Advantages: Good value, good performance
Disadvantages: Limited sized bread will fit in
I've been through my fair share of toasters in my time, and the most recent one I've owned is the Breville TT9 Chrome Coolwall.
Appearance
Well it has the standard 4 slice toaster dual slot set up, nothing special there, and it has a shiny crome main body, with black plastic ends and base. It looks pretty good, and wouldn't look out of place in any modern kitchen. Simple, but classic.
Performance
The level of browning can be controlled by the knob on the side of the toaster, and with evenly shaped breads, it provides a good evenly toasted result. It heats up quickly and produces your toast in a couple of minutes on average. If you think that you've given bread too long, you just hit the cancel button and the toast pops out. You can also raise the toast out of the toaster even higher by pulling the lever on the side up, which lessens the chance of you burning your hands taking the toast out. It also helps if you've put too large a slice of bread in and the toast seems stuck. The high lift facility will come to your aid!
Other Info
It comes with a removable crumb tray, which easily slides out to be emptied every so often. The base has no slip feet to keep the toaster in place. The cord length can be adjusted to your own personal preference by wrapping it around the underside of the base. This provides a safe and tidy discrete alternative to excess trailing cable.
Price & Availability
You can buy this model for between 10 to 15 pounds if you shop well, and it's available from various electrical outlets.
Summary: Good toaster, that's good value, looks good. In conclusion, it's good.

Nar2 - 05/03/08 Can this toaster deal with frozen bread? Does it have any select heat settings, cool touch sides and generally light weight enough to shake over a bin? Most consumers do this to get rid of crumbs which dont fall on the slide out crumb tray. |
