Advantages: Very cheap, seems reliable, makes toast..

Disadvantages: None

As always, when things break down, I am never in the financial position to replace them, ideally I would like to shop around, look online and buy a good brand named product at a brilliant price - a couple months ago my toaster, which I had been using for years just stopped working.
I needed to replace my toaster and had to pick up a new one quickly.

Whilst in Sainsbury's I looked in the electrical section and saw a toaster in their Basics range for £4.97 - at that price it wasn't worth shopping around elsewhere, so I bought it there and then.
It is bright white, easy to wipe clean, small and light

It does not have a variable size setting, so I wouldn't think that you could put any very thick bread, from a crusty loaf, in there - although I have no problems toasting hot cross buns or crumpets, along with ordinary sliced bread, of all sizes.
There is a variable time setting, a round dial on the side - up to 7 settings

It is a 2 slot/slice toaster
750 watts

Made from plastic and steel
1 year manufacturer guarantee

0.7 metre cable
size: 198 x 20 x 17cm

There is a slide out tray for disposing of all the collected crumbs
This can be bought from Sainsbury's in store, or ordered online.

I have only had mine for a couple months, so could not comment on the long term durability of this product, although with a years guarantee I am not overly concerned, especially when you consider that this toaster actually cost under £5
There is a 4 slice model too on sale, if you want the same thing, but slightly bigger.

I could have spent a considerable amount of money than I did on a toaster, but to be honest I don't see why you would bother, it is clean, new and it makes toast.
In summary, a cheap toaster that looks great and works perfectly

Summary: Seems pointless to spend considerably more money on something, when spending jusr under £5 will do
