A dreadful toaster... This is an absolutely dreadful toaster. I like long slot toasters - but they're rare - so after reading the favourable reviews for this I bought one to replace my unreliable Russell Hobbs Glass Toaster (see my review of that) but it's hopeless - even considering I only paid £10 for it!
