I love the brand Russel Hobbs most of my kitchen appliances are this brand so of course I wasn't giving up the chance to snap this up! I love this colour of this toaster it's so bright and colourful! The material of this one is slightly more on the plastic side which is fine if you're not being rough as I'd dread to think about cracking. When using for the first time I did get that new plastic burnt smell which I've had on previous new toasters so I can imagine this eventually going, the toaster toasts to my personal perfection ! I do love this toaster but as a family of 5 a 2 slicer is better of for smaller families or maybe ideal for an office area. I would and will definitely be purchasing more products from Russel Hobbs again.
