When it comes to choosing a toaster, there are an awful lot to choose from, but I was frequently disappointed by the customer reviews I found on line. No matter what the price range, it seemed impossible to find a toaster people were really happy with. Luckily the Krups Expert 2-Slice Toaster was released a few months ago. I'm not usually a fan of stainless steel appliances, but in this case I was willing to forgive it due to it's thorough design. With a relatively compact design, the Krups expert doesn't aim to take over your countertop. It features wide slots perfect for bagels and a unique carriage control which should end the need for toast tongs. It delivers even small crumpets or buns right to the top where it's easy to grab them. It is super quick, and offers eight levels of browning control to ensure your toast comes out just how you like it. With additional features like the Re-heat and Frozen settings, a mid-cycle cancel button, a removable bun warmer and easy to access crumb tray it's no surprise that both Which? And Consumer Reports are reported to have rated it highly. We've not had it long, but so far we've been thrilled with the Krups Expert Toaster FEM231 which we purchased from John Lewis for £39.95.
