    I hate toast. Toasters should be used for Pop tarts and nothing else.

    Nah it's just boring. Hate everything about it.

    Only time its any good is with beans on top of it and even then I'd be upset it wasn't a jacket spud instead!

    The health and safety man came round last week while I wasn't here. he had concerns about the toaster saying it may be a fire hazard!

    It is still here, but for how much longer I don't know. It has done well to last as long as it has though!

  • I love toast, and I'm currently pondering over whether to buy a toaster. We currently have a bottom shelf jobby. The type that costs about £3.99 in Argos. The exact same type where you struggle to find bread small enough to fit a slice in, and when it pops up (or rather doesn't, because you had to wedge it) it's only toasted in the middle. It's a pitiful meal time experience.

    I was thinking maybe the Tesco 4 Slice Toaster

    Anyone got one? Will it toast for a king?

    Bearing in mind that our grill bit the dust months ago :(

    It's crap if you have wide bread because when it pops up, it gets mushed in one of the seams at the back. It also never toasts the top of any bread.

    If you're gonna toast for a king it's gotta be the Dualit Lite 4-Slice Toaster proper manly toaster that is!!

    available from http://www.ogormans.co.uk/dualit_lite_toasters.htm for £60.00, best pick up a couple of the toastie cages as well!!
  • I have that exact Tesco 4 slice toaster. It is good. In fact I haver just finished eating 4 eggs on 4 slices of toast. NOM!

    The toaster is pretty short, so if you use tall bread it won't toast the top. However, I just put my bread in sideways and it works fine.

    That's expensive toast. If it acted as a complete grill, then maybe, but for just toast, and even though I love toast, that's a bit steep.

    Anyway, I've been doing a little research, and according to the consumer watchdog, Which? magazine, many of the budget toasters are way ahead of their expensive counterparts.

    2nd highest scored, beating £150 toasters by a country mile, is the Breville Classique, weighing in at just over £20. Which sounds like a bargain to me. Unfortunately this survey was conducted a year and half ago and this toaster doesn't seem to be available anymore.

    Even more interestingly, the Sainsbury's Basics toaster (£5) beat most of them, including the range of Dualits.

    This is harder than chosing bicycle components. Do I go for the Orange, or the On-One. Deore, or SLX? :?

    I have a sainsbury's toaster. It's good.

    Also, deore is never an option.

    This obsession with toast reminds me of this :)

  • I just got back from sainsburys with my new toaster :D

    It was a half price kenwood one. Same price as the four slice sainsburys one which is exactly the same as the 4 slice tesco one, and I'm not convinced it's any better, but I was killing myself for a full half hour trying to make this most important decision.

    I can only hope it serves me well.
