Delonghi Metropolis CTM4023

The Delonghi sleek and sexy toaster. My husband and I received this toaster for a housewarming present from my in-laws. (I believe it retials for about £40-£50.) We had just bought a new house so needed a nice new snazzy toaster. In fact the only reason in the beginning for selecting this Delonghi toaster was that we loved the way it looked. It has a very sleek and sexy design, it is curved at the front so looks very stylish and is a lovely gun-metal grey colour so it works well in any sort of kitchen. The knobs on it are a nice silver colour so they blend in well with the rest of the toaster and it looks really good quality not like the usual plastic ...  Read the complete review

--Background-- I used to do some work for a market research company. Every month, they awarded you points depending on the level of information you provided to them. After a few months of doing this research , I accumulated enough points to purchase this toaster. From memory it didnt cost too many points so I was expecting some low end mediocre toaster that would work for a few months and then start to decline. --Tour of the toaster-- The toaster is quite nice to look at and is predominantly grey with silver knobs, buttons and top toasting panel. Starting from the top, there are four slots for you to place the toast. These are used in ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this along with the metrpolis kettle from argos (see my other review there!). I've had it a few weeks now and overall I'm happy with my purchase. Its fairly pricey (you could probably get the same functionality for cheaper) but it looks great! The first thing you notice when taking it out the box is that its HUGE! I would make sure you have enough room in your kitchen to fit it as it takes up basically the entire width of the counter. It makes good toast, and give the toast high enough clearance so that you can lift your toast out easily without having to resort to turning it upside down! (like pretty much every other toaster ive ...  Read the complete review

As a student without a job, i'm not exactly flush with cash, and so eat alot of toast. When I left home I 'borrowed' my mums toaster, and it has served me, and my roomate pretty well. Rather more substantial than the average student toaster, it has, so far, survived pretty much everything including 'chocolate toast' where bread is soaked in milkshake and toasted (an idea which seemed great at the time, after a fairly heavy night). If it can survive that it can pretty much survive anything, and so must be reviewed positively. The sensitive heating settings allow 'highly customisable' toasting, or so an advert might say... Although this toaster doesn't really go with ...  Read the complete review

My wife wanted one of these and also the matching kettle. When I saw the price I really did drag my feet about getting one. Luckily for me her mum bought it for us as a moving in present. I must admit it does look great in the kitchen, but that's about it. I love toast in the morning, but the fact that I can have my cereal and make a cup of tea and still be waiting for the toaster to finish toasting my bread is wrong. It does have six settings, and trust me I always have it on the highest setting (6), but it takes an age. So if you want a nice looking kitchen appliance that will enhance the look of your kitchen buy it, but if you want toast in ...  Read the complete review
