Currently available at Argos for £30, this four-slice toaster has a classy retro style, with illuminated control dials reminiscent of a vintage radio. Made of hard-wearing stainless steel, it comes in a fetching matt green (above) or black finish.
The right and left hand slots can be controlled separately, with each featuring defrost and reheat modes, as well as nine toasting levels to choose from. The 'lift and look' function also allows you to check on your toast mid-cycle, and the high-lift lever lets you remove smaller slices with ease.
Vete Ochre 4 Slice Toaster
How cute is this sunny yellow four-slice toaster from Dunelm? Currently on sale at £22.50, you won't find this size of toaster for much cheaper - and we reckon it looks considerably more expensive.
