Advantages: Reliable mechanically, looks good, thickness variation good
Disadvantages: Toasting ability

...I bought this toaster last year following the re-decoration of my kitchen, so I wanted to go with the traditional old fashioned cream theme and this toaster fitted the criteria perfectly (looks wise). The Delonghi toasters are a very well known stylish brand, they look good and come in either two or four slot versions, mine is the four slot toaster. Well things started off well and bless its little cotton socks it has never let me down mechanically, even after the barrage of knives forks etc.. that have been poked into it to get crumpets and the such like out (yes I know you shouldn't do it but we all do) but the same cannot be said for how well it actually toasts my bread. There are two dials on the side of the toaster on the four slot to enable you to alter the browness of your toast, but I must say that these are absolutely useless... Read review

Advantages: Compact Design, 2 Heat Settings, Normal Cool Air Fan & Safety Feature
Disadvantages: None

...The Delonghi HTN 2033 is an electric fan heater, I usually keep this in the garage for those cold evenings when im trainig. The heater has power of 3kw and can also be used for the summer as the heater function can be turned off so the unit acts as a cool air fan. The heater has 2 heat settings one mild the other full heat and has a auto switch of function via a thermostat for safety purposes. So if the unit is accidentally covered the heater will automatically switch off. The main features of the heater are listed below: - 3kw heat output - 2 heat settings - Thermostat - Cool air facility - Frost protection - Overheat protection The Delonghi HTN 2033 is a compact heater and can be placed neatly anywhere.

Advantages: Stylish, sexy, contemporary
Disadvantages: No stamina, lacks performance, expensive.

...I bought one of these stylish, sleek kettles back in the year 2000 when I moved into my new house. If this kettle was a person it would be a sex god with it's posh, come turn me on look and at first, all seemed well - it looked great and visitors always commented on how nice it was but looks can be decieving. Along with a lot of things in life, the best looking option isn't always the best option !! You can't knock DeLonghi for their contemporary design or stylish range of kitchen products - trouble is the performance can't match up. First of all, the two pilot lights just fell out. Other problems I had were the top not going on properly, the kettle switching itself off before it had boiled (premature brewing) and finally the fact it kept blowing fuses. The kettle ceased to exist when it exploded for some inexplexible reason - I assume... Read review

Advantages: Easy clean system
Disadvantages: Not the cheapest

...We bought our first deep fat fryer about four years ago, and it ended up in a cupboard about three years ago. The good thing about these is that they cut down on smell & fumes, but they can be VERY difficult to clean! Those decorative grooves might catch your eye in the shop, but wait until you have to clean the thing. The DeLonghi EasyClean (model number varies according to what colour you choose, where you buy it, etc) is an excellent exception. Not only is the exterior smooth and free of unnecessary crevices, but it also has a unique system, consisting of a small rubber hose built into the base. Just flip out the hose, turn the tap and the oil will empty into your container; then wash it & rinse it, again using the hose to drain. That may not sound very exciting, but if you have used other brands you'll know what I'm talking about... Read review

Advantages: Good looks, easy clean, pours nicely
Disadvantages: Tricky to fill, noisy when boiling

...Delonghi Kettle KBX4145 A very stylish, good looking kettle. The mottled steel makes it easy to keep looking good, unlike polished steel kettles which tend to be prone to smears and limescale marks. The design of the base makes it easy to put the kettle on and take it off from any angle (ideal if you are left handed). The spout has been carefully thought out so that it pours nicely too. If, like me, you tend to fill your kettle through the spout then you may find the triangular shape of the spout a bit difficult to fit under the tap. What's worse, if you live in a hard water area then you will have to fill through the spout after a couple of weeks because the lid of the kettle becomes glued shut! The kettle tends to be noisier than most when it boils, and it takes longer to boil than other kettles - I presume this is because... Read review

Advantages: well priced, very easy to use
Disadvantages: steam arm is temperamental

...I bought the Delonghi EC330S after realising I was slowly emptying my bank account paying for numerous Starbucks' every week (even more after they opened one a two minute walk from my flat). Definite plus point in its appearance, it looks stylish and fits in well in modern kitchens especially. It does make good coffee, and although you need to warm the machine up, once you're used to doing this it really isn't a hassle. Although the previous reviewer recommended stocking up on pods, I would advise anyone to either buy coffee beans and a grinder or buy fresh coffee ground for espresso machines, as pods don't really make the most of having a machine such as this. A disadvantage of having this product are the steam arm is very temperamental and sometimes just doesn't emit much steam (despite being thoroughly cleaned). Also, if you want... Read review

Advantages: Attractive, stainless steel. Good looking stainless steel microwave.
Disadvantages: Door glass is a bit on the dark side.

...We had an expensive Panasonic microwave which broke down shortly after the warranty ran out. As this was the second such model to suffer an early demise we decided not to pay a premium for another Panasonic and go for a cheaper model with similar features. The reasoning being that having been bitten twice at over £250 a time we would not lose so much if a cheaper model broke down. After a search we purchased the Delonghi AC930, although it did not have as many bells and whistles as the Panasonic it had all the features we would need including grill, and convection/combination cooking. This model is apparently exclusive to Argos and was priced at £129 in the catalogue, however, we were pleasantly surprised to find it on special offer at £79 when we went to purchase it. We have been using it continually for over three months and, having... Read review

Advantages: Very stylish and easy to use
Disadvantages: Slightly expensive

...The Delonghi EN 680 Latissima Nespresso can create a more or less perfect cup if espresso. It is completely unique with it's patented extraction to aid the flow of water through the ground coffee. Nespresso's specially designed coffee-filled capsules are used to give the unique taste you only get with Nespresso. A bit pricey at £300 but certainly a long term investment. Style The Latissima Nespresso is very stylish (see picture) and is a great add to any kitchen. The silver and black frame works very well together and the buttons make the machine very high tech when it is actually very easy to use. Ease of Use The Latissima Nespresso is very easy to use, just as easier or maybe even easier than other espresso makers - simply insert a capsule and the machine does all the work for you. After brewing is completed... Read review

Advantages: Sexy, sleek design so looks good in your kitchen
Disadvantages: Very noisy, could probably wake the neighbours if put on in the middle of the night

...I got this kettle as a wedding present along with the matching 2 slice toaster. I already had a Delonghi cappuccino maker so I felt I knew the brand and could trust this when adding it to my wedding list. First impressions are that it looks good, it's heavy and real metal as opposed to those nasty silver plastic kettles and it's a simple but elegant design. Theres no indicator on the outside to tell you how full it is, you check inside and there is a max indicator on a piece of steel on the inside so it is easy to tell when filling it up how much water you need in, also I think that had they put the indicator on the ouside they may have spoilt the simpleness of the design and it might not have looked as good as it does. You fill it by taking off the lid which can sometimes be a bit stiff to take off, filling it up... Read review
