I hunted high and low for a toaster that toasts full size slices and
ended up buying what looks like the previous model to this one. It
looks pretty much the same, just slightly different styling.

It's odd what people are talking about toasters. Mine has annoyed me
for a long time for the same reason: it doesn't toast full slices of
the type of bread I use.

Getting a toaster which handles large slices must be a bigger issue than
I thought. For example, I've just seen this:

"I wish to re-open this thread and amaze people to the fact that . . . .
even today i.e. after 3yrs of opening this thread I am still searching
for a 2-slice Toaster that will fit large slices of bread (not thick
slices) !! ."

And I remember a Which report from years ago which said that of all the
toasters they tested _only one_ toasted the whole slice. Unfortunately,
I didn't keep a note of it at the time.

So the quest for a toaster which, er, measures up, continues....


Last time we were in the market for a toaster, I took a plywood template
of a piece of bread. After about 30 toasters we realised that price is
not indicator of capability, let alone quality, and that we're better of
using the grill.


I see this person did the same, albeit with a paper template

A surprising conclusion!


That Russell Hobs one, the last one you see in the Currys section is the
one I have and can confirm it toasts to perfection but it is in the £20-
£30 price range.

Just looked at the ADSA site and they have this which looks promising,
and the reviews are sparkling -
