Russell Hobbs Structure Toaster Review

The Russell Hobbs Structure Toaster is a contemporary four slice toaster with a glossy black textured casing. It incorporates elements of stainless steel into the design, most notably the levers, around the bottom and along the top. This enhances the design and makes the Structure Toaster look modern and professional.

From a feature perspective, the structure toaster has many. It has a variable browning dial to adjust the duration of the toasting, resulting in toast with your favourite colour and texture. It also has a lift and look feature so you can check on the progress of your toast without stopping the cycle. There's also the usual defrost button, reheat button and removable crumb trays.

Specification

We now look at the features:

• Variable Browning - There are six browning options, ranging from light brown, to golden brown, all the way up to dark and crunchy. There are plenty of settings to match your preferred colour and texture. There are two browning dials, one for each side.
• Defrost / Reheat / Cancel - "Defrost" will defrost frozen slices of bread without making them soggy. It also works on bread which has only just come out of the freezer. "Reheat" will warm up toast which has cooled down. "Cancel" stops the toasting cycle prematurely. These controls illuminate blue when active.
• Lift & Look - The lift and look function allows you to lift up your toast for a sneak peak without stopping the cycle.
• Removable Crumb Trays - There are two removable crumb trays, one for each side. They can be emptied as and when needed.
