Advantages: Nice idea for kids, plays nice tune, gets them eating breakfast.

Disadvantages: No crumb tray, only 2 slices can be toasted, bit pricy

We bought the Disney Two Slice Toaster a month ago. It was purchased for the kids, just to make breakfast time more fun for them.

*Product*
It is just like any other toaster but totally dedicated to Mickey Mouse. It is a compact size. On the front of the toaster you have a heatproof metal covering and the sides are made of bright red plastic. It has non- slip feet which encorporates ease of use.

*Features*
Main aim of the toaster is every time you toast pieces of bread you will end up with the smiley face of Mickey Mouse on the front of the toast.

When the toast is ready a catchy tune is played to let you know that the toast is done! On the carriage lever there is also the outline of Mickey's face.

The toaster also has a dial for you to change according to how brown you want your toast to be.

*Improvements that could be made to product*
You only get Mickeys face outline on your toast, it would be even better if there were a few more characters faces also like Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse etc. If by some way they could incorporate more toasting plates and so you could change them to whichever character you like on any particular day.

They have not included a removable tray to catch breadcrumbs. this does make cleaning the toaster a bit difficult as you have to turn it upside down to get all the crumbs out.

*Recommended?*
It is a nice idea if you are an avid Mickey Mouse fan so for kids it is good. For the parents however you may not want Mickeys face on your toast every day so if you are like us then you will have two toasters in the kitchen!!

Also another point to add would be Mickeys magic does not last that long only until you actually spread the butter onto the toast.

They have all sorts of kitchen appliances included in this range. There is the Smoothie maker, Waffle maker, Ice Cream maker and Pop corn maker.

*Does it get the kids enthusiastic about cooking?*
Yes, I found that my kids want to make their own toast in the morning, they want to be more involved and they do finish all of their breakfast so you can't complain.

*Value for Money*
It is a bit pricy, we bought ours for £24.99. As I said before if you will need two toasters and keep this just for the kids use then it is expensive. I think that because it is a Disney product it is expensive otherwise you would be sure to buy something like this for £10.
Also My kids are under 5 so they are interested in the toaster now but when they get a little bit older I do not think they will be. The toaster will probably be in the attic somewhere!!

Summary: Can you stomach Mickeys face on your toast everyday?
