Although my old Swan toaster was still working well (after 10 years plus) I wanted to update it. It took me a while to settle on this one but am pleased I did. It's deep enough for a large slice of bread and once you get used to knowing what setting to put it on for various breads (that's obviously a very personal choice)it does a good job. The bagel setting works well by toasting the inside surface more than the outside. As other reviews say it works better if both slots are used, as if only one slice is being toasted it sometimes toasts one side more than the other but I just turn it over and redo on the lowest setting. I don't find that a problem although some people might. All in all it's a good looking item that works to my satisfaction.

Firstly we have to realize that toasters, as a breed, are ill-tempered and bad-mannered machines. Without naming any makers, I have had one in the past which insisted on toasting the bread either pale beige or black, as the mood took it, one which assumed that all slices of bread were only 4" tall and one that trapped the bread in the slot and then set it on fire.
Bearing that in mind, this toaster does a reasonable job. It is fine when toasting two slices - a setting of 5 gives relatively evenly, well toasted bread. When faced with one slice it rebels - you have to reduce the setting and then it toasts one side lightly and one side quite dark. I have found that the solution to this is to set it to a low setting, wait for it to pop, reverse the bread and then let it pop again.
Why one should have to do this is beyond me. Why can't they fit a 1/2-slice switch to prevent the unused slot heating up and affecting the active slot?
Having said this, it does a much better job than my last toaster, which consistently produced toast resembling a piebald pony. I don't think I will find anything better, without spending a lot more.

A Which? best value buy which lives up to its name. A little slow but good even browning and capable of toasting bagels, muffins and such like. One word of warning - do allow 30 secs between consecutive toastings and turn the browning control down by 1/2 a segment, otherwise your smoke alarm will activate! A tidy and useful kitchen aid.

Worth it if you like your toast
Probably a little slow as toasters go, but its toasting is even and reliable, so worth the money if you are a toast-a-holic.

Burning Issue
This toaster is very smart to look at and well designed. However it is very difficult to fix a setting to get perfect toast every time. It either burns the bread or undercooks it. Read more
