Please bring me your toasters!....

[MiniMum97]

My toaster has just given up the ghost (started tripping the fuse last night) after less than 2 years. It was also rubbish at toasting bread (uneven and inconsistent).

Please give me your recommendation for your good toasters that are actually going to last more than a couple of years!

My current toaster or a Morphy Richards. I also understand that Russel Hobbs have similar longevity issues.

Happy to pay more for something that will last.

Thank you!

mommy did you get a classic one or their cheaper architect range I think it's called?
The classic toasts perfectly and the crumbs just drop in to the tray.

Love my Heston Blumenthal smart toaster

@downcasteyes I LOVE the Stelton Emma...it is so lovely to look at... I did try to persuade DH that £150 on a kettle was completely reasonable...

I also tried to get my SIL to buy it just so I could live vicariously through her...

I failed on both strategies...

Myrtle I feel your pain! I had exactly the same conversation with DH. He was cold-heartedly immune to the suggestion that the Stelton would cure all my worldly ailments and send me into raptures ever time I had a cuppa.

I love my Magimix Le Toaster, it is available as a 4 slice. Mine is the 2 slice, if I want 4 slices I put two slices in each slot then pop them down again back to back if that makes sense.
You can use just one slot or toast the bread on just one side.

we got fed up with toasters (including so called premium toasters) breaking and being unrepairable, so we got this
it was expensive but it's lasted many years, and when DS broke an element by poking a knife in it, we were able to buy a new element and replace it easily
this is how all our appliances should be, I am so sick of having to throw away stuff that's 'too expensive to repair' no wonder the planet is fucked

Other than the pp with the lidl cheapy (which I take it is no longer available) does anyone know of a toaster that fits a Warburton toastie slice of bread without squishing it?

I have this, and the matching letter, both were on offer at Currys and both are fab! www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/household-appliances/small-kitchen-appliances/toasters/delonghi-icona-capitals-ctoc4003-bl-4-slice-toaster-blue-10182445-pdt.html#srcid=11026

Kettle, not sure where letter came from 🙄

Dualit Architect
Lovely industrial looking thing

We have a Breville Impressions 4-slice toaster and best one we've had, getting bread to fit in sideways was my biggest issue with every other toaster we've tried and this is the first one I've not had to wiggle the bread down manually.

Can't help with kettles as we switched to a One Cup a while ago but there is a matching one in the Breville range.

We've had our dualit for 20 years! Quite a shock to me ...still going strong!

@Pretry we've given up with the regular sized bread because no toaster fits them in. We now buy warburtons toastie or Aldi's seedy bread in the small size, they fir perfectly in the toaster and we're consuming less calories

I'm very happy with my dualit studio 2-slice (exclusive to John Lewis)

I've got a Delonghi toaster and matching kettle. Both years old and still going strong. They look pretty too!
