Advantages: Good value for money

Disadvantages: Toast colour controls seem too low

This is a good, basic and stylish toaster for everyday use and good value for money. The sleek shape and slightly retro 50s diner look to the controls means it looks good on a worksurface. And it works well too! Having had a run of "last for about eight months and then stop working" toasters, I have used this one daily for over two years and it is proving to be a lot more robust. The controls are easy, although one minor criticism is that I find the settings for toast colour are a little low - they run from 1-6 and I always have to set it at 4 or above to get medium colour on an average slice of bread. I don't use the defrost setting for bread but I do for thicker items such as crumpets or breakfast muffins from the freezer and it works well - toasting throughout without any sogginess that can sometimes happen with less efficient toasters. The handiest feature is the reheat button which I often use.

Summary: Stylish, reliable everyday toaster
