Hinari SW191 Green

Advantages: Simple to use and makes a great toastie!
Disadvantages: Sometimes gets a bit messy

...This piece of equpitment might be very basic but is very effective. I remember the days when i used to have to put two slices of bread in a toaster wait on it whilst cutting slices of cheese then eventually placing the cheese so it covers all of the bread then either sticking it in the microwave or putting it under the grill and getting the timing right so the cheese is melted but not burnt. It was a right pain just to get a good toastie. Then i discovered the HINARI LIFESTLE toastie machine, it was given to me from my grandmother as a present one christmas, and when i first saw it i though..."what a bloody pointless thing to give me when i have perfectly good taoster that does the same thing at home".

...I have been living my boyfriend now for about six months. When we were preparing to move in together we had a lot of appliances to buy. After we’d got the house nearly sorted we went to Tesco one evening and picked up some smaller electrical devices, things like the iron, etc. While we were there we spotted some sandwich toasters, obviously we nearly bought the Tesco Value one but then we saw the Hinari SP275, not like the old sandwich toasters, it was just to hot plates?! I ummed and ahhed for a few minutes as it was more expensive, but then it looked great and for £19.97 I couldn’t really argue besides which it was already in the trolley. So, we brought the toaster home, unpacked it and found it a place on the kitchen worktop. To be honest after this I forgot about it for a few days but when I came home one day and my boyfriend had...
