Automatic toaster AT 2509

Most reviews are good, mine falls easily into that category. The toaster arrived, not well packed as the manufacturers box was covered in cling film as the only protection, and the box was a little damaged, having travelled from the supplier in Poland! However the toaster was in perfect condition and looks much smarter in black and stalnless steel than its plastic predecessor. Shame about the plug adaptor which makes the overall plug project a long way out. When I am sure that it continues to perform well I will change the plug for a standard English 13A one. The long slots will just take 4 slices of my Warburtons brown seeded bread which are larger than the standard british white loaf. So that's fine. Once I had established the correct setting, the toast is consistently browned, and large unsliced bread toasts at the same setting. The built in bun warmer lift up rack is well designed to sit discretely into the toaster. The toast takes slightly longer to toast than I would have expected but a small price to pay for a good looking machine which sits nicely at the rear of the worktop out of the way, which is more than I could say about the majority of toasters that are square in plan. 2 long slots seems so much more sensible if you also use large unsliced bread. Time will tell over its consistency in toasting and how long it will serve its purpose, but I would have no hesitation in recommending it.

Good quality and easily controllabe.

Based on my needs, i.e. Stainless steel, long slot and guarantee, and after a lot of research, I decided on this (slightly expensive) toaster. In the instructions it tells you to go through at least five toasting cycles at the maximum temperature setting before use. During the first cycle I was a bit shocked at the smell coming out of the toaster. So, I set it under the extractor fan, running at full blast, for the rest of the cycles. But... I didn't stop at five cycles as it was still putting out this terrible smell. Eventually, it stopped smelling, but, it was about 7/8 cycles before it did. But! The "heat insulated stainless steel housing" was boiling hot! This doesn't seem to happen with ordinary use, but if you've a large amount of bread to toast, unlike our four slices, it might be worth taking precautions - especially with children in the home. (Four stars because of this.) As stated, we usually have four slices of bread to toast, but, I have to do two at a time and lay them horizontally to be able to toast the whole slice. Otherwise it leaves about 1.5 cm (just over half an inch), un-toasted at the top. (We have Warburtons whole meal.) That said, the toast is perfectly done, so, I'm very happy with that.! The warming rack is very handy as well. My toaster DID come with a UK plug, which I verified before ordering. The toaster does look nice, doesn't take up a lot of space, has a two year guarantee, will toast my very tall bread, and has a warming rack. I would recommend this but do research what your needs are and read, read, read the reviews before choosing which one you buy. Hope this proves useful to someone else.

Love this toaster - does tiger bread from asda spot on for me. One thing to make a note of - the instructions state to run the toaster a few times when you take it out of the box. Do this. It might smell a bit but don't worry that's the new car smell. Once you've done this a few times you should be good to go. Crumpets were spot on as well.

We wanted a replacement long-slot 4-slice toaster, not many of them around these days. Our old cheapo plastic thing was great but gave up after 5+ years. So we thought we'd go "up-market" - "UPMARKET !!!???" ... Read on folks! At first (and after we'd followed the "running-in" procedure) the Severin looked the business. BUT then, and for us the Severin has just got worse & worse & WORSE day-by-day:- 1. Of course bread & buns come in different sizes but (as is endlessly reported below - as we now-and-too-late see!) the slots aren’t deep enough to take our perfectly-ordinary UK Tesco 'Farmhouse' slices or wide enough to take ordinary Tesco/M&S hot-cross buns (unless one is immaculately careful about cutting them super-precisely in half) and certainly not wide enough for bagels etc. This means that you have to be prepared to trim, in our case trim EVERYTHING every time = BORING, not to say wasteful - and more washing-up! (Looking inside it does look as if the slots could easily be deeper - whatever, they're neither deep enough nor wide enough for perfectly ordinary UK bread or buns = very ANNOYING … or do I mean very CRAZY?). We're now left wondering, is this toaster in reality designed for a market that doesn't use ordinary UK-sized breads? If so WHY DON'T SEVERIN & AMAZON SAY SO AND EXPLAIN THIS? Had they done so of course we wouldn't have bought it. And then things get ... even WORSE:- 2. The Amazon page has 3 photos showing toast in the Severin - all 3 of which CLEARLY show FOUR slices of toast - exactly as this page also CLEARLY states: so, on that understanding, we bought it. But, when it arrives, its instruction-book CLEARLY says, "This appliance is intended only for toasting single bread slices in each toast slot ... Toasting of several slices of bread in one slot ... must not be attempted" = UTTER-NUTSVILLE! ... and of course the instructions go on to say, and in bold, "Any use other than described in these instructions must be considered improper and may lead to personal injury or material damage". So THANK YOU, Severin/Amazon - THAT'S JUST GREAT! Moving on ... 3. The browning control-knob isn't (even remotely) easy-enough to read - we have to get a torch out to read it! We feel this is a clear-as-crystal example of how poorly and how sloppily thought-through the whole Severin design is - we find its ergonomics are really, really BAD. 4. On ours (and despite what Severin's instructions say about, "In the case of bread specifically intended for toasting, we recommend a browning control setting of 3 to 4) anything above heat-setting 3 max. (out of 6) is useless - it just burns things ... even soggy hot-cross-buns can't quite take setting 2. And the adjustments aren't even-remotely sensitive/fine enough: 1.75 leaves our hot-cross buns underdone, 2 begins to burn them! 5. Ours doesn't toast (even single!) slices remotely-evenly on both sides. The internal 'divider'-element seems a lot stronger than the two outer elements. Set to 2 (or just under, depending on the bread), the internal sides come out over-done, the external sides hardly browned at all ... WHAAATTT!!! - we thought this was supposed to be a GOOD toaster that WORKS properly! 6. The cable-tidy is ridiculous, leaving either not-enough or too-much cable lying about on the worktop = REALLY-bad ergonomics AGAIN. 7. We bought the Severin largely because it's German - but neither the quality nor the ergonomics look or feel remotely 'German' to us - it sure ain't made by VW or Mercedes! It's as far away from "Vorsprung Durch Technik” as we can possibly imagine. (Yes, it says 'Made in China' underneath) 8. So, unlike with our Russell Hobbs 2-slice 'Texas', we're now not EVEN REMOTELY 'in love' with our Severin: the Russel-Hobbs (considerably better-made we'd say - and with its properly-wide & its all-important 2.5cm deeper slots, its accurate and simple browning-adjustment and its thought-through and easily-readable good-ergonomics design) was under half the Severin's price (Ok, I'd like to be able to admit for half the number of slices! But then THAT turns out to be not even true = NUTSVILLE again!) 8. Our daughter said that IF we were happy with ours she'd buy an, er, 4-slice Severin too. No, (sadly) that ain't going to happen ... by a thousand +++ miles. After a few weeks of trying we're beginning to think that this is the ONLY really bad Amazon product we've EVER bought. Oh, and the stainless steel housing is now beginning to go blotchy: it looks dirty - but it's not. The instructions say, "To clean the housing, it is only necessary to wipe the outside with a slightly damp cloth" = RUBBISH - ours gets increasingly blotchy, so grubby-looking, by the day. So:- 9. A month on, we’ve now completely 'had it' with this thing. So we're going back to our trusty (and excellent) Russell Hobbs until we've found a proper long-slot/4-slice replacement. We should of course return the 'ridiculous' Severin in disappointment - and in quite some irritation: returning/rejecting something would be an Amazon 'first' for us out of hundreds(?) of happy Amazon purchases. BUT we read below about hassles and only partial (30%) refunds etc. We can't face the hassle - on top of the disappointment. So we're going to stick the thing away at the back of a cupboard in case of some future toaster-less 'emergency'. And then .... 10. We're going to start looking for a 4-slice long-slot toaster that does what it claims to do - and that then actually WORKS.

Attractive looking toaster, but disappointing functional use. Slots are very narrow, struggled to toast half a warburtons tea cake! They’re also not very deep so a standard slice of white bread doesn’t get toasted on top. My toast was unevenly toasted too. One side was darker than the other .

Jammer dat duur beetje lang om je brood krokant te krijgen maar de rest werkt prima!👍

I've been using the toaster for about 3 months now. I like the design, clean and minimal and looks good on my black kitchen counter top. Works perfectly, slots are long and big enough for proper bread slices.

Broke in 7 months. It would not hold down any more. If I want to heat a toast i have keep holding the lever down my self.

El diseño y funcionalidad es justo lo que necesito. Sin embargo cuando me llegó me percaté de que el voltaje del producto (220v) no es compatible con el de la red eléctrica en Mexico (110v) por lo que lo tuve que devolver.
