About Salter

Salter are a long standing brand of home and kitchenware. Started in 1760, they've become a well known company in the UK. They sell toasters, kettles, grills, soup makers, coffee machines, blenders, mixers, air fryers, cutlery, and more. They're a popular choice of brand. Their kettles and toasters are particularly common.

Specification

We now take a look at the features in more depth:

• Variable Browning - Six browning settings will give you all you need to make your ideal toast. Whether you like only a gentle crisp, or a more intense crunchy dark brown, the Opulence Toaster can accommodate.
• Cool Touch Housing - The exterior of the toaster will remain cool to the touch. A neat little safety feature.
• Wide Slots - As you can see, the toaster has large slots which fit larger slices of bread, crumpets, etc.
• Defrost / Reheat / Cancel - "Defrost" can turn completely frozen slices of bread into toast very quickly without making it soggy. This is perfect if you've forgotten to defrost a loaf of bread beforehand. "Reheat" is able to heat already made toast back up to its original temperature, without toasting from scratch. "Cancel" stops the toasting early.
• Removable Crumb Tray - There's a removable crumb tray underneath the toaster. It allows for a quick and easy clean up.
• Integrated Cord Storage - Excess electrical cable is stored in the toaster, rather than being left sitting on your worktop.

Summary

In summary, the Salter Opulence Toaster has a good design as well as many useful features. The combination of indigo, stainless steel and beige accents really do bring the design together and enhance the aesthetic. It's strong in terms of features also, with browning control, wide slots, a defrost button, a reheat function, cool-touch housing, and more. We rate the Opulence Toaster 4.5 out of 5 stars.
