Russell Hobbs Toaster 2 Slice (6 Browning Levels, High-Lift Feature, Frozen, Reheat and Cancel Settings, Removable Crumb Tray, Textured Exterior, Raspberry Pink) Eden 27372

Absolutely love this Russell Hobbs Eden 2 Slice Toaster! The pink color is such a lovely touch – it adds a pop of charm to the kitchen without being too loud. It's been super reliable and has worked exactly as intended since day one. Toasts evenly, heats up quickly, and the controls are simple and easy to use.For the price, it's a total win – stylish, functional, and affordable. Couldn’t ask for more in a toaster. Highly recommend!

Matches the kettle from the same brand.Well you have to...don’t you? Even though, as ‘Other Half’ pointed out...when not in use, our toaster lives in the cupboard! However, at the discounted price (at the time of order), there was little else said.It is better than my previous toaster, mainly because my favourite bread (which is longer than most slices) fits in, so eliminates the need to turn it. With generous sized slots in terms of width, too, it does a grand job with my 'doubler' (2-slices frozen together), resulting in a nice dark shade for me (browning level 5) on the outside and still soft on the inside, ready for a spreading of marmalade. There is slightly more leverage in raising shorter toast (e.g. milk-roll rounds or crumpets) at the end, and the pop-up, when ready, is not quite as noisy.I found that typically ‘new’ odour disappeared after a couple of dry runs on the maximum setting, as advised in the instructions (image below refers).IMO, the 800W, 2-slice toaster would make an ideal gift. It comes complete with instruction booklet in a sturdy, branded cardboard box (no plastic-type, inner packaging) measuring around 18 cm square x 33 cm, and has a 2-year (limited) guarantee (+ 1 extra year, with online registration).Presented in a pleasant lemon shade and textured for the main part, the contrast is a shiny silver colour; the brand-name nicely subdued in white on one long side. The flex is also white (yay!) and a good length at around 85 cm (not including the UK plug). There is an in-built cord tidy on the base.Surprisingly lightweight in hand, the 2-slice toaster I received measures roughly 28 cm overall (allowing for the protruding knob) x 16.5 cm wide x 19 cm tall, standing sturdy on 4 little ‘feet’.The 2.5 cm diameter knob has browning levels ‘1-6’, the numbers in a pale grey shade, with an audible click, on selection. The 'stop/eject' button glows blue when the toaster is on, as does the ‘cook from frozen’ button.The crumb collector is a reasonable size and is located on the base, at the back (the short side opposite to the controls). It simply slides out.I find that the 'polypropylene' surface is easy to clean with a damp cloth; the silver coloured areas requiring an occasional buff-up.Now...if it came with a slot cover like my very, very old toaster did, I would be ecstatic, for then I would show it off alongside the aforementioned kettle. For me, though, I worry too much about dust and the likes that float around a busy kitchen. However, as few toasters do these days, I can’t otherwise fault it, especially at the discounted price.Other colours are currently available.Any problems, I will be back!<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<EDIT:25/05/25>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>No problems to report, and at the same discounted price, I have now ordered the 𝙍𝙖𝙨𝙥𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙮 version for a very special person in my life!

Overall, I’m happy with this toaster: it heats up quickly, gives a nice, even toast, and looks neat on the counter. Controls are simple and consistent, so it’s easy to get the level of browning you want without guesswork.The one drawback, and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5, is the slot height. A standard slice of bread doesn’t fit fully — there’s about 2–3 cm left sticking out at the top, which means you either end up with a pale strip or you have to flip the slice halfway through. It’s not a deal-breaker, but it is a little inconvenient for everyday use.If you mostly toast smaller loaves, crumpets, or bagels, you’ll probably love it. For regular, taller slices, just be prepared to flip or run a short extra cycle. Good performance and tidy design, but I wish the slots were a touch taller.

So here’s the deal—being gluten-free isn’t just about swapping out bread, it’s about dealing with the fact that gluten-free bread behaves like some weird science experiment gone wrong. It’s smaller, crumblier, and has this annoying habit of either refusing to toast or instantly turning into charcoal. After far too many mornings scraping blackened crumbs off my old toaster, I figured it was time for an upgrade. Enter the Russell Hobbs Eden 2 Slice Toaster.First off, it looks great. I mean, who doesn’t love a raspberry-colored toaster? It adds a nice pop of color to my kitchen, which is mostly full of boring white appliances. But more importantly, it actually works with gluten-free bread. The high-lift feature is a game-changer because gluten-free slices are usually tiny, and in my old toaster, I’d have to perform some delicate finger acrobatics to get them out without burning myself. With this one? Just pop the lever up and grab your toast—no singed fingertips required.The browning settings are also surprisingly accurate. With gluten-free bread, you kind of have to find the sweet spot—too light and it’s still weirdly gummy, too dark and it’s rock-hard. After some trial and error, I found setting 4 works perfectly for my brand of bread, getting that golden, crisp edge while still keeping the inside soft enough to spread butter without ripping the slice apart.And let’s talk about the frozen bread function because I pretty much live off frozen gluten-free loaves (seriously, why is fresh GF bread always twice the price?). This thing actually defrosts and toasts evenly, which is a miracle in itself. I used to have to defrost my bread separately before toasting, which was just another morning hassle I didn’t need. Now, I throw a frozen slice in, press the button, and boom—perfect toast.I also appreciate the removable crumb tray because gluten-free crumbs seem to multiply like rabbits. My old toaster had a crumb collection that was basically a fire hazard, but this one’s easy to slide out and clean.Overall, I wasn’t expecting much—I just wanted something that wouldn’t turn my gluten-free toast into a breakfast crime scene. But this toaster has actually made mornings easier, and for that, I’m officially a fan. If you’re gluten-free and tired of battling tiny, unpredictable slices, this one is 100% worth it.

The Russell Hobbs Eden 2 Slice Toaster combines sleek design with reliable performance. I love its modern, stylish look that complements my kitchen decor. Toasting is quick and consistent, with adjustable browning control to get the perfect crunch every time. The crumb tray is easy to remove and clean, which helps keep my countertop tidy. The compact size is perfect for everyday use without taking up too much space. Overall, this toaster offers great value, combining aesthetic appeal with efficient functionality.
