Good points

Good Points

  • Good at toasting frozen bread.
  • Excellent at toasting a single slice of bread.
  • Very easy to clean crumb tray, rated excellent.
  • The entire toaster uses analogue controls so the browning control is a timer and the carriage is a manual lever separate from the browning control.
  • High-quality metal build with 5 year parts and 10 year labour warranty. The toaster is designed so that small parts can be serviced and replaced.
Bad points

Bad Points

  • Poor at producing the same toast colour cycle after cycle.
  • Very poor score for browning evenly.
  • Poor at toasting multigrain bread.
  • Some particular surfaces are a bit difficult to clean.
  • The toaster is designed to maintain heat which results in the first run taking significantly longer than consecutive runs thereafter. Manual states u0022After your first slice, your toaster will reach optimal temperatureu0022 meaning you may not get the most out of the toaster if you only need to toast one or two slices.
  • Very simple design puts more emphasis on the users ability than relying on the toaster and or finding a setting and leaving it there forever. There is also no frozen setting which the manual recommends to use u0022room temperature breadu0022.
  • Bread carriage is quite narrow.
