--- OVERVIEW ---
It was after our cheap £5.99 toaster failed us after 3 months (not surprising given the price) that our household decided to heavily invest in a new toaster. Having to wait for toast as the old one only did two slices a go was at times frustrating, now the merits of a four slice toaster are great as the toast now seems to flow quicker than you can eat it, no one in our house now has to wait for toast.--- PRICE ---
Retailing at roughly £45 pounds it's not too bad for a four slice toaster, you can find it for a couple of pounds cheaper with a bit of shopping around. Its certainly at the lower end of the toaster market. We got ours from Argos for £48.50 when it had just come out. Alternatively you can buy 8 cheap 'disposable' toasters which we could have done and have several each and look quite greedy!--- STYLE AND FEATURES ---
There's the obvious four slice feature, however there's more. It's adaptable enough to fit not just toast but less conventional breakfast sustanance such as crumpets, which are considerably wider, so whether its thin or thick slice bread there's no trouble in fitting it in the machine. Additionally there's the "frozen" button feature which allows for, well frozen bread to be toasted, not that it wasn't possible to toast bread from frozen anyway but i'm sure it helps in the process.In terms of style like many household appliances and electronical gadgetry these days the designers have gone with the retro look giving it old style 'aircraft ' knobs and dials. It has a matt silver finish to it which is meant to help prevent finger marks and appears to work, sadly it does'nt stop jam and butter from sticking to it.
--- QUALITY ---The toaster is not rock solid but sturdy enough to take a few bangs so take due care. It provides evenly and constantly well toasted bread, but be careful not to knock the heat level control as it moves quite easily and you'll end up with burnt toast. In all, its quality of toastiness is high and we have now come to take our beloved toaster for granted.
--- CONCLUSION ---If you have a large kitchen and a large family or just particularly like toast lots this is a much recommended buy. I can't tell you its durability as i've only had it for about a month, but for that period there has been no problems. Its stylish, well priced, reliable so far and above all providing four slices at a time, bring on the toast.
--- SPECIFICATIONS ----Retro style 4 slice stainless steel toaster
-Exclusive matt silver paint finish will not show finger prints
-Variable browning control
-Variable width bread slots
-Can operate 2 slots independently
-Self centering system for even toasting
