Delonghi F27201

Advantages: Removable lid which is dishwasher safe
Disadvantages: Everything else

...Perhaps in future I will refer to ciao reviews before purchasing anything. I have just learnt by my experience. Having just purchased a Delonghi F603 deep fat fryer, believing Delonghi to be a reputable company, I am appalled by this fryer. In fact the item I have cannot really be called a fryer. It takes over 15 minutes to preheat, even then not reaching a frying temperature, merely slight bubbling, resulting in warm soggy greasy potato pieces, rather than chips. Despite turning the temperature control to maximum, and setting the timer to 30 minutes, even a small piece of bread dropped into the oil does not even brown. Either there is a technical problem with the particular one I bought, or this product is totally useless. Straight back to the store with it. AND I WON'T BE GETTING ANOTHER DELONGHI F603....

Advantages: Takes Pods as well as Ground Coffee, has removable water tank, great value for money
Disadvantages: Won't take a mug, takes a while to warm up, pods not easy to come by

...The Delonghi EC330S is very stylish and would look good in any kitchen. I found the best thing about this machine is that it takes pods as well as ground coffee, and the water tank is removable so no need to take a jug to the tank to fill it up. The cup warmer is a pleasant addition. I am however disappointed that it won't take a mug, so a large cup is ideal if you want a cappuccino. Also it does takes a while for the machine to warm up, and the pods aren't that easy to come by in the shops, so stock up when you find them or buy them online. Overall this is a great mahcine for people who don't want to spend a fortune, or for the begginers as it is very easy to use. 9/10... Read review

Advantages: Stylish design but functional
Disadvantages: Seems to take a while to brown the toast

...I have just bought this toaster for the second time . . . . but that is a good thing! The first lasted an admirable seven years and it was used at least once a day, every day. I loved the design so much that I've just bought it again, for me nothing could match the style, reliability and value for money that Delonghi represent. Its very pratical with a dial for how well toasted you like your bread, cancel button, defrost setting and crumb tray. Its also easy to clean. The only downside for me is you have to turn the dial right up for a nicely browned piece of toast . . perhaps my bread isn't thick enough!... Read review
