Vey good machine. Worth the money.

A really good purchase; the metal looks matt but, it’s shiny chrome which worked out well. It’s simple to use, easy to clean, and looks more expensive than most. Good value for money.

It toasts! It replaces a very old toaster that kept jamming.
Very pleased with this so far. Unlike most toasters, this one has the controls on the front, which is a much more convenient arrangement if various family members like different levels of toasting. Slots are wide and deep enough for homemade bread. The stop button is large and easy to see, which would be useful for users with poor eyesight or limited dexterity. The toaster also has a visible LED timer on the front, made up of flashing lights, which is handy for the impatient among us. It’s a speedy toaster - much quicker than my previous one. Easy to keep clean. It’s a little on the expensive side, but honestly I think it is worth it, because you’re getting additional convenience and functionality rather than just paying for a name. Would recommend.

I previously left an unhappy review atfter the toaster started jumping the power, 2 weeks after the warranty ended. I made a claim on the brand website anyway (as warranty on amazon says 1 years but other website were showing 2) and they replied within a few days with few options to try to see if it is fixable.They say that if you use fruit bread (which I do as it started doing this after my teacakes went in) that the sultanas may stick inside and create a shortcut.So I clean inside the toaster and scraped whatever was on the resistance. And it is back to operational.So overall, I am pleased with this toaster and the customer service.I like the feature with the time remaining showing so you can multitask while it toasts.

I read quite a few bad reviews about this toaster, too big, burns one side and not enough on the other side, the numbers are too small to read, but I noticed it says it toasts all of the bread, so I took the gamble and ordered one, and I'm glad I did, as it's excellent, and I didn't see a problem with the number settings either, very clear and easy to read, it's broad but not too broad, it's got a beautiful classy shine to it, but most importantly, it toasts every bit of the bread with room for larger slices of bread in depth and length. I didn't have any problems with it toasting one side more than the other. I like my toast just heading on to the slightly burnt stage, so I tried it on setting number 4, it was perfect on both sides for me. My son likes his to be well toasted, but not burnt, so he goes for the number 3 setting, and he said it's perfect for him, so it's a 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 rating from us. It might be a bit pricey for some people, but I think it's worth every penny. If you want quality, then you have to pay the price. It's one of those toasters I think will last for years, so you have to way it up against, how much money are you going to waste on cheap toasters, that don't toast all of the bread, and don't last long in life. I definitely recommend this toaster.
