Russell Hobbs Adventure Toaster Review

The Russell Hobbs Adventure Toaster is a sleek and stylish 2 slice or 4 slice toaster with variable browning control, extra wide slots to allow for the toasting of larger items, a lift and look function without interrupting the toasting cycle and independent two slice operation for the 4 slice toaster. One of its main features is its ability to evenly toast bread.

From a style perspective, the toaster is finished in a combination of brushed and polished stainless steel. It also has black plastic accents, e.g. the variable browning knob, the levers, etc. The 4 slice toaster is pictured directly below, and the 2 slice below that:

Summary

The Russell Hobbs Adventure Toaster is, in our view, up to scratch. It sports a sleek mix of brushed and polished stainless steel, and the design is completed with black plastic accents. It has many standard features expected from modern toasters including browning control, even toasting, crumb trays for an easy clean up, etc. We particularly like the lift and look feature which gives you a sneak peek at how your toast is doing. Overall, we rate the Adventure Toaster 4.5 out of 5 stars.
