complete. This tiny bar eventually gets dirty through fine crumbs of bread becoming damp and then sticking to the metal, thus preventing the "electromagnet" from holding the heaters down. Because of our vastly exaggerated "safety" madnes, the screws in toasters are so designed that no ordinary "screwdriver" can open up the machine.

Does nobody realise that any housewife or CHILD can easily change fuses in an electrical plug, using an ordinary screwdriver?!?

Safety? Don't make me laugh.

I decided to buy the TT91100GB toaster because of its sexy outer body which houses the mechanics of what i can only describe as as being out of this world. I experimented in the first few months of purchase with different bread ranging from white all the way to brown (including best of both) also experimenting with different accompaniments. After weeks of testing i have found that cooking Kingsmill white thin sliced bread using Tesco value Butter is close to heavenly. Cook at 4.5. Once it has 'maxed out' as we say in the toasting industry push back down for a further 20 - 25 seconds. But why not just set it at 5 i hear you ask?. Well, It has been tried and tested by my specialists in the town of Prestwood, England that cooking these specs at 5 can cause disastorous effects and will not delever the peak performance that this porsche is capable of. This is down to the heating coil located in the upper left quadrant of this particular model. Once it has maxed out the thermal resistor kicks into place, cooling the coil rapidly from a perfect 150 degrees celsius to the precise room temperature that it is placed in. I have recently been in touch with the chairman of the psychiatric department in the state of Mississippi, USA who has undergone tests that proves that 3 pieces of the above explained slices of toast can help a longer period of REM a night and cuts the risk of nightmares substantially. In conclusion, a brilliant model. Wonderful Design. In a league of its own and makes the best kind of company. yours sincerley J.Royds PHD MRPC CCNA CCNP CCIE TROOP

Althought his toaster was received as a gift, it was incredibly expensive for very poor toasting results. The slot is not big enough to fit a standard slice of bread and although the heating elements are susposed to toast evenly -they don't - ever! I have purchased far cheaper, more efficient and durable toasters than this one.

Looks nice though.
