Hinari CW890 (cheap is not always good)

Advantages: Limits what bread you can use.
Disadvantages: Has limited working life. Very poor product

I bought this toaster for my little sister for her moving in peasant as she recently got her own place. Anyways... it looked good, the packaging was flashy & with the reatures it had, you would think it would be a decent toaster. How wrong could I be? The complaints started to come in from my sis, not all bread fits in. She is having to cut off the crusts (the best part of toast I think) just to get it in. Then the day came when she bought crumpets. ...
...just do narrow. The only bread that would fit is ones that’s square & thin sliced. Now, that’s mainly the limitations on what you can put in it, but now the technical side. The first month or so was fine, but then the toast started to burn only in specific areas of the bread. The intensity of the burning grew over time until she had me take a look at it. I noticed the wire that’s wrapped around heat resistant card that gets hot to cook your toast, ...

Review of Hinari CW890

The competition is toast!

Advantages: Stylish look, nice price, perfect toast!
Disadvantages: None that I can see

I bought the Hinari mainly as it looked classy and was sturdier than most other toasters in that price bracket. (Many of the others had flimsy components reminiscent of a Heath Robinson contraption.) I decided that I wasn't going to spend more than £20, so was pleased when I came across this little gem for £15.99. (Did you know you can spend up to £150 on a 2-slice toaster? Madness!) It has a classic stainless steel look that would go in any kitchen ...
...the ears of wheat on.) The flex is an adequate length and the controls are accessible and easy to use. Most importantly, the quality of the toast is excellent. There is a 'browning contol' with settings between 1 and 7 and, unlike many other toasters, the setting seems to have some correlation with the end result! I have never got a piece of bread jammed in the toaster and never had any burning incidents either. It also copes well with frozen bread, ...

Review of Hinari TL102SS

A Matter of Loaf and Tefal

Advantages: stylish design and easy to use.
Disadvantages: the chrome top darkens after a while.

...October 2009 I bought a Tefal Two Slot Avanti Toaster, which cost £23.95 from the Amazon website. General information Tefal is a world wide brand originally from France. It is a leader in non-stick cookware, pressure cookers, electrical cooking appliances, food and beverage preparation, irons and scales. The toaster I ordered from Amazon is, to give it its full name, a Tefal TT704115 Avanti Toaster, 2 Slice, Chrome and Black. Compared to old toasters ...
...wrapped. Main features of Tefal TT704115 Avanti Toaster 1. High-speed function. Compared to ordinary toasters you can complete toasting at a shorter time. 2. Two Slots. Needless to say you can toast two slices bread at a go. 3. Two levers. The left lever starts the toaster. The right one is the hi-lift lever. It is designed for removing smaller-sized bread or rolls after the toasting cycle is completed. Mind you once the hi-lift lever is pushed ...

Review of Tefal Avanti Two Slot Toaster

I Can Get My Mufffins & Crumpets Out

Advantages: I could reach my muffins
Disadvantages: Grey bit on top

...I could reach them, so overall I'm happy with the Morphy toaster. The only thing which took away it's the 5 star rating I was going to give, is the grey bit on top, which I'm not that disturbed by but I think it would have lookd better white. ...

Review of Morphy Richards 44150 Essentials

Dualit - a design classic?

Advantages: lasts and lasts
Disadvantages: my toast isn't evenly toasted

...comfort food. This Dualit toaster is the one that has undertaken the morning toast ritual in my house since November 2002, I can remember our relationship starting then for various reasons, one being that it took me a while to save up the toaster, as well as to reconcile myself with the idea of spending £90, as it cost then, on a toaster. I was attracted to it I suppose due to its classic good looks and I had heard that Dualits lasted and lasted, ...
...to someone else, but my dualit love affair has had its ups and downs. I hope that my experience can be of use to anyone thinking of buying this toaster or one of its other incarnations - this toaster comes in a number of different colours. The price has remained pretty unchanged and though Dualit have brought out other cheaper toasters, this toaster is still widely available. About Dualit: As Dualit are proud to say, they are a British company, ...
