Features of Morphy Richards Besta Black 18L

The instruction manual, while not detailed, but is enough to get you started. This OTG does not have an inner chamber light, which is a letdown.
• Build quality – This OTG has an average build quality. The outer metal is prone to dents. The accessories, on the other hand, are quite well-made. The crumb tray is solid and has an anti-stick paint.
