Great toaster
Toaster for 2 slices of bread. Lovely pale lemon colour. It has a wide enough slot to toast a bagel. It is easy to use, with several settings for the type of toast you prefer, including a very useful defrost setting. Easy to clean.
I absolutely love my new toaster, it looks so much more expensive than what I paid for it. The colour is perfect shade of pink and matches other pink appliances I have from different brands. It's easy to set up, you can adjust the settings for timer and use the defrost setting, it fits my Warburton's thick toastie bread in and toasts it perfectly, not a burnt piece in sight. It even has a removable tray that holds the crumbs. If you like your toast golden and crunchy but not hard go for 2 on the controls, 3 burns it slightly.
Matches the kettle from the same brand.Well you have to...don’t you? Even though, as ‘Other Half’ pointed out...when not in use, our toaster lives in the cupboard! However, at the discounted price (at the time of order), there was little else said.It is better than my previous toaster, mainly because my favourite bread (which is longer than most slices) fits in, so eliminates the need to turn it. With generous sized slots in terms of width, too, it does a grand job with my 'doubler' (2-slices frozen together), resulting in a nice dark shade for me (browning level 5) on the outside and still soft on the inside, ready for a spreading of marmalade. There is slightly more leverage in raising shorter toast (e.g. milk-roll rounds or crumpets) at the end, and the pop-up, when ready, is not quite as noisy.I found that typically ‘new’ odour disappeared after a couple of dry runs on the maximum setting, as advised in the instructions (image below refers).IMO, the 800W, 2-slice toaster would make an ideal gift. It comes complete with instruction booklet in a sturdy, branded cardboard box (no plastic-type, inner packaging) measuring around 18 cm square x 33 cm, and has a 2-year (limited) guarantee (+ 1 extra year, with online registration).Presented in a pleasant lemon shade and textured for the main part, the contrast is a shiny silver colour; the brand-name nicely subdued in white on one long side. The flex is also white (yay!) and a good length at around 85 cm (not including the UK plug). There is an in-built cord tidy on the base.Surprisingly lightweight in hand, the 2-slice toaster I received measures roughly 28 cm overall (allowing for the protruding knob) x 16.5 cm wide x 19 cm tall, standing sturdy on 4 little ‘feet’.The 2.5 cm diameter knob has browning levels ‘1-6’, the numbers in a pale grey shade, with an audible click, on selection. The 'stop/eject' button glows blue when the toaster is on, as does the ‘cook from frozen’ button.The crumb collector is a reasonable size and is located on the base, at the back (the short side opposite to the controls). It simply slides out.I find that the 'polypropylene' surface is easy to clean with a damp cloth; the silver coloured areas requiring an occasional buff-up.Now...if it came with a slot cover like my very, very old toaster did, I would be ecstatic, for then I would show it off alongside the aforementioned kettle. For me, though, I worry too much about dust and the likes that float around a busy kitchen. However, as few toasters do these days, I can’t otherwise fault it, especially at the discounted price.Other colours are currently available.Any problems, I will be back!<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>No problems to report, and at the same discounted price, I have now ordered the 𝙍𝙖𝙨𝙥𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙮 version for a very special person in my life!
Looks lovely in my kitchen
Excellent quality toaster
My toaster is lovely the right colour
Very good
Very pleased with this Russell Hobbs toaster and it looks smart in the kitchen. It takes a standard size slice but on the odd occasion the standard slice is slightly taller and therefore you have to cut a small bit off. This happened with our old toaster as well. Haven't noticed it being noisy, only the usual ping sound when the toast is ready. Easy and straight forward to use. I am hopeful that the toaster will give us many years of use like our old one did. I would definitely recommend it.
Really love the colour I bought the kettle to match
This is a very good toaster and the pink colour matches my kitchen decor
Bought as part of kettle and toaster set .Far superior quality from my last set .Toaster has wide slots ,copes with muffins and tea cakes and thick bread. Fast toasting , toasts bread evenly ,nice and crispy .Absolutely love the lemon yellow colour so stylish and people comment on it often .
The colourIs lovely I like it but my husband says he can hardly get a slice of bread in the slots

Good incredible for price
So here’s the deal—being gluten-free isn’t just about swapping out bread, it’s about dealing with the fact that gluten-free bread behaves like some weird science experiment gone wrong. It’s smaller, crumblier, and has this annoying habit of either refusing to toast or instantly turning into charcoal. After far too many mornings scraping blackened crumbs off my old toaster, I figured it was time for an upgrade. Enter the Russell Hobbs Eden 2 Slice Toaster.First off, it looks great. I mean, who doesn’t love a raspberry-colored toaster? It adds a nice pop of color to my kitchen, which is mostly full of boring white appliances. But more importantly, it actually works with gluten-free bread. The high-lift feature is a game-changer because gluten-free slices are usually tiny, and in my old toaster, I’d have to perform some delicate finger acrobatics to get them out without burning myself. With this one? Just pop the lever up and grab your toast—no singed fingertips required.The browning settings are also surprisingly accurate. With gluten-free bread, you kind of have to find the sweet spot—too light and it’s still weirdly gummy, too dark and it’s rock-hard. After some trial and error, I found setting 4 works perfectly for my brand of bread, getting that golden, crisp edge while still keeping the inside soft enough to spread butter without ripping the slice apart.And let’s talk about the frozen bread function because I pretty much live off frozen gluten-free loaves (seriously, why is fresh GF bread always twice the price?). This thing actually defrosts and toasts evenly, which is a miracle in itself. I used to have to defrost my bread separately before toasting, which was just another morning hassle I didn’t need. Now, I throw a frozen slice in, press the button, and boom—perfect toast.I also appreciate the removable crumb tray because gluten-free crumbs seem to multiply like rabbits. My old toaster had a crumb collection that was basically a fire hazard, but this one’s easy to slide out and clean.Overall, I wasn’t expecting much—I just wanted something that wouldn’t turn my gluten-free toast into a breakfast crime scene. But this toaster has actually made mornings easier, and for that, I’m officially a fan. If you’re gluten-free and tired of battling tiny, unpredictable slices, this one is 100% worth it.
Lovely stylish toaster, works well
Good purchase
Excellent purchases and exactly as the advert
Loved the colour not too big when standing on work top xx
Excellent for value
Great little toaster and good price, I would recommend
Great ! Love it
Very nice little, compact sized toaster. I use with toaster bags to help keep the toaster clean. I place cheese and marmite toastie, (no butter) in a bag and then squash the bag as flat as possible so it fits in the toaster easily.I don’t think this would handle very thick bread but as I only buy thin slice that doesn’t matter to me.I only use level 3 which is the halfway mark for heating/browning and it toasts evenly through the toaster bags.It does seem to take longer than previous toasters I have owned but that isn’t a problem for me.
