This toaster is an absolute beast! I was so tired of toasters doing their one and only job so poorly. Burnt on the edges, not quite cooked in the middle, cooked one side and not the other etc etc. I am 65 and have seen a few toasters in my life from sunbeam through to de longhi but this one is without a doubt the best so far. You will not be disappointed with this purchase. I don't usually bother with reviews but I really felt like this toaster deserved one.

We bought this purely because we have a miner of sage items, and well sage offer great customer service and the items we have are really good. The toaster to be fair is a toaster. But the crumpets option is good. Get a nice toast on one side and a little gentle on the other. Great on hot cross buns. Didn’t realise the lowering mechanism is electronic which is really cool!! Only downside I had (once) it a crumpet got caught in the gage when the item had finished. Because it’s motorised it didn’t detect this and proceeded to raise the crumpets. One got sliced in half and made a mess. But only done this once and it could have been user error. But I’m happy with it.

This toaster does what it says. When you press the toast button, the bread is automatically lowered into the toaster - neat! There are leds that visually count down the toast time so you can see the progress. The wide slots let you toast thick slices etc. It includes special settings for crumpets and fruit loaf. The crumpet setting, I think, just does one side of the crumpet. There's a useful button to let you have a 'quick look' to see how the toast is doing - the toast is raised and then lowered again in once smooth movement. If the toast needs a bit longer there's a 'bit more' button (or you can just put in on again). The four slots are paired so the settings for each group of two are independent. A useful, fun, piece of equipment!
