Pros: (1). It is easy to use. (2). The slots are wide enough for split buns and the slots are deep enough for UK Warburtons Sliced Bread.
Cons: (1). The performance can be erratic which means that the same sized bread slices with the same toaster settings can sometimes produce totally different toasting results. (2). The setting knob positions step change between the numbered settings positions instead of allowing a smooth gradual settings adjustment inbetween the numbered positions (3). The setting dial screens are hard to see.

I bought this as have been shamed by my daughter who thinks I’m cheap so I bought one of the only brands she would buy for kitchen electricals. Is this better than something that costs a third of the price? No idea I do not work for which or wirecutter. I like that the dials appear accurate If you set both sides to the same setting the toast pops up at the same time. But the elements that heat the bread look the same type as any cheapo one. Only time will tell.

Love the matte finish. Great DeLonghi quality. I got the matching kettle too.

Wanted a toaster/kettle that would be aestheticly pleasing to fit with my kitchen decor as well as work well & hopefully have longevity. If you’re buying this, your buying it for the aesthetics, if not you’re best going for a cheaper run of the mill that will do the same job. Had it 2 weeks now and so far so good! I found for normal sliced bread, toast number 4 is perfect, light golden brown. It fits standard sliced bread no problems (just put it in sideways) and is wide enough for almost doorstop style bread. Haven’t used the bagel function, but have tested it and does only heat 1 side as advertised. Only negative is the levers are plastic, not metal as it looks. It a a shame as a toaster at this price/look would warrant finer details like this but still happy.

I have had this model twice previously but this time I went for the stainless steel (previously had black). It is a superb machine, which is why I keep replacing them with the same. (I put one on holiday cottage and the other one got dropped) I love the stainless steel wire knobs on the raising & lowering bars, I also love it really is a begel machine. Most others simply mean you can fit a bag in, this one actually has a facility to only toast on one side of the bagel/teacake etc. I am so in love with this toaster and when not in use it looks like it cost 3 times the price.

Look, if you’re super into your toaster buying, then you’ve probably already figured out that every toaster out there has bad reviews because they either fall apart, don’t toast bread evenly, or are just a general fire hazard. This toaster, while more expensive than a toaster realistically should be, is worth it. Not only does it make toast correctly – but it has not yet burnt my house down!
