Russell Hobbs Geo Steel Toaster Review

The Russell Hobbs Geo Steel Toaster is a 2 slice contemporary stainless steel toaster with a beautiful textured geometric aesthetic, and polished accents. It has extra wide slots so it can toast larger items such as bagels, crumpets, tea cakes, large frozen slices of bread, etc. It's also equipped with fast toasting technology, and is much faster than the Russell Hobbs 23310 Toaster, which Russell Hobbs tested it against.

The Geo Steel Toaster has a pair of integrated tong to allow for easy toast removal. This means an end to burnt fingers. The toaster will illuminate clearly when it's working. It also has a lift and look function so you can have a sneak peek at how well your toast is browning. Speaking of browning, it also has a variable browning slider with 6 options.

Specification

We now take a look at the specification:

• Wide Slots - The toaster has wide slots to facilitate the toasting of large frozen sizes of bread, crumpets, tea cakes, bagels, and more.
• Frozen, Cancel and Reheat - The "Frozen" function allows the toaster to toast bread straight from the freezer. "Cancel" stops the toasting mid-way through. "Reheat" gives a quick blast to warm the toast back up.
• Lift and Look - If you want to check on your toast without stopping the toasting cycle, you can use the lift and look function to do so.
• Integrated Tongs - The toaster comes with a pair of tongs to allow you to remove your finished toast without being burnt.
• Variable Browning Slide - The toaster allows for six settings of browning. Everything from slightly crispy to golden brown to extremely brown, if that's your thing.
