I bought my Mickey Mouse toaster about 6 months ago from a TV shopping channel for about £22.00. As a big Mickey fan I liked the idea of waking up to a cheery Disney tune and eating toast with Mickey's smiling face on it.

The Mickey Mouse toaster has two big selling features. It tells you when your toast is cooked by playing an extract from the 'Mickey Mouse March,' and also leaves an image of Mickey's face on one side of your toast.

The majority of the toaster is constructed out of stainless steel. The main body is reflective, and its ends are bright red in colour. The toaster's lowering lever is decorated with a red plastic Mickey Mouse head. It has a plastic dial to vary the colour of your toast, a plastic cancel button and a crumb tray which can be removed to aid cleaning. The toaster stands on four non-slip plastic feet.

I found the internal mechanism that raises and lowers the bread to be poorly constructed. It has thin metal arms which have a tendency to bend and become misaligned. When this happens your bread can get stuck. Having previously associated the Disney brand with quality products I was surprised by this design flaw.

Thanks for reading and rating my review.
