Icona Toaster - put your money where your mouth is!
Bought this toaster & the matching icona kettle in red. Noticed by all who enter our kitchen & tried by all,well at least the kettle. It has several settings (frozen, reheat, bagle, this toasts one side & warms the other & cancel)it takes 4 slices, we have warbertons bread which is quite large & it fit's in & toasts ferfectly. There are individual toast colour settings...

my old appliance is 'toast'
we had been unhappy with our previous toaster & read reviews before purchasing our snazzy red toaster it has lived up to the promises & almost provides the perfect slice of toast, crumb trays are a little fiddly but that is a small price to pay

Icona Toaster - put your money where your mouth is!, 4 Feb 2009
This review is from: De'Longhi Icona CTO4003.R 4-Slice Toaster (Scarlet Red) (Kitchen & Home)
Bought this toaster & the matching icona kettle in red. Noticed by all who enter our kitchen & tried by all,well at least the kettle. It has several settings (frozen, reheat, bagle, this toasts one side & warms the other & cancel)it takes 4 slices, we have warbertons bread which is quite large & it fit's in & toasts ferfectly. There are individual toast colour settings for each side of the toaster,this has saved some bread & arguments as daughter likes it barely done & husband turns dial when daughter not looking to darkest brown (on previous toaster). At the rear there are 2 crumb trays, they seem ok to get out perhaps a bit fiddly to get back in but ok. The toaster seems quite quick but then it depends on how dark you have it & it is very evenly toasted. The paint quality is good & doesn't show finger marks.There is a recessed area around the top in stainless which does show a few marks but then I suppose it is more durable for constant wiping than a painted surface, crumbs do collect between the two. All in all worth the money & i think the best toaster we have ever had. Happy Toasting!

A thing of beauty - and practicality, 3 May 2009
This review is from: De'Longhi Icona CTO4003.R 4-Slice Toaster (Scarlet Red) (Kitchen & Home)
Since having a rather monochrome new kitchen installed, I've been collecting red items to brighten it up. Okay, that's a poor excuse for buying this particular toaster, which is rather expensive. But it's so beautiful that desire soon overcame penny-counting. And I'm delighted to report that it isn't just a pretty face. It produces evenly-browned toast every time, even with the sometimes oddly-sized slices that we cut from our home-made bread. It also toasts hot-cross buns on one side to perfection and the re-heating facility is a boon - it doesn't dry out the toast or affect the brown-ness. Now I'm seriously considering the matching kettle.

Can I drive it as well?, 6 July 2009
This review is from: De'Longhi Icona CTO4003.R 4-Slice Toaster (Scarlet Red) (Kitchen & Home)
I bought this toaster (and also a matching red kettle) after reading all the reviews. I must say, it looks really stunning. It has a nice feel to it too. The toast come out great, I like the fact that you can put two separate sides on different settings. I.e. I use frozen toast for my baby, so use the 'defrost' on that side, and for myself I use just a normal funcion on the other side. I like the look and the paint finish. When my husband saw the toaster first, his remark was 'wow, you parked this one nicely, can I drive it as well? Definitely worth the buy. The kettle too.

best toaster ever purchased, 26 Sep 2009
This review is from: De'Longhi Icona CTO4003.R 4-Slice Toaster (Scarlet Red) (Kitchen & Home)
looks great, but also toasts great, best toaster we have bought, only comment is that the press down levers were a bit stiff, sprayed with wd 40 and 3 in one oil, after working that into the levers for couple of minutes it was perfect.

Style and substance over everything else, 12 July 2009
This review is from: De'Longhi Icona CTO4003.R 4-Slice Toaster (Scarlet Red) (Kitchen & Home)
Buying one of these is one of those rare occasions when you get both style and substance in nice harmony. It's well worth the extra few (and it's only a few) pounds over other models. Spread those extra few pounds over the toaster's lifetime, and you'll quickly realise that it's a no-brainer.

Unusual Toaster, 26 Nov 2009
This review is from: De'Longhi Icona CTO4003.R 4-Slice Toaster (Scarlet Red) (Kitchen & Home)
First of all I abosolutely love the look of it.
Its colour is bright enough to be "interesting"
yet elegant enough not to be "distasteful".
It certainly adds character to any kitchen.
I however find its slots are not large enough
to accommodate a piece of Warburtons Toasty leaving
one of its edges uncooked. And it also pushes
toasts up a little bit too hard and sometimes
my toasts end up landing on the kitchen surface!
Despites these problems, I still love my toaster -
I wanted "an unusual toaster" after all :)

love it!, 16 Jun 2009
This review is from: De'Longhi Icona CTO4003.R 4-Slice Toaster (Scarlet Red) (Kitchen & Home)
Just tested this and I got perfect toast just the way I like it first time. Golden brown and with a nice crunch. Much better than my old toaster and money well spent. Looks good with the matching kettle as well.
One of my favourite buys from Amazon.

What a beautifully designed toaster. Not only does it look good in my kitchen, it actually toasts very well indeed. I heartilly recommend this to anyone looking for both style and efficiency.

A thing of beauty ..., 12 Sep 2009
This review is from: De'Longhi Icona CTO4003.R 4-Slice Toaster (Scarlet Red) (Kitchen & Home)
...is a joy forever - well I hope so in this case, because I love this toaster! I have had my De'longhi Icona Toaster (and kettle!) for one day and adore them. They look utterly beautiful and work excellently.
I do find, as one other reviewer said, that the toaster mechanism is rather sticky and you have to "wiggle" the levers slightly to get them to press down. I was surprised at this - for such a quality item (at a "quality" price!) I expected the mechanism to be completely smooth. Maybe it will loosen up with use. But it works well, makes perfect toast and overall I am thrilled to bits with it. Word of warning - if you have previously had plastic-sided toasters, be aware that the metal ones such as on this toaster get very hot to touch. Keep small kids well away.
Oh, and after surfing t'internet for yonks, I found that Amazon were the cheapest - Comet also do it at the same price but I like using Amazon as I'm registered with them and its so easy.
