Great addition to any kitchen, with its traditional design that complements modern or classic setups perfectly. The extra wide slots easily handle thick slices, crumpets, or bagels, while the 6 browning levels let you get your toast just right – from lightly golden to crispy. The three auto settings (defrost, reheat, and cancel) are super handy for frozen bread or warming up without burning.It toasts evenly, cleans up easily with the removable crumb tray, and feels solidly built. A reliable toaster that's worth it if you want quality and good looks!
This toaster is very stylish and smart-looking. With the white paint/enamel-type finish and the all shiny chrome-like metal fittings, it has a classy, retro look to it. It will make any kitchen look that little bit classier!It works very efficiently and smoothly with the metal levers to lower the bread and the three additional settings for defrost, reheat and bagel (which only toasts the bagel on one side). There is a 'brownness dial' for each set of two bread slots, and these work independently of one another, so you can have very light toast in the left two slots and very dark toast in the two right slots all going at the same time. The two dials go from 1 to 6, though currently we are finding that 3 is the best setting; turn it up to 4 and the toast comes out almost black.The slots on this toaster are 15cm long - which may not seem an issue but at that size even the biggest standard toastie loaf fits into the slot. Our previous toaster had slots 13.5cm long and some slices of bread you had to either cut a thin strip off the top of have it slightly bent and toasted unevenly. So it's nice to have one that doesn't have this problem .This is a great toaster, a special treat for your own kitchen or a lovely gift for a housewarming or wedding list gift. It comes very lovingly packaged in a smart box, enclosed in a frantic drawstring bag and wrapped in a protective wrapping.

Very well made and feels very premium. There are 3 preset settings (reheat, defrost and bagel) which work perfectly. It's very quick and the temperature settings are brilliant. Precise temperature selection as you can select 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 instead of the classic 1, 2, 3. These small details make a massive difference when it comes to toast preparation, as you can select a low/medium setting for a pancake reheat.The slots are quite wide and the bread does not jam in there. Tested it with hashbrowns as they're quite thick and I was very happy with the results.The crump trays located under the toaster are very easy to remove and clean. It's not noisy at all while working or when it pops up.Overall it's a very premium toaster and very well made. Slightly pricey but totally worth it. Luxury design with a lovely matt white colour and brilliant functionality.
Firstly I have to say I agree with anyone who says that spending this amount of money on a toaster is something of an indulgence. I would also suggest that cost doesn’t always mean quality. In the case of this toaster however it’s about the best I’ve ever used. The build quality is exceptional and everything about it shouts of sturdiness and reliability. The design has a definite retro appeal for those of us who like that style: I personally like the design aesthetic this espouses as I’m a fan of anything that reflects the British design aesthetic of the 50s to the 70s. It has that feel of a product that can be passed on to the next generation or at least give such long service that it’s remembered by future generations as a permanent fixture rather than a rotating series of cheap pieces.The name is a long standing brand and they make a point of saying that they still manufacture in the UK. That’s the case for the large appliances however this particular item was made in China. I don’t regard that as a negative but point it out for anyone who wants to buy British.It’s heavier than the cheap ones you can get, but that just gives it an air of solidity. It’s not something that you’d particularly notice but if you held this toaster and a cheap one together you’d be surprised how much more it weighs. That solid build makes it a little quieter too: you don’t have that tinny rattling when you put the bread down and conversley the popping up of the toast is equally subdued. It’s not faster than a regular toaster as it can’t change the laws of thermodynamics, but it does make a more consistent job of the end product. I haven’t checked but perhaps there’s a better or more efficient heating element inside rather than the standard heated wire.I really like the longer slots as that means you can use most loaves in there. You don’t have to get that square spongey stuff masquerading as bread. It will also accept thick slices so you can make with the doorstep slices with no problem.Cleaning it is easy as the crumb tray is easily accessible and seems to catch most of the mess.It’s a really top quality machine but you’re going to have to pay for that. Highly recommended.
Made by a very reputable brand which makes you rest assured it should be durable, long lasting and work to a great standard. I absolutely love the Matt white colour of this item along with the stainless steel trim. It really does make the toaster pop in the kitchen but at the same time isn’t mega overpowering against everything else. Has the standard flick down and pop mechanism, along with different levels of intensity (depending on how you like your toast). Great value for money all round, works a treat and has a pull out crumb catcher for easy cleaning too. Arrived smartly packaged and set at a fair price!
I have a non-branded single slice toaster but it takes a lot of time in preparing breakfast for the entire family so was extremely pleased to get this toaster. First impressions - the toaster looks absolutely gorgeous. It has 4 slots which really makes it quicker and easier to get breakfast done for the entire family. The functions and browning levels are really brilliant. I love the fact that this toaster has wider slots as I can now use it to heat naan bread too. Has a removable drawer so it's easy to clean.Overall I would say that I absolutely love this! Such a neat solution for perfect toast every time. Easy to use, not too big for a 4 slice toaster and a nice looking bit of kitchen kit. So far I’ve toasted white and brown bread, naan bread and hot cross buns in it and they came toasted to perfection.Quality of the product justifies the price.Hope you find this review helpful.
This toaster looks great in the kitchen and feels good quality. The slots are wide, so it fits thick bread and bagels easily. It heats evenly, and the 6 browning levels make it easy to get the toast just right. The extra settings work well, and it’s simple to use every day. Great toaster overall!
Is this Rangemaster Classic Toaster, the Rolls Royce of toasters ? I am beginning to think that way. In our house the toaster is the most used small appliance after the kettle and we seem to go through them far too regularly. Out of the box I was impressed with the solid build quality of this toaster, and I was comparing it to a £50 one that had started playing up. My needs are simple, I just want to be able to toast a thick doorstop slice of bread and crumpets, the Rangemaster does this with aplomb and I do not think I have ever seen toast browned so evenly even at the edges. In use the lever to drop the toast has a lovely firm feel and there is a satisfying thud as it fully lowers the bread. I usually set toasters to either 4 or 5 minutes but the Rangemaster runs hotter than others that I have used and 3 to 4 minutes is enough, that extra heat is great for toasting crumpets. At £114 the Rangemaster is more than twice the cost of my previous one, is it worth it ? When considering build quality, style and that it is from a quality brand and backed with a two year warranty (which is extended to three if you register) then I think it is. I have found that moving to high end kettle was a good move and I am hoping it will be likewise with the Rangemaster Classic Toaster.
Our old toaster was chaos – one slice pale, the next incinerated – but this one is actually consistent. Once I’d figured out “my” browning setting, every slice started coming out the same, which is exactly what I wanted on busy mornings. The extra-wide slots are a genuine win: I can throw in chunky sourdough, crumpets and bagels without having to hack bits off or keep flipping them mid-toast.Day to day, it just feels nice to use. The levers and dials feel solid rather than flimsy, and it looks great sitting on the counter – more like a mini range cooker than a plasticky gadget. The defrost setting gets a lot of use in our house (we’re terrible for freezing bread), and the reheat button has saved more than a few “forgotten” slices.It is on the larger side, so you notice the space it takes up, but I don’t really see that as a negative any more. It’s become one of those appliances we actually rely on.
