covering Bought from my local comet shop this russel hobbs toaster was a much needed appliance in our house. Since ours came with very little kitchen essentials we had spent over a year cooking our toast under the grill. I know what you're thinking why spend so long before buying a toaster when you can pick one up from Tesco for around a fiver. The fact is we'd never thought we'd really need one and since we won some vouchers for comet we thought we'd splash out on a fancy brand name one.
This toaster is pretty basic in fuction, it only holds two slices and works by pressing the lever down, you can adjust the power setting but only works if you set it before you press down the lever as the power number coresponds to how long it cooks for not how strong the bars heat up. Very useful feature as has defrost option if like me you like to buy reduced bread, freeze it and only use slice by slice as required.
The packaging it came is was pretty standard stuff: cardboard box, polystrene, bags and instructions. Although i don't think as much polystrene was required as was provided. I personally don't agree with damaging the environment with unnecessary packaging especially plastic based ones that take generations to decompose!
Instructions and guantee, comes with a 2 year russell hobbs warrenty does not include repairs and you have to fill out a form and post back. The instructions are pretty self explanatory, easy to read and come in lots of different lanuages. Also shows you how to re-wire the plug!
Nice little toaster and the best thing I like about it is the width of the slots, meaning i can toast thin, medium, toastie, super toastie bread as well as muffins, crumpets and fruit loaf! mmmmmmm...... all nice and buttery. Any way where was I.
Oh yes, So overall a 4 star rating although £14.99 is more for a two slice toaster you could buy from tesco, this comes with a russel hobbs guanntee as well as having the uber cool features of defrost and extra wide slots for tasty foods. Well worth the price in my opinion.
