Philips HD2648

The batch and frozen tests produced very evenly browned toast right up to the edges. Thick sliced bread fitted in easily. Bagels browned evenly

The top edge of thick sliced bread poked up above the elements and remained un-toasted. The rear positioned crumb trays make emptying them a little awkward and the shiny finish shows finger-marks easily

Very efficient and toasts the whole slice in one go instead of having to turn the slice over as you do in some machines. It looks very expensive but it wasn't. Excellent value for money

Bo bad points

Looks great, matches our philips kettle

Occasionally, one side of the bread toasts more than the other. Slots could be slightly bigger. But, is any toaster perfect

nice design, looks good, compact

one side of bread toasted, other side hardly touched

Easy to use and user friendly controls

None so far

good looks but does not hold on to the bread for the required time and pops up before finished, therefore if it goes back in it can then end up overdone or burnt! so you have to keep your eye on it, but some times it gets it right! is it the weight of...

Does not trigger the food at the desired time,other than that it would be fine, this is the second one as the first one did not work in bay no3 and only toasted one side

good value for money, timer sometimes plays up otherwise definatley recommended

Smaller than other 4 slice toasters ; Simple design, not overly fancy or complicated

The springs on one side are not as good as the other - wondering how long it will last and whether it will break
