Although not normally prone to writing reviews, the public needs warning about this one. We had the previous Avanti model, which was great, but it had to be replaced after an accident. This new model is a cheap plastic version of the previous one. The black that you see in the picture is a thin flimsy plastic, whilst the levers are silver painted plastic. Yes it makes it light-weight, so light-weight that if all four slices pop at the same time the toaster slides across the counter. Also, the high-lift function is ineffective and one side is already non-operational after seven weeks. It's one plus point - it toasts!
This product is an over-whelming disappointment after having its predecessor for several years. I would buy tefal again, but not mail order, or at least not until I was confident of the quality of the materials used in production. At 20 paces it looks fine, but does not stand up to close inspection.

We decided on this toaster after ages looking for one that did everything, and could toast slices of bread the size of Denmark, evenly. However, all these things are a compromise, and we thought this was best compromise. It has been brilliant. Fairly even browning, fairly quick, great to look at, and we are delighted. We had a problem with one bank of toast slots failing, but I emailed Amazon on the Monday, they replied to the effect that a new one was in the post, and by Wednesday we had it in the kitchen and working. They also arranged for the old one to be collected free of charge. Fantastic service! Well done Amazon. If you buy this you will not be disappointed.

For something whose function is so simple, it's remarkable how many duff toasters I have bought over the years. Usually the problem comes down to one of inconsistency; the dial may offer several settings for degree of toasting, but the effect varies depending on what you are toasting and how recently you last used the toaster. There are high-end products such as the Dualit 4718 but unless your pockets are deep you may find the idea of paying over £150 for a toaster somewhat beyond the pale.
The Tefal Avanti Classic 532718 is not in the very highest price bracket, but at £50 there is the expectation that it will perform a lot better than the cheap models.
Having used this for a few days I would say that the strong points are:
- The design allows you to see how the toasting is going without having to risk singed eyebrows.
- Having two pairs of slots with independent temperature control allows you to mix and match different items that need different degrees of toasting.
- Extra levers to push up smaller items so that they can be extracted without burning your fingers or (worse still) sticking something metal into the toaster to extract them.
The only major downside for me was the fact that the slots aren't quite big enough to take the standard large loaf that you can bake in a bread machine. Other than that I would say this is definitely an improvement over the lower end models.

A stylish addition to the kitchen
Very good service from the supplier and a nice efficient toaster. Good to have the four slots and to be wide enough for tea cakes, crumpets, etc.

Not great
Didn't really like this product. The toasting function itself is fine but the ejector is rubbish - leaving me cursing as I try to extract my hot toast...

Super Toaster
This is a very good sturdy toaster which does the job well. Adjustable setting lets you get the toast the right colour to your taste.
