Russell Hobbs Honeycomb Toaster Review

The Russell Hobbs Honeycomb Toaster is a toaster textured with indented honeycomb shapes. It's available with 2 slices or 4 slices, and comes in black, cream, grey or white. Each model has stainless steel accents which makes the toaster look professional and modern. One feature we particularly like are the extra wide slots to allow for thicker varieties of bread.

The toaster's other features include a high lift mechanism for easy access, the ability to toast from frozen, reheat or cancel the toasting, a convenient and easy to use removable crumb tray, and control over the level of browning.

Specification

We now take a quick look at the features:

• Two Designs - 2 Slices or 4 Slices.
• Extra Wide Slots - The slots are extra wide to allow for the toasting of thicker pieces of bread.
• High Lift - The high lift makes it easy to get the toast out without burning your finger tips.
• Frozen, Reheat and Cancel Buttons - There are three buttons on the side. These are "Frozen" which will heat the bread from a frozen state, "Reheat" if you need to put the bread in for a bit longer, and "Cancel" to stop the toasting altogether. These button illuminate if they're active. There are two sets of these buttons for the four slice toaster.
• Variable Browning Dial - There's a variable browning function with five settings. For the four slice toaster, there's a browning dial for both pairs of slots.
• Removable Crumb Tray - There's a removable crumb tray for a quick and easy clean. The four slice model has two trays.
