Going on a budget with a brand I trust: Philips HD2566/10 Sometimes you just don't have a lot of money and you still want to buy nice things. I'm always looking for new things and my money is often gone before I realise it. Then I come to the point that I need to buy something that I almost use every day and decide that I don't want to spend a lot of money. I had this with buying a toaster. I do find it very important that it works and does a good job but didn't really want to spend a lot of money on it. So I came across a Philips HD2566/10 and even when I didn't like the way it looks, I thought with a Philips you can't go wrong! Right? A toaster is ...  Read the complete review

I'll be honest, i purchased this for cost rather than anything else. In comparison the the 'really cheap' toasters and other appliances it's actually pretty good, it's not totally flimsy and doesn't feel like it's about to break. The wider slots are great though, i was always fed up of squashing my hot cross buns into other toasters. Looks wise, it's ok, i keep it stashed away in a cupboard but if you're worried about things looking perfect it would be worth saving up a little more and getting something with a bit more style. It's a perfect toaster for someone on a budget - if you're a student, it's fantastic, i know we aren't the only household where the toaster is one .  Read the complete review

The toaster has extra wide slots which are handy for toasting buns and bagels, so you dont burn your fingers grabbing the toasted items out!

It comes with the usual cancel/ stop buttons and a little area to catch the crumb trays, which is good but its a bit hard to pull out and when you do the crumbs have a tendancy to go flying around the kitchen!!! Its a good toaster if your looking for one that does the job and isnt too pricey. Its mid quality and will look ok in your kitchen. Im happy ...  Read the complete review

The HD2566 does its job - it toasts bread - but other than that is a disappointed and can't say that I would go for a Philips product so open minded as I did. I have had Philips toasters before. This product really has a cheep feel to it. This machine burns my toast on level 2 if a toast it a second time half way through. Level 2 should be just touching a slit tan. I have burnt my finger twice getting the toast out of the slit because the toast is sunk in ½ inch deeper than other toasters. The metal cover on top gets really hot. This is really dangerous for sleepy, older or unaware people. It has a 2 year guarantee but I probably will get me a new one after just have ...  Read the complete review
