Toaster wars

[CoolHands]

Help me

We need a new toaster. On happily going to amazon I find from reading reviews that all the fking moronic manufacturers can’t make toaster slots that are big enough to take what we in England would consider normal bread eg warburtons / hovis etc?! WTF?

Can anyone point me to something but not smeg as I’m not paying 130 fking sovs for a toaster

I’d point you towards a Dualit but I think they’re more than £130 now. I love mine because I can strip it down and rebuild it completely. I think my wife would prefer something normal but the toaster has been in my life longer than she has.

Buy a 4 slice, long slot toaster & do the toast in landscape mode?

Or buy a Smeg:

What is the standard bread that toasters are designed to take? French bread obviously doesn't fit at all, the Japanese don't really do bread, so is Germany full.of small sliced loaves? Is bread in the USA tiny?

[CoolHands]

Dunno but if I was some cheap Chinese brand I’d just make longer fking slots how hard can it be

[wjwren]

Look at a commerical toaster. They are cheaper and better built.

[BobSaunders]

Dualit. Buy once.

[TimmyMallett]

Dualit. Has outlasted 3 cheap toasters. Will be worth it long run. Ours fits doorstops. 3cm wide. Just measured it.

I cut the ends off the bread to fit the toaster.

[Rayy]

Dualit. Bought one over 25 years ago and still toasting.

I think there is actually a guy on here who designs toasters. I seem to recall him recommending some of the own brand stuff from Asda as they are designed with large slices in mind.

This is the only answer.

Open gas grill ftw.
Might slice a loaf lengthways and have that for breakfast, just because I can.

I have got this toaster

Seems decent enough, it burns bread to how I like it and the count down timer is handy.

I have an AmazonBasics one bought in 2017 for £23, works very well.

Can't justify £130 on a toaster.

We were toaster killers. Bought a 4 slice Smeg one about 3 years ago and it's been faultless. We hammer it.

[goldieandblackie]

I brought this Bosch toaster about 7 years ago along with a Bosch kettle and both have been faultless.

Another shout for Dualit, had one for about 10 years.
