Full review

I find toasters to be a bit of a pain and when my last one failed I was keen to find one that did the job well and looked as though it would do so reliably for a good deal of time.

The Delonghi has lived up to its promise for over a year now and I have absolutely no hessitation in recommending it to anybody.

It has a number of features that I find important -

It takes both thick and thin bread.

It has deep slots.

It can cope with one only slice.

It can cope with frozen slices.

The controls are easy to use.

There is a facility to eject slices ahead of time.

There is a device for lifting slices to avoid the need to go digging about in the slots.

The toaster is easy to keep clean and always looks well even if it seams a bit unnecessary to have the brand name embossed in big letters on the side.

I trawled the market and found John Lewis to be as good as any at about £34.50. Not much price variation anywhere.
