   Perfect, and brilliant as you can set how dark you want the toast on both settings

   The grill on my cooker has broken, so I bought this as a ‘quick fix’ for making toast. I’ve had a few toasters over the years but the Mrs has broken all of them by forcing breadcakes into the slots, which in turn set on fire and destroyed the elements. Thankfully this has nice wide slots (but still not wide enough for breadcakes!!) and fits most regular sized slices. It grills them relatively evenly and there are separate adjustments for each side (like 2 toasters). You can also re-heat toast. Blue LED strips light up when in use, which looks good. The metal finish looks great but picks up fingerprints easily (as expected). It’s easy to clean the crumbs out by ejecting the trays at the bottom. The only problem we’ve had, is the flex is really short. I tend to pull it out from underneath the kitchen cupboards when in use, but it doesn’t come out very far. Other than that, I really like the toaster and it’s been a good purchase.

   I ordered this with the matching kettle. Kettle is fab. However, this toaster is not fit for purpose and was returned very quickly.

   The main function of this in my eyes is to toast bread. However a standard size piece of bread ‘sticks out of the top’ of the slot when cooking and it means that it actually only toasts 3/4 of the piece of bread. I wish I’d got a picture before I returned this item as it’s quite comical really how a design can be so bad – how hard can designing a toaster be!? But this is just plain silly and not something you can discover before you’ve used it.

   Overall the style is nice, however another con is that it’s sold with a matching brushed stainless steel kettle. All very well if you place your toaster side-facing as only the back and sides are brushed steel – the front is completely non-brushed stainless steel – so the bit you actually see if you have the knobs side facing the front does not really match and once you notice that it’s quite hard to ignore! I like the design but it doesn’t really work as a matching set.

   The knobs are quite small and the icons (displaying the different functions) are also very small so you’ll find yourself peering down to see what they are – not a problem over time once you learn what they are but bigger knobs/indicators would also have been welcome (and there’s nothing matter with my eyesight!)

   Also while I’m at it – the electric cable is also too short!!

   Overall for what I consider to be a mid-range toaster (I bought at £41.99) – these are all things you wouldn’t really expect.

   Aside from that, the light function is nice. Just not fit for purpose. A replacement toaster hunt continues for me.

   Bought this to replace a Russell Hobbs one and this is so much better. The slots aren’t particularly deep, so putting in a size vertically leaves the top untoasted. I always put the bread in on its side and it browns it so evenly.
   It is also so quick. There is barely enough time to boil a kettle it is so quick.
   The max setting is actually too much, whereas on most toasters max seems to be what’s needed to get a decent browning.

   So a basic enough toaster in that it doesn’t have loads of additional features, but what it does do, it does do extremely well.
   Worth every penny, and potentially should be more expensive for how well it works.
   One of the best kitchen appliances I’ve ever bought

   Really like it, works well, looks great and toasts nicely. Quite small toaster slots though so doesn’t handle larger loaves too well.

   Previously we had a Dualit 46205 4 Slot Lite Toaster. It was twice the price of this toaster and not a patch on it. Ours after less than 6 months broke down (well done Amazon for refunding the cost) and also the quality of toast was not good but this one is excellent. It works fast and also does an even toasting on both sides and unlike the previous one mentioned above the second toasting is not darker and inconsistent – this toaster “does what it says on the tin” – it is brilliant – on this occasion gettgin something twice the price definitely did not work. Looks good (including the blue light) and is easy to clean and appears well made. The top is easy to clean as there is no ridge for crumbs to go and subsequent difficulty for cleaning. Well done Russell Hobbs
