Russell Hobbs 21293-56 Legacy Black toaster, toast technology, 6 browning levels (household goods)

Customer Review

The toaster from the Legacy Collection of Russell Hobbs sees no doubt from modern and stylish. Its surface is made of polished stainless steel and black plastic, shape and design are a real eyecatcher.

Due to a width of about 15 cm and a depth of about 25.5 cm it can find its place without problems in a kitchenette or corner. Its height is about 21 cm, with warming rack about 24 cm.

The power cord is only about 74 cm long, the possibility of cord storage located on the underbody. Nevertheless, it will probably be needed an extension cord for the use of the toaster at the table.

All controls are mounted on the short side, which I find extremely useful, whereas the crumb tray should be pulled backwards.

In addition to the now standard belonging stop function of Russell Hobbs toaster has a defrost and reheat function that provide both fairly decent results, which warmed toast quite simply a matter of taste in my eyes.

In the two extra wide toast slots are also slightly thicker slices of bread that are automatically centered.
Can rotate by simply button finally choose between six browning levels with fine tuning.

In practice, however, shows the normal toasting process that at level 3 The finished product is no longer really enjoy. Because black, charred toast does not taste to me personally.
Meanwhile, I've tried various settings. Even at level 1, 2 or 3, it was until now mostly a fluke to keep at the end of crunchy, tasty toasts in his hand. Either the discs were soft and limp or hard sided and dark brown to black roasted.

Moreover, in my opinion makes the advertised Quick Toast technology hardly noticeable. My old no-name toaster does not go much slower.

With the warming rack I'm also not completely satisfied. While he sits quite firmly and securely on the device, but it can be placed only two small, narrow rolls, which are then warmed up sufficiently or baked.

The Legacy Black Russell Hobbs toaster convinced me visually and in some functions, but revenues and earnings in the ordinary toasting to be desired in my opinion left.
