I bought this model toaster to replace an older same brand similar model. I learned a lot about these toasters. They carry a rating plate with a 'maximum' power in watts, but quoted for 240 volt mains. In U.K we have 230 volt which reduces the rated surface of the elements on the outside and inside for even bread toasting and there will be a critical mains voltage to get the element at the correct redness for efficiency and long element life. My old Russell Hobbs toaster was about 1000 watts at 240 volts and lower for 230 volts. The outer elements were fairly bright and even, but the inside elements were dull red and patchy. It produced uneven toasting on one side. This model toaster is rated at 1670 watts for 240 volts so should be doing about 1500 watts at 230 Volts. Some reviews say it burns bread or leaves bread soft on the inside, but on the basis of its power I decided to buy it and would consider electronic heat control for the elements if needed. You can always go down in power, but it's not so easy to go up! On power up after 20 seconds all the element lines had an even red glow (Good). We only toast brown bread and this came out even and o.k on browning setting 3. I suspect white bread may need a lower setting? At higher settings bread could be over browned too quickly on the outside. I don't think I need to reduce its power just yet, but it could be too high with less control and over browning with white bread? Overall I was pleased with this well made, no frills fairly cheap toaster, although I have seen the same models advertised with a lower power rating which I couldn't figure out.Read full review

This is the best toaster I have seen in the price range. It replaces an almost identical one which I bought approx 20 years ago which is still working but the timer was failing. The wide slots are a good idea as I can now toast the loaf ends- better than wasting them !

States wide for crumpets etc. No different to ‘normal’ toasters so not as wanted but will keep as replaces broken one.
