Does this toaster actually exist?

[MitchT]

About seven months ago I decided to buy a toaster. Being a bloke I had to have one that's awesome, so I settled on this...

http://www.breville.co.uk/products/toasters/brevil...

However, the only place that said they sold is was Argos, and they had none in stock at any of their local stores, or to deliver online. Seven months on, still none. Anywhere! WTF?

Ooh, a concept toaster!

Good old marketing.

And yes. I know they do a Sixer, my wife even bought one for me, but even I thought it a little too Cadillac like and unnecessary.......

The four is perfect IMHO had one for about three years it's now never missed a beat.

And it never will, i think they have done about 3 upgrades ever. They are lots of money but are excellent bar none.

It looks like after being released on 15th April 2011, it's already been discontinued http://www.lavertons.co.uk/product_info.php?produc...

That's surprising, it had 'innovative new technology and increased power' saving me 'valuable time in the morning'.

I expect the person responsible has already moved on to a yet more dynamic self-starting position elsewhere...

OP loses 20 man points for starting a thread on toasters, and gains 40 woman points for being so specific about the toaster he wants.

And from chilhood memories makes awesome toast. the best in fact.

I've had many people tell me about the magic of toast on a aga. Never tried it though.

Surely you could get the same/similar result on an electric hotplate though?

Had one for years. Wife hated it.


Now we have the perfect toaster:

[F i F]

Whilst being a true PHer a full on Dualit graces our kitchen worktops, and truly excellent toastit makes too, whilst wandering round Cole Brothers John Lewis the other day I did notice this



Also noticed one model where the casing seemed to change colour according to how done the toast was, but actually seeing the toast iteslef brown seems to be more reliable.

PH Evenly done toast matters.

bugger just beaten to it by Zod.

For toaster snobs!

We've got a Dualit now, but the Tefal thick n thin long slot was the best toaster ever - and very fast, with a single radiant element each side being like the bar from an electic fire.

Quite.

I bought a white one from Sainsburys that does 4 slices, it cost £6. Its still going a year later, I don't think its worth spending £100 on one that does the same.

You could say that about everything though.

I bet most Dualit's are bought as presents - it's pitched at just the right sort of value for that.
