Fast toaster with retro charm

Russell Hobbs 21390-56 Chester long slot toaster, 6 adjustable browning levels, bun warmer (household goods)

Customer Review

I already have 2 similar long slot toaster with whom I want to compare the Russell Hobbs: the knights toaster volcano 3 with high-quality aluminum front that I use currently, and the Cloer frosted 3810 Toaster stainless steel, which I used before, but its housing over the time had suffered very visually and I have therefore discarded.

The knight plays priced in a different league and is the only produced in Germany toaster, but the Cloer costs about the same as the Russell Hobbs (RH).

Externals
The RH makes clear an on retro. These probably include the pretty beefy shape of the device. It is by far the widest of the three toaster. Convenient is not it, because the device also takes away a lot of space. The casing is partly of plastic and partly of metal. A consistently high-quality impression the exterior can not convey, acts as the lower skirt of black plastic rather cheaply.

Processing
The processing seems to be quite good. The slide runs smooth as silk; the operation is really a pleasure. When Cloer this is not the case; the slide grinds with a rather large resistance and squeak slightly during actuation. The knight in turn runs very soft, but is a little heavier than normal as the RH. Almost a joke is the spiddeldürre construction of rolls essay that is simply placed on the toaster just so. This affects not very stable and is not practical. I prefer an integrated solution in the housing as the Knights.

Toast preparation
The RH is the fastest of the three toaster. However, he paid for that with a high wattage, that is a high power consumption. The toast is browned slightly uneven than with my other devices. The heating wires are very far apart and when you look in the device during operation, you can see that some of the wires glow barely or not.
The toast is still pretty good. With proper choice of tanning level you get a nice crispy outside, but the inside still soft toast, I like it. Sounds trivial, but that does not succeed with any device. Especially cheap cell phones dry the bread more than they roast it.
The toaster also has a setting to toast frozen bread.
The housing remains quite chilly during toasting. No risk that you burn your fingers.

The device leaves a mixed impression on me. On one hand, the retro design does not look bad, on the other hand it seems at times a bit cheap on closer viewing. Add to this that the housing is very expansive and thus unnecessarily takes away a lot of space. Strange also very uneven glow of the heating wires, which I have so seen in any device.
Of my three devices I like the knight best. But the comparably priced Cloer I would give preference; its design and its technology make me a better impression.
