Product Information

The handy extra lift position makes it simple to retrieve smaller slices of bread or crumpets without the risk of burnt fingers. The front is somewhat cluttered with controls, but it’s got more or less every feature you could wish for. If you’d like the very best results from a four-slice toaster I’d recommend the Dualit Brushed Architect Four-Slice Toaster, which is cheaper than the De’Longhi. The Distinta Flair collection is truly unique – just like those that select it to grace their worktop.

I prefer the convenience of a front crumb tray but most modern designs have rear ones for cleaner lines. This isn’t hard to do, but when the dials only turn in 90-degree increments, it doesn’t feel like it was designed to work this way.

We loved its unusual industrial look, with brushed chrome, dials with six browning settings in place of the traditional knob, and soft angles that give it an Art Deco feel. rapid toasting function ensures you won’t be waiting around and there are 6 programmes to choose from to ensure you get your toast just how you like it.

The only downside is the size, which we're happy to live with when we’re looking at such a great all-rounder.

However, a four-slot design like this isn’t as flexible as a model with two long slots, which can then take a whole pitta lying down or a whole slice from the middle of a big round loaf. Control is fully variable so you can crisp your toast as you like it and you can operate 2 slots independently of the others.
