Tower Ombre Toaster Review

The Tower Ombre Toaster is a modern, sleek and stylish brushed stainless steel 2 slice toaster. It has a beautiful ombre (fade) effect design, and is available in two colours - Graphite (white/grey fade) and Copper (white/copper fade). Not only can it toast bread, it can also toast larger items such as crumpets and muffins.

Practically speaking, the Ombre 2 Slice Toaster is comparable to modern toasters. It has seven browning options which allow you to toast your bread to perfection in terms of colour and texture. The slots are fitted with self-centring guides which give the toast an even browning. It also has a defrost button to allow you to toast frozen slices of bread without them getting soggy. We list the features in more detail soon.

Summary

Given the above, the Tower Ombre Toaster is a solid toaster, with a brushed stainless steel finish and two ombre effect colour schemes available. It's capable of toasting larger items too such as crumpets and bagels, which is a huge upside. There's plenty of control over the colour and texture of your toast with the seven option browning dial, along with the defrost, reheat and cancel functions. Overall, we rate the Tower Ombre Toaster 4.5 out of 5 stars.
