De'Longhi Distinta Flair 4 slot toaster, reheat, defrost, one-side bagel & 6 browning settings, matte metallic design, CTI4003.S, Silver

Product Information

We loved its unusual industrial look, with brushed chrome, dials with six browning settings in place of the traditional knob, and soft angles that give it an Art Deco feel. In this guide, you'll find toasters with varying slice space, looks, styles and features from well-loved brands such as De'Longhi, Breville, Dualit, Morphy Richards, Smeg, and Cuisinart.

There’s no setting for just browning the cut side of a bagel but as we don’t object to ours gently toasted on both sides, rather than the more traditional one side, that didn’t pose a problem.You can turn down the browning for the same effect, but all models do come with this in some capacity.

The two slots are wide and as with most others toasters we looked at, it has a high-lift function making things easy to remove without getting burnt. Founded in the early twentieth century in Treviso, De’Longhi are an Italian engineering company famous for their stylish and high-quality home appliances.If you are willing to tolerate some finagling with this, it is an easy-to-use and effective toaster at your basics. You can control the dial on both sides of the toaster, so if a lack of variable settings is off-putting, this one will suit your family's various toast preferences. If you like your bread thick sliced, or hand-cut then, look for one that has slots made to accommodate any size, with mechanisms that hold bread central, whatever it’s width.
