Russell Hobbs Colours Plus 2-Slice Toaster (RHT2655BLK)

This is a simple but effective toaster. It doesn't occupy much space on my kitchen bench, and it looks good. It defrosts and toasts, and it has an eject and stop button and a crumbs extractable tray. The knob can be pulled up when the toaster finishes so that the bread can be more easily picked up. The bread slots are spacious, something that I love as I tend to use breads of different thickness and types. Toasting is quick, but the quality of the toasting is average and rarely the same on the same setting with the same type of bread.

Read the instructions before using this toaster. Don't put bread the first time you use it because you'll get a terrible chemical burnt stench. The instructions say that this is 'curing' the materials. Whatever that means. I really disliked the chemical stench, but it didn't happen again.
 
I used to have a better taster from this brand, so I can say that this one is average quality. This one is a basic toaster at a affordable price. I bought this in a hurry after my previous one died, but I prefer fully stainless steel toasters that toast more evenly and consistently well.
