Russell Hobbs 2 Slice Attentiv Toaster with Colour Sense Technology; Adapts toasting time to bread type (Favourite settings memorised, Touch screen control, Lift & look, 1640W, Stainless Steel) 26210

At the moment I have used the toaster on the no.3 setting and it’s ok for me. Very good quality and design.

From simple toast to (frozen) potato waffles and panini rolls it does it all. Nice even toasting, easy to control with the touch sensitive buttons and dial. Also, it looks cool in stainless steel and it's easy to clean as well.

It lasted 6 months. Now the control panel comes on but it refuses to toast. It's not worth trying to repair it.I liked its faster heating element and convenience, but the browning density bars are too course a measure - it needed numbers or a dial.I'll find another brand next time. Something cheaper.

These look great on the counter and do a great job of providing two very evenly toasted peace's of bread. It is fantastic to find a taster that toasts evenly right to the sides and corners of the bread this well. (A disclaimer: So far I have only used this with standard sized 'Hovis Style' brown and white bread.)Something that originally amazed me was how fast these seem to pop up in comparison to our old toaster. I had already thrown our old four slice toaster out when this arrived but it feels like, despite having to do two rounds of toasting, I can produce four slices in about the same.I have knocked off one star because of the range of toast levels. There are 5 total levels, and while there is a perfect setting for my taste, my wife either has to have her toast either very slightly underdone or very slightly overdone compared to what she would consider perfect.This is expensive compared to much of the competition but I feel it is worth it for the look and build quality of the item. Looks great on the counter with the matching kettle, and I am very tempted to stretch our budget a little and buy the coffee machine as well.

I have used this on the crumpet (one side only) and full toast settings. Do I need a toaster with a motor to lower and raise the bread? No, but I love the feature. It also copes well with different thicknesses of toast with a metal cradle that opens wide when you put the bread in and then closes to centre the bread as it is lowered. If I am honest, this is a bit of an indulgence when it comes to a toaster. However, the single piece cast and general build quality are great and I don't regret the purchase.

Perfect for home made bread which are slightly longer than shop brought bread, only drawback it does not toast evenly- very quick not having to wait ages before the bread is toasted

A very good product easy to use ,looks good and does everything it says

Most 2-slice toasters are rated 800 - 1000 W. This one is 1600 W. The heat is far too intense. It's like trying to make toast with a blowlamp: it burns the edges before the bread inside is even warmed. Such a pity, as this would be an excellent toaster otherwise. If they bring out an 800 W version, I'll be the first to buy it.
