Tower Scandi Toaster Review

The Tower Scandi Toaster is an elegantly designed two slice Nordic themed toaster inspired by signature Scandinavian minimalism. It's available in four colours, so you can tailor it specifically to your kitchen's theme. The colours are Grey With Wood Accents, Marshmallow Pink Ash, Sage Green and White With Wood Accents. Each of the designs has a wood effect browning control dial and toasting lever.

The Scandi Toaster has what you'd expect from a modern toaster. There's a seven option browning control designed to give you plenty of choice over the colour and texture of your toast. The defrost function is perhaps the most useful, particularly if you've forgotten to defrost bread beforehand. The Scandi Toaster also has wide slots to fit large thick cut slices of bread, crumpets, muffins, and similar.

Specification

We now look at the list of features:

• Adjustable Browning - There are seven levels of browning on offer, which affect the texture and colour of your toast. The weakest setting will provide gently tanned toast, and the most extreme will ensure the bread is hard, dark and crunchy.
• Defrost - Defrost will quickly toast bread from a frozen state, whilst ensuring that it won't go soggy.
• Reheat - If you get distracted then you can come back to your toast and quickly heat it back up again as if it were freshly toasted.
• Wide Slots - The toaster is fitted with extra wide slots. This means that you can toast extra thick slices of home made bread, crumpets, muffins, etc.
• Removable Crumb Tray - Underneath the slots is a convenient pull out crumb tray which helps to keep your worktop clear.
