Toasters

[wendilla]

Just been looking through argos for a toaster. Would you pay£199 for one I certainly wouldn't . Is there any difference in the toast in buying a cheap one compared to one about £40 .

[humbersloop]

how much??!!

[wendilla]

Yes humbersloop they even have them £50 to £99 .

[humbersloop]

wendi, I can think of other things to spend a surplus, say, £179 on ;)

[Prudie]

Not that much but I did pay a fairly ridiculous price for one. Bit like kettles, looks are almost as important as functionality.

I wouldn't be without my Dualit.

The rhythmical tic-tic-tic is such a pleasing sound :-)

I went for one of these a couple of years ago

As recommended by the Gadget Show, it's a cracking toaster for the money, imo.

If anyone is even thinking of spending close to £200 on a bl00dy toaster, they have far too much !

What's wrong with using the grill on your cooker? Save yourself some money!

[hc4361]

Cupid, some grills are inside the oven and if the oven is already in use, toasting under the grill is not an option.
A toaster is far cheaper to use to toast bread, anyway.

Last time I bought a toaster I went to one of the big electrical shops that have lots of toasters on display.
A took a slice of my usual toast wrapped in cling film to make sure the toaster would not leave the top of the slice untoasted. Funny looks, but I can't be doing with toast with untoasted bits

If you look at Which? tests on toasters, you will see that performance varies enormously...and price is no indicator of performance.

[wendilla]

Just had a look through Which now I am more confused .com

[humbersloop]

Daft as it might sound wendi, what do you need it to do?

Size and thickness of bread, two slices or four (I have a four slice one that'll just do two), warm up muffins or bagels on top? And how much toast do you actually eat to justify spend?

[Georgiesmum]

Ive got a morphy richards one which ive had ages. It beeps when the toast is ready. Its good and reliable.

[wendilla]

Need one that does 4 but also to do just 2 on its own same as the one I have that 2 slots have given up . Only need to use the 4 when family here . Not very good feed back on some of them but morphy Richards not too bad and does thick well.

I bought a Cookworks about £4, useless, keeps sparking after onoy acouple of months, same with Cookworks electric chrome kettle, went rusty after 6 months (on the outide by the spout) can't take them back as I live abroad. I'm still looking for an inexpensive but good one.

[netibiza]

I am using an Asda one, only £1 in a car boot (new) and it is very good, just looks a tad scruffy now, been using it for 4 years.

[ivor4781]

we have an asda £10 job still ok after 4 years
