We have had the Phillips HD2603 toaster for several years. It is a traditional type of toaster, stainless steel with a cream trim and is slightly retro looking. It has a warming rack, two extra wide slots with variable slot width , defrost function , one side toasting and a cancel button. I have never used the warming rack, the extra wide slots and the one side toasting, are useful if you like to toast teacakes, crumpets etc. The defrost function is very useful if you have forgotten to take the bread out of the freezer. The dial on the front has seven settings for how well done you like your toast plus reheat, which is handy if someone interrupts you .Why does the phone always ring as you are making your toast ? The stainless steel seams to be very good quality, as it cleans up better and stays bright and shiny, with far less effort than any other items I have in the kitchen made of stainless steel. My son complains that it does not get his toast brown enough, as he likes it well done to burnt , I don’t have a problem with it myself as I just like my toast golden brown and find it works well for me.

Our toaster has recently departed to 'toaster heaven' (i don't know what we do to the things, they never seem to last more than 6 months!). This looks & sounds like a nice replacement, I like my toast golden too!
