Product Information

With our review out of the way, we can confidently say that the DeLonghi Distinta Flair CTI2003 has won this competition for the best toast NZ has available. It is the only reasonably priced toaster that combines all of the features we have discussed throughout this. It is only missing an audible beep and a mechanical lift. We're a little (ok, a lot) obsessed with the Russell Hobbs Emma Bridgewater Polka Dot 2-Slice Toaster. Its patterned exterior is sure to add a sunny start to your day, and there are matching kettles, mugs and even plates available for those who want to add another element of coordination. The retro-style design is carried through to the rather simple controls, which include a 1-5 dial as well as an eject, frozen and reheat setting. When you push down the lever there's no lift-to-look, but we did think the Russell Hobbs toasted evenly and were very happy with how it performed in testing.

We also think the De'Longhi Ballerina Toaster is reasonably priced for how luxe it feels to use. While it does cost more than the Morphy Richards Verve, which is our second choice, its design is noticeably more sturdy and the toast comes out with far fewer lines on the bread.

As part of our testing policy, we have hands-on experience with all of the products we recommend at Ideal Home. We tested toaster in this round up, as well as the matching kettles across one day, as well as testing them for energy efficiency. A reheat button will automatically turn the browning down or reduce the time when you re-insert your toast. This setting is for keeping your bread warm as opposed to re-toasting it. You can turn down the browning for the same effect, but all models do come with this in some capacity. Audible Toast Alert The Morphy Richards Verve Toaster is budget-friendly toaster with a range of great features. We love the levers, which allow you to lift and look as your bread toasts, and the slider dial means you can adjust your level of toasting completely.The Breville is the right combination of everything we’ve mentioned thus far. Perfect for people who only need two bread slots at once. It is an excellent option for small households. As well as a decent variable control to give you your chosen perfect shade of brown, you should also look for defrost and keep warm functions. Cleaning Electricals - Steam Cleaners - Vacuums & Sweepers - Hard Floor Cleaners & Polishers - Carpet Cleaners Offering six shades of brown via the progressive browning controls, everyone’s toast can be done just how they like it – and because the controls can be adjusted independently of each other, you can toast two different shades at once.
