Sage BTA845UK the Smart Toaster 4 Slice Motorised Toaster - Silver

Product Information

It only offers five browning settings, but our testers found setting three adequate, leaving more options for those who prefer darker toast. This winning two-slice ProCook model provided consistent colour and edge-to-edge coverage, even when batch toasting. Are you a fan of chunky artisan bread, or loaves with large slices that your toaster might struggle to hold? This timeless toaster’s bagel function is designed to toast the inside to perfection while keeping the outside warm and soft.

Our only qualm is that, while the outer casing remains cool, the metal top gets hot, and there’s no extra lift function to keep your fingers safe.It fared better when batch toasting, but its hefty power meant our testers achieved a golden brown shade on setting two but noted some burning on three, leaving limited options for those who like paler toast.

Our tester also loved that each pair of slots could be set to different temperatures, meeting everyone’s demands. The effective bagel setting is sure to prove popular, too – on test, it evenly browned the sliced sides and left the backs pillowy soft. Coverage was patchy, despite the deep slots, and the slide-out crumb tray felt a bit flimsy, but it excelled at defrosting and toasting frozen bread.Created in collaboration with the original kitchen whizz, Heston Blumenthal, this clever toaster has various niche functions such as crumpet toasting. Sophisticated in cream, with sleek copper accents, this four-slice toaster features extra wide slots, convenient cancel/defrost/reheat settings, adjustable browning control, a removable crumb tray and cord storage. Featuring a clever one-touch lowering system, the Smart Toast 4-Slice Toaster makes filling your toaster easy. KitchenAid has a reputation for creating good-looking products, and this Candy Apple four-slice is no exception.

With wide slots and a powerful 1850 watts, it turned hearty farmhouse slices, bagels, crumpets and frozen bread into golden, toasted treats, and the anti-jamming function ensures for smooth operation every time. It was slightly slower than other models on test, taking just under three minutes 30 seconds for sliced bread and an average of two minutes and 47 seconds for bagels.Happily, it offers plenty of substance, too – it scored full marks for its intuitive design and impressed our tester when toasting thickly sliced bread and bagels. It's size, design and die-cast metal construction scream statement, demanding a deep work surface and boasting a sophisticated number of settings.

litre capacity, convenient water viewing window and scale, light indicator during boiling and a spare filter.With a traditional design and shape, this beautiful matt blue four-slice toaster features convenient cancel/defrost/reheat settings, self-centering function and a removable crumb tray for easy cleaning. If you’re feeding a family, then a four-slice may be the one for you, but if you’re short on counter space, a two-slot may be the better option. The cord isn’t that long so you’ll need to place it close to a plug socket and it doesn’t have a bagel setting, so ours came out toasted on the back as well, but those are very minor niggles. The Sage Smart Toast BTA845UK is a four-slice toaster with five browning settings and ample toasting functions. Here’s one for those who prefer thicker slices of toast, as the wide slots on this toaster cater to all bread types.
