Morphy Richards Accents Toaster
Red
Ours was brought for £56.00
4 slice toaster

*Looks*

great looking toaster. My one is a lovely shiny metallic looking red. With chrom buttons and dials. It looks quite a robust toaster
that will withstand many years of use. It is quite long in depth, so I would allow more room for it than our standard 2 slice toaster.
It is more of a square shape than a rectangle.
It has a bit of a retro feel to it. It looks like it should be in a 50s diner rather than my kitchen! However, it is retro with a brilliant modern twist!


*Toasting Ability*

There are separate controls for each "pair" of slices" Each with a temperature setting, which in theroy is ideal to do
2 sets of toast for people with different tastes which is a bonus, especially if there is little time in the morning, with
multiple breakfasts to make with mulitple tastes.

This toaster seems to be a little bit temperamental
on heat setting 5 the bread comes out white. On 6 it comes out burnt. Regardless of the bread type it seems to fall
down on the most important function, however white toast seems to come out a little healthier looking than brown.
I like my toast to be toasted, but still thick and fluffy. Unfortunately, this toaster tends to dry the break out so much, that
the toast becomes like card board, you bend it and it crumbles into tiny pieces. However don't let this put you off, it all depends on
how you like your toast.

Another issue, is the fact that it doesn't hold residual heat very well, this makes the toast go cold really quickly. There is a button on the toaster, which
means you can warm your toast up if it has gone cold. However, I find this makes the toast even dryer. Quite dissapointing, as by the time i've spread one slice, the other is freezing cold!
Again, this is also down to how you like your toast. I like my butter to melt into the toast. If you like cold toast that the butter just sits ontop of, then this toaster might actually suit you.
I can't moan totally though, the fact that it cools fast may actually keep you and kids safe, the quicker it cools, the less chance there is of anyone putting their hand in to grab the toast and coming out with a nasty surprise (burnt hands)


*Summary of Advantages*

-Good Looking Toaster. Quality looking with a robust design.
-4 slice toaster. Quite good for the larger family, or for people who need alot of toast ASAP!
-Cools down quickly

* Summary of Disadvantages*

-It either burns bread or barely toasts it
-Makes bread become like crackers. where is the fluffiness?!
-Doesn't hold is heat well

*My Opinion?*

To be honest, I was expecting alot more from this toaster, lets face it, the price of it hardly screams Cheapo Value toaster, so what is with the cheapo value toast?
I do like the look of the toaster, and alot of how this toaster performs is down to interpretation. If you like the kind of toast this makes, then great! If not, then it's a bit useless really.
I thought the separate heat settings would go someway to change how the toast comes out, but alas, no.

I give this toaster 3 stars. It looses 2 for its all or nothing toasting, and it's cardboard like toast.
