SwanNordic Toaster 2 Slice Grey

I live in Australia ordered the toaster and a kettle the plug dose not go in to our sockets it’s to fat

I am going to be totally honest, I have a Swan Nordic Kettle and love it, but the toaster on this has a much more inferior build quality than my existing four slice toaster.Build Quality:-The metal inside that grabs the toast is thin, the metal on the sides is thin, the knobs and sliders are thin, but it does have one major advantage it actually toasts far quicker. My husband didn't like the previous one because it toasted slowly ... and because we have gone from a family of four to two, we no longer require such a chunky piece of kit on the worktop, so I am going to keep the old one as a spare, if you are careful with this it will last, but any teenagers pulling the slider to select the toast colour sharply might result in the item not lasting.Moving on to toasting stuff:- I like the styling, it toasts well, but the toast does not pop up can be very awkward if you are toasting something like Warbartons Bagel Thins, they also get caught on the prongs, didn't happen with the old one. This toaster will work best with ordinary bread, I had to cut the crust off top and bottom of a Morrison's Baked in House wholemeal loaf, so also bear that in mind, if you like the crusts!Will be keeping it, but really it's not as good as the old one, he's happy it toasts quickly, I am not as convinced. It does the job, but with a few niggles, really a toaster is such a simple gadget they should all do exactly the same thing, but they don't!

I've only just got this today and used it. The toast was evenly cooked on both sides, unlike some toasters I've had. So far so good. Will review again in a month.

Easy on the eye and easy to use

Looks great and works as you'd expect, but definitely a little slower than my old toaster
