Philips HD 2566

Going on a budget with a brand I trust: Philips HD2566 Sometimes you just don't have a lot of money and you still want to buy nice things. I'm always looking for new things and my money is often gone before I realise it. Then I come to the point that I need to buy something that I almost use every day and decide that I don't want to spend a lot of money. I had this with buying a toaster. I do find it very important that it works and does a good job but didn't really want to spend a lot of money on it.

Previously we had a toaster that was of this description in our old flat and it was very basic but yet did a good enough job of making all sorts of reasonable toast, from chewy through to crispy, according to the setting which is used. White in colour and retails at approximately £20 which is very cheap yet excellent for a toaster of this description. Will almost perfectly toast two slices of bread at once (or one slice if the purchaser prefers) and will take longer than the usual toaster. Will take approximately 3 minutes to toast the bread and this can feel like a long time if the purchaser ... more
