Bush BTL411SIL 4 Slice Toaster Silver

Advantages: Its aesthetically pleasing
Disadvantages: God damm that timer

...I have been informed from friends and reviews on the Internet that Dualit toasters are the best toasters you can buy. Why? Because they have been making toasters since 1946, and apparently just because its expensive it is good. Also they are British, support the economy and all that. The toaster cost me £130 from Frasers in Glasgow. Style: The toaster itself is extremely aesthetically pleasing; it is highly polished stainless steel (which was perfect as all appliances in my kitchen are silver/chrome) with a crumb tray at bottom. There isn’t a browning feature, rather Dualit has gone for a timer. There is one other button, which switches the toaster from a 4 slice to a 2 slice so as to conserve energy. A handle at the base of the toaster is used to flip the toast up, it does not pop up as with other toaster’s. Size: This particular... Read review

Advantages: cheap and cheerful
Disadvantages: none

...by each catalogue I noticed that here had been a reduction from the set price of £9.99 pence to a great price of £4.99 pence. As most people do I like a bargain and I was looking forward to getting a toaster worth a tenner for half price. The toaster is capable of toasting two slices of toast at a time and boasts having a variable browning control, as most toasters have, but also the added bonus of a removable crumb tray and auto adjustable slot width. The voltage of the toaster is 230v, which works out to 800w. The voltage of the toaster is slightly higher than my previous one which meant that I had to get used to the bread cooking quicker therefore the browning control needed to be set at less than I am used to.

Advantages: Takes thick slices / crumpets / bagels etc, high lift, cool wall, easy to remove crumb tray, reheat button, warming rack
Disadvantages: Fairly short cable may cause some people a problem?

...the bottom of the toaster - a great improvement in comparison to my previous toaster which required the use of a screw driver to remove the crumb tray! It's also great to see a cool wall feature that really works - again, my previous toaster supposedly had this feature, and although the walls weren't red hot, they were still very warm and may have burnt a child had they touched it - with this toaster the walls stay much much cooler throughout the whole toasting cycle. All in all, I would certainly recommend this toaster and I hope it continues to function as it is doing now - for £14.99 with a 2 year manufacturers guarantee I'm certainly happy with my purchase. Perhaps the only downside is that the cable on the toaster is fairly short, which may cause problems for people who need a long lead on their toaster. The Europa 4 slice toaster... Read review
