Philips HD2647

The Philips HD2647 is an 1800-watt 4-slice toaster that browns toast evenly according to your requirements thanks to 7 different settings. In stainless steel with black sides and dials, the design is simple and classic with rounded edges.

The chamber slots measure 136mm x 28mm x 130mm and can be adjusted to suit your preferences for thick and thin slices. The 2 sides operate independently of each other so you can toast 2 slices on their own, or pop 4 in at the same time.

To get the best results from frozen items, use the defrost setting first, and then brown them off. Use the high-lift function for smaller items, and reheat slices that have cooled off. If you change your mind, simply stop the cycle using the instant cancel button. The various functions are easy to operate.

The exterior stays cool to the touch and there’s an automatic shut-off facility for extra safety, plus non-slip feet. The cord storage facility keeps surfaces free from clutter. Cleaning is simple; just pull out the crumb tray on the base of the toaster. Priced at £49.99, it’s a durable mid-range toaster.
