Shopping for a toaster can be a dry experience. There is very little to separate the majority of toasters on the shelves and so making a decision can be difficult. I would hazard a guess that most toasters are bought solely for their appearance rather than on the back of any in-depth analysis of their toasting features. My toaster was bought on this very premise; it looked good and it said it toasted bread. Perfect! I was also partly swayed by the big name brand on the box - Tefal - which instilled confidence in me that this toaster wasn't going to be a disappointing failure and one that would have me back in my local Comet store a few days later crying foul ...  Read the complete review

With five of us at home there is just no point in getting any less than a four slice toaster, but I seemed to be buying a new one every two to three years which was starting to add up. Then about four years ago I bought the Tefal Avanti deluxe four slice toaster and its still going strong. Amazingly in this time not even a wee knob has fallen off or a piece of writing rubbed off. I was firstly attracted to the look of it, its really futuristic with its curvy slanted build and silver and black body. The deal maker was the fact that Amazon were doing it for £19.99 with free delivery and I had seen it in the local cookware shop at £39.99. There are ...  Read the complete review

I'm not the kind of person who replaces electrical items unnecessarily, so our toaster has been a fixture in our household for around four or five years now and will continue to be used until it gives up the ghost. This is no mean feat considering that we are a family of five and, between us, make toast on pretty much a daily basis - if not at several points during the day- so this toaster has certainly been put through its paces. This Tefal Avanti Deluxe was originally purchased from Argos for around the £30 mark, which was supposedly a big reduction on the full recommended retail price at the time. Given the size of our household, this four slice toaster is ...  Read the complete review

I have been using the Tefal Avanti Delux toaster for about two years now. Overall I would say it is a pretty decent toaster but there are some flaws with it. First of all it's pretty easy to use. There are a few standard buttons that either cancel your toast or make it pop early. There is a defrost button also that to be honest I don't always use. You can toast four pieces of bread at once with this toaster which does come in handy. However as with most toasters for some reason you can't if a large slice in, if you use Warburtons there is always a little bit sticking out at the top which I do find rather annoying. There are two knobs which you use to set ...  Read the complete review

There was trouble in the kitchen; I was fed up constantly filling the toaster and being the last to get a slice. Nobody in our household has just one or two slices of bread, Hunger lot! The food order is nearly always three slices to go with the baked beans or scramble egg; my two-slice toaster just couldn't cope. After the discovery of theTefal four slice I have never looked back. I have had this machine for a number of years (so I am another happy user) and it is always in use. Apart from the obvious use of browning four slices of bread at once it is possible to brown one, two or three slices at a time. The model Avanti Deluxe, my machine, has ...  Read the complete review
