Can anyone recommned a decent toaster?

[sharbie]

Mum and dad would like one for christmas.
(I know exciting).
They are not fussed about toasting 4 slices at once but they want a sturdy/reliable type.
I don't mind spending but they will be a bit if it costs more than £30 as they would expect it to clean the kitchen and do the laundry for that.

not cheapo morphy richards from tesco the flipping thing lets out blue sparks every time the toast pops up pmsl

We had a morphy richards set, the toaster and kettle half price £30 from argos on offer every year at this price. When we first moved in toghether it was great for the price and looked really nice :)

thanks but now i am confused

have had blue sparks from tesco cheapie before too

Having got through many toasters, we bought the cheap end Dualit several years ago - about £40-50 maybe, but it is a really reliable and well made. I'd recommend it.

thanks i was wondering about those, didn't know they made a cheaper model. i might go for that.

cheapest dualit on line i can see is £60.gah.

I see mine's made by Haden; never been any problem and not expensive either, but actually I bought it shopping locally and just liked the design.

I bought this one - and love it [http://www.appliancist.com/toasters/bosch-private-collection-compact-toaster.html]
