Russell Hobbs 13899

A good, all-round budget toaster at around £24.99, the Russell Hobbs 13899 4-slice toaster is a compact model that boasts a number of useful functions.

First we have the frozen bread setting, which is great if you need to toast slices straight from the freezer. Next is the adjustable electronic browning control function, which allows you to choose your preferred shade every time.

Wide toasting slots enable you to enjoy both thick and thin slices of bread, whilst the self-centring guides ensure slices are evenly browned instead of patchy. The 2 sides of the toaster can be used independently of each other, so you can cook both sets to different shades of brown if you like.

Warm up cold items using the re-heat button, or eject slices at any time using the cancel function. There’s an easily removable crumb tray at the bottom for no-fuss cleaning.

The design is simple and contemporary, with rounded edges at the top and base. Chrome levers, dials, buttons, and chambers match the white body of the toaster well, giving it a stylish finish.
