Advantages: Its aesthetically pleasing
Disadvantages: God damm that timer

...I have been informed from friends and reviews on the Internet that Dualit toasters are the best toasters you can buy. Why? Because they have been making toasters since 1946, and apparently just because its expensive it is good. Also they are British, support the economy and all that. The toaster cost me £130 from Frasers in Glasgow. Style: The toaster itself is extremely aesthetically pleasing; it is highly polished stainless steel (which was perfect as all appliances in my kitchen are silver/chrome) with a crumb tray at bottom. There isn’t a browning feature, rather Dualit has gone for a timer. There is one other button, which switches the toaster from a 4 slice to a 2 slice so as to conserve energy. A handle at the base of the toaster is used to flip the toast up, it does not pop up as with other toaster’s. Size: This particular... Read review

...the grill, so when my partner came home from work the next day, off we went to Argos to collect the new toaster I had reserved online. The Cookworks KT800 2 slice toaster is sold in Argos for £4.48 and can reserved online for store collection or ordered for home delivery, although I chose to opt for store collection, as it is the only item I needed from Argos on this particular occasion. The Toaster/ My Opinion ----------------------------------------- The toaster comes in a cardboard box with pictures of the product on it and is keep in place in the box by cardboard supports to prevent damage in transit. The product is supplied with a plug as required by law and the plug has plastic covers to prevent damage and it damaging the toaster in transit. The toaster itself is rectangular and measures 9.75inches/25cms wide, 5.25inches/13.5cms depth... Read review

Advantages: 2 or 4 slice, independant toasting
Disadvantages: none yet.

...I've had this toaster for 6 weeks, purchased from a high street electrical retailer. I didn't intend to pay this much for a toaster, as my previous one had been a two slice basic, thing, that only lasted 18 months. This toaster takes anything we toast bagels, crumpets, cheese scones, and bread of all thicknesses. The fact that my husband likes things just cooked, and I like well done toast and crumpets, makes this toaster perfect, I have my 2 slices turned up and he has his just on. The other great feature is the reheat without toasting which is great as we all get to answer the phone or the door just as the toast is done, then its gone cold, and if you retoast it would get burnt, but the reheat button just heats and doesn't toast. Cleaning is easy as at the back it has 2 separate crumb trays that slide in and out, also the edges... Read review

Advantages: High Lift Feature, Even Toasting
Disadvantages: No Vartiable Toasting Slots

...Having just finished my breakfast and at a loss for what to do today, I am going to review the very toaster that just moments ago provided me with 4 slices of golden and crispy toast. I have had The Swan ST7020 toaster for a few months now and I got it as part of a Swan kettle and toaster pack from the Littlewoods catalogue. The double pack cost me £49 and I am unaware of how much you can purchase the ST7020 toaster for on its own. The toaster itself has a stainless steel finish with a black plastic platform and also the control panel is on black plastic. It looks stylish and modern and fits nicely in the corner of my sideboard. The Swan ST7020 is a 4 Slice toaster with the option of toasting 2 slices or 4 slices as it is split into 2 sections, Each section able to toast 2 slices with its own push down lever. The toaster doesn... Read review

Advantages: Takes thick slices / crumpets / bagels etc, high lift, cool wall, easy to remove crumb tray, reheat button, warming rack
Disadvantages: Fairly short cable may cause some people a problem?

...the bottom of the toaster - a great improvement in comparison to my previous toaster which required the use of a screw driver to remove the crumb tray! It's also great to see a cool wall feature that really works - again, my previous toaster supposedly had this feature, and although the walls weren't red hot, they were still very warm and may have burnt a child had they touched it - with this toaster the walls stay much much cooler throughout the whole toasting cycle. All in all, I would certainly recommend this toaster and I hope it continues to function as it is doing now - for £14.99 with a 2 year manufacturers guarantee I'm certainly happy with my purchase. Perhaps the only downside is that the cable on the toaster is fairly short, which may cause problems for people who need a long lead on their toaster. The Europa 4 slice toaster... <
