Advantages: Nice crispy toast in a jiffy.

Disadvantages: Could go "bang!", but very rarely, I'm sure.

Since receiving this "British racing green" toaster as a wedding gift over 2 years ago, it has seen many slices of bread pass through its filaments, giving our family many rounds of tasty golden brown toast. Pikelets, muffins and pitta breads have also taken a grilling on the various heat settings this appliance has to offer. I find that somewhere between 3 and 4 gives the ideal setting, any more than 5 and you'll set the smoke alarms off and have the fire brigade round for breakfast.

It is a shame that only 2 slices can be toasted at once, and the thicker slices of bread don't fit in too well, though it does have a handy "defrost" feature. Particularly useful for students.

I have also had experience from Morphy Richards customer care, as about 6 months ago, the beloved toaster blew up! It had just toasted two slices of bread, popped them up and it went "BANG!" and a small spark came out of one of the filaments. I rang the Customer services department, who told me to parcel it up & send it back. As it was still well under guarantee, they sent me a brand new one, which, presumambly in this disposable society in which we live, is cheaper than repairing it.
