I last reviewed a (so-called) Russel Hobbs toaster in August 2018, and gave it one star; and here they are with another one, seemingly back for more punishment. You can read that previous review at https://www.amazon.co.uk/Russell-Hobbs-24380-Inspire-Plastic/dp/B07F8HDT4J/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8, but to find it you will have to plough right to the very end of the other 57 one star reviews.However, much to my surprise, I find myself this time awarding 4 stars - and to a less than perfect toaster. But exercise caution; it may not be worth 4 stars to you.Forget the name, of course; it's made in an anonymous Chinese factory for a big US conglomerate (Spectrum brands Inc.),which buys up bankrupt company names of former repute (including Remington and Black+Decker), and sticks them on products made in anonymous Chinese factories of no repute.You can pay anything up to several hundred pounds for a domestic toaster, or you can pay £30 or so for this one, or many other comparable bread and butter models. I ask for very little from a toaster - bread evenly and fully toasted on both sides without having to take it out half-done and turn it upside down and back to front; and since even the luxury models can be attended by reviews complaining of untoasted bits, I see no point in risking good money on anything more than the average.I've lost count of the number of toasters I've reviewed for Amazon - all of them unsatisfactory. The problem is invariably the badly-made elements, and this example is no different. It's the same design and construction as the first electric toaster I ever owned. I can't immediately think of another kitchen technology that hasn't advanced in at least some way over the course of over half a century.In theory, they would work properly if the elements were carefully assembled, but they never are - especially, it seems, if they are made in China. The worst in this case is the central element which is so badly wound that all the heat is mostly on one side; see the photos - so one piece of toast has one overdone and one underdone side; I hate the idea that we are slowly being brainwashed into accepting improperly toasted toast...But, to my great surprise, my toast at least came out toasted from edge to edge, albeit not evenly - see the photo. I can only attribute this to the unusually wide slots' enabling the heat to diffuse more widely. which could never be the case where the bread was right up against the elements. I also like my toast well done - you might have untoasted bits if you like a light toast. This kind of finish, if not perfect, is acceptable for my purposes, and in comparison to my Igenix, I therefore like it.You may be lucky, and buy an inexpensive average toaster and get three perfect elements - but I never have. Which makes a good case for buying in a shop rather than online, so the elements can be inspected for even and consistent wiring throughout. If you can't do that, on this experience, selecting the appliance with the widest possible slots may well produce the most evenly toasted toast.This model is also considerably more elegant than RH's 24380. In fact - although style is a very personal thing - I like its appearance. Add in the fact that all the controls can be made to sit on the end nearest to where you stand (unlike my present Igenix), plus the facility for avoding burned fingertips with small slices, and the four stars is deserved in my case.

I am happy with this toaster. It looks nice, and functions well.Loading the bread slices, and extracting the toast, is easy, likewise operating the controls. The toaster has buttons for re-heat, toasting frozen bread, and cancelling the heating. Like many toasters, the bread-insertion leaver will only stay down if the toaster is pugged in. Lifting the leaver raises the toast further out of the slots, should the slices be too small to small to slick out otherwise.The slots are wide enough for thick slices, sliced bagels, etc.. They are just large enough for slices from standard family loaves, but wouldn't accommodate anything larger. If you expect to toast very wide slices,I'd recommend you look elsewhere.Although the casing of the toaster is plastic, the very top is metal, and prone to get very hot, so make sure you don’t touch it. I have an older toaster in which the metal housing is more fully protected by the plastic casing, even at the top of the toaster; which I much prefer.The heat range on this toaster is very good. Setting 1 heats waffles to just the right amount, while the remaining numbers give steady increments of toast brownness.The toaster covers each side reasonably evenly, although there is a little difference between each side (see photos showing both sides of the same slice).Overall, although this toaster isn't perfect, I can find no major flaws with it and would certainly recommend you consider it if you are looking for a decent, reasonably cheap, toaster.

I didnt have a toaster and have not owned one for many years, not sure why, so i was thrilled to get this to test. However i dont have anything recent to compare it too.It is a lovely rippled white, it fits really well in my Caribbean themed kitchen where i have tropical colours of orange, white, green, red and yellow. It is a smallish footprint and does not take much space up on the worktop and sits easily put away in a cupboard or length ways on a shelf.You need to burn the elements in before use, this only takes a few minutes but it does leave quite a pungent smell in the kitchen so i would actually advise doing it a few times and not on a day you will need it to cook the toast.I buy Aldimalted wheat bread which is very thick but this toaster held it easily and toasted it to a nice golden colour on the 2nd lowest setting. I cannot say if it is faster than any other toasters because like i said i have nothing to compare it to, bu i was very impressed with the speed of the toaster in use. The crumb tray was easy to slide out and wash and i was surprised it had a function to cook frozen bread. This is going to come in very useful for me because bread always goes mouldy on me because i dont eat it fast enough so this will come in handy.Overall i really like it, for me it is a 5 star item and i am very happy with it!

This is a pretty standard mid-range toaster which stands out primarily because of the honeycomb design on the sides of the toaster. I wasn't sure about the patterned sides at first, but they are not distracting and add some pleasant texture to the kitchen, especially when the toaster is placed against a tiled wall.The toaster itself has the standard features you would expect in any toaster nowadays: a dial for selecting the length of time the bread toasts; a defrost function for toasting bread straight from frozen; and a reheat function to warm already toasted bread.There is also a easy lift function, which is helpful when toasting smaller pieces of bread or crumpets.The toaster advertises itself as having wide slots; they are a little wider than normal, but if you cut your own bread and like a doorstop piece of toast, this toaster won't fit your needs - literally.It is convenient to have a double toaster with four slots for bread, great when feeding a family, and each double slot operates independently, which I have found very convenient when toasting some bread quite lightly and other pieces to a darker colour.Overall, nothing surprising in this toaster. I would recommend you base your toaster decision on the design: if you like the honeycomb go for it: it will look great in any kitchen.

Russell Hobbs have been making toasters for a long time and have earned a good reputation for both style and reliability. This toaster has all the usual features such as different degrees of browning for you bread and removable crumb trays for easy cleaning.The features which I find very useful are the fact that it has four slice slots which work in pairs independently and the slots are extra wide. Not all breads are narrow width and it's awful when the bread will not slip into the slot properly because you end up with burnt toast. I have found this with bagels and you have to slice them thinner than you may otherwise like.Another excellent plus with this toaster is that it has a high lift feature so that when your toast pops,it can be removed easily from the toaster. I have had toasters in the past which when the toaster signals that the toast is ready, the bread has hardly lifted up at all and therefore awkward to remove the toaster without burning yourself.Another good idea is illuminated function buttons. Very useful for someone who is partially sighted and would have difficulty selecting the buttons. I like the honeycomb design on the sides of the toaster. The easy wipe clean toaster housing is much more suitable than stainless steel which is hard to keep clean. Recommended.

I really like this toaster from Russell Hobbs, it is very good quality for a reasonable price, is stylish and performs very well in use, much better than my current Bosch one that was over twice the price!The honeycomb design is a nice feature and also seems to provide thermal insulation, as the toaster wall is only warm not hot during usage. The toaster slots are lovely and wide, taking bread up to 1 inch thick, so can take thick bread, crumpets and tea cakes with ease. The browning function works really well, producing evenly brown toast (again much better than my current one). When the toast pops up the high lift feature means that the toast is very easy to remove, as it pops up around 5cm above the toaster slots.All the other functions (frozen, reheat and cancel) work just as they should.For me this toaster represents really good value for money at £24.99 at the point of review for an excellent toaster, which is better than many at a much higher price point in my experience, and is a stylish addition to my kitchen, and it’s great that there are four colours to choose from to match most kitchen colour schemes.

I wouldn't exactly class myself as a brand snob, but my personal experience is that unbranded cheaper electrical products tend to fail after 12-18 months, often not long out of warranty. I've experience this recently with a kettle as well as a couple of other items. So I tend to look for brands I recognise, and this is certainly one of those.It's a contemporary design with a dimple effect, and whilst black and chrome might not appeal to everyone it fits in to most kitchens well enough. No issues with toasting so far, the level is easily adjustable, though some of the larger bread loaves we occasionally buy mean the top of the slice sticks out a bit. However, this was the case on our previous toaster too,so it's not really an issue.I'm not such a fan of the rotary knobs for setting the level, they seem a little clunky compared to the rest of the design, and the price is towards the upper end of the range for similar options.But overall, a decent toaster from a well known manufacturer, which works well.

We have a lot of Russell Hobbs appliances, they offer quality and are made to last. This 4 Slice Toaster is very neat, glossy black in colour with a textured honeycomb design on the sides which looks simple and stylish at the same time and look really nice against the white wall and floor tiles we have in our kitchen. At the time of review, there are 4 different colours to choose from.The slots are wide enough for thick slices of bread and can be lifted with the lever while still toasting so you don’t have to wait for it to automatically pop up giving you the option to stop it midway toasting, as well as using to lift and remove when finished toasting.There are 2 crumb trays that slot in at the bottom and you also have the option to toast frozen bread as well as reheating cold toast.You use the right side of the toaster for just 2 slices and the left if doing 4. The dials on the bottom of both the left and right-hand side change the browning selection. Simple to use, simple to clean and looks great.

Extremely happy with the new toaster. The best feature is that comes with a wider space in the bread slots to toast, which means that the bagels and wide toast bread fits without any issues and it toasts them perfectly. At the same time doesnt affect thiner slices of bread, crumpets or even pop tarts, allowing these thiner items to get well toasted as well. With a low heating level you get a well toasted item and very quickly, just need to get use to use a lower heat level than my old toaster. Easy to use nothing extravagant there, you have how to measure heat, stop it, make it start and deforst. Easy to clean, comes with an easy slide plate to remove crumbles. Besides great quality product,the presentation is great, very chick style, looks great in the kitchen. We are a big family and use it every day, so far no issues we just love it.

This is a neat little two slice toaster with a quirky honeycomb design which is a nice feature but not so distinctive that it will clash with other non-matching items in your kitchen.It has the features you would expect from a modern toaster:Wide slots that will take thick bread, crumpets, tea cakes etcFrozen, reheat and cancel functionsRemovable tray for emptying crumbsA 'high lift feature' (a new one on me) which means that the toast pops up slightly higher than other toasters so you don't burn your fingers when removing it - genius!The toaster comes with a two year manufacturer's guarantee and you can extend this for another year if you register it online.I'm sure you can find cheapertoasters in discount stores but Russell Hobbs is a reliable brand and this toaster performs really well.

I like the look of this toaster it fits in well with my other kitchen appliances and the textured surfaces on the sides gives it interest.It has the usual functions of toasting and reheating, it also toasts frozen bread. The slots are wide enough for thick bread, crumpets or pancakes. It has the high lift feature to raise the toast up after it has popped to facilitate removal. There is no feature to check on a toasted item eg fruit toast halfway through. I also don’t like the crumb trap around the top of the slots but this seems to be the usual design for toasters and can be emptied by turning upside down, there are also removable crumb traps underneath the toaster.A nice looking four slice toaster.

What a great toaster this is from Russell Hobbs and i think the honeycomb design is just lovely. It looks great and the nice white look goes great in our kitchen.I like the functions on this too. When i pop up my toast on my existing toaster it doesn't lift the toast very high, however this Russell Hobbs one has a high lift feature which i find helpful. The standard eject and defrost features work well but i also like the reheat function that warms our toast up again which i again never had on our last toaster. With the honeycomb design on the walls of the unit it also allows for the cool handling.Overall a great toaster

this is such a cool looking toaster. It takes pride of place on my kitchen counter top and I am so happy with the product. The toaster has all the basic settings for cooking toast, be that fresh or frozen. I also use it to toast bagels even though there is no bagel setting it still worked.The slots are the perfect size to place bread in lying down and you can easily lift the trays nice and high to grab the toast out and not burn your hand. Overall, it’s a really great toaster that does exactly what a toaster needs to do and can so easily be wiped down with hot soapy water.

I tested the 4 slot Russell Hobbs Honeycomb toaster and have been satisfied with it to date.You can use all 4 slots or just 2 depending on how much toast you are needing - I have found the 4 slots handy when family are visiting.I found creating my favoured level of toasting easy to do.The toaster is sleek looking and not too big so fits in to a modern kitchen well. There is a matching kettle to complete a matching look.Russell Hobbs provide a 3 year guarantee too.I don’t have any issues with the toaster and therefore I’m happy to recommend.
