Russell Hobbs 2 Slice Attentiv Toaster with Colour Sense Technology; Adapts toasting time to bread type (Favourite settings memorised, Touch screen control, Lift & look, 1640W, Stainless Steel) 26210

I really loved this toaster when we first golly it - it toasted the bread perfectly and was easy to use. Unfortunately it has stopped working after 9 months and I feel very disappointed by this.

The toaster stoped working after few months !

Works prefectly! But aside from feeling like a premium fancy toaster, it functions exactly the same.The dial/levels work the same way a normal toadter does, and if you're doing back to back batches of toast, it needs turning down 1 level on subsequent goes as it's already hot. Haven't seen much difference from the "colour sense technology" but also havent gone deep diving into it yet.Looks great though and matches the Kettle nicely. It's pricey for what it is, but certainly feels fancy and gets a lot of comments when we have people stay over.

What a fantastic toaster , got to be the fastest toaster and cooks so evenly would highly recommend this toaster you definitely pay for what you get . Worth every penny

These look great on the counter and do a great job of providing two very evenly toasted peace's of bread. It is fantastic to find a taster that toasts evenly right to the sides and corners of the bread this well. (A disclaimer: So far I have only used this with standard sized 'Hovis Style' brown and white bread.)Something that originally amazed me was how fast these seem to pop up in comparison to our old toaster. I had already thrown our old four slice toaster out when this arrived but it feels like, despite having to do two rounds of toasting, I can produce four slices in about the same.I have knocked off one star because of the range of toast levels. There are 5 total levels, and while there is a perfect setting for my taste, my wife either has to have her toast either very slightly underdone or very slightly overdone compared to what she would consider perfect.This is expensive compared to much of the competition but I feel it is worth it for the look and build quality of the item. Looks great on the counter with the matching kettle, and I am very tempted to stretch our budget a little and buy the coffee machine as well.

It lasted 6 months. Now the control panel comes on but it refuses to toast. It's not worth trying to repair it.I liked its faster heating element and convenience, but the browning density bars are too course a measure - it needed numbers or a dial.I'll find another brand next time. Something cheaper.

I have used this on the crumpet (one side only) and full toast settings. Do I need a toaster with a motor to lower and raise the bread? No, but I love the feature. It also copes well with different thicknesses of toast with a metal cradle that opens wide when you put the bread in and then closes to centre the bread as it is lowered. If I am honest, this is a bit of an indulgence when it comes to a toaster. However, the single piece cast and general build quality are great and I don't regret the purchase.
