When me and My husband got married, we didn't yet have a home together. So we decided to have a traditional gift list so that we could start building up items for our new home together. As well as generously being gifted with items from our gift list, some guests gave us vouchers to spend in some of the bigger department stores, so after we got settled into our new home, we set out to buy some more gadgets for our home. I am someone who enjoys luxury items, especially for the home, and my husband often has to bring me back to reality when it comes to purchasing what should be 'basic' items for the home. Needless to say, when I started looking at DeLonghi ...  Read the complete review

Most of my favourite snacks involve toasted bread in some form, whether it is cheese on toast, beans on toast, a toasted sandwich or simply toast with butter and jam on top. (Now I've made myself hungry!) I find the aroma addictive and if I smell someone cooking toast, I have to have some myself too. Because I love toast so much, I wanted to splash out on a fancy toaster. In the past I have bought a few toasters created by Morphy Richards and no matter what size or thickness the bread is that I have bought it, it never seemed to properly fit in the machine. So this time I decided to get a special one. The De'Longhi Icona CT0443 in Scarlet Red ...  Read the complete review

OK, it's going to be difficult to write a review on a toaster - especially one that cost me about £70 - without sounding a tad materialistic. And maybe a bit sad. But let's face it - you're looking at this toaster because it's red, and you want it to go with your red kitchen appliances! So you've already established you like how it looks - the classy glossy-red finish, the retro styling, mmm... - but can you really justify spending the price, especially when the supermarkets are knocking out 4-slice toasters for a fraction of the price. Well, I'm here to tell you that, aside from the aesthetics, it actually is a very good toaster... Firstly, it has ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this De'Longhi Icona toaster with a matching kettle. It wasn't part of a deal per se, but I believed they would complement each other perfectly - and this is exactly what they do. Starting with a bit of description as to what the toaster offers, it is designed to toast four slices at once, gives the choice of six different browning levels (so whatever type of toast you like, you can achieve this rather easily) and has a crumb tray to prevent your kitchen surfaces from being covered by, well, crumbs obviously! Considering I'd never owned a toaster before I bought this a while back, I was surprised that it had as many features as it did. From being ...  Read the complete review

** De'Longhi Icona CTO4003 ** My beautiful red toaster. I love the colour red and many things in my kitchen are red as I think it looks so pretty on the black worktop. I think a toaster is really a need in the kitchen and I can't imagine not having toast for breakfast anymore. I find plain bread just so boring. With my little family a toaster with 2 slots is just not enough so we have the De'Longhi Icona CTO4003. ************************************************** What I love about this toaster is that it's so beautifully stylish. It has this beautiful colour red combined with this silver colour and then black on the bottom. It looks very ...  Read the complete review
