SWAN4 Slice Retro Toaster (Blue)

Perfect! Nicely made and very smart looking

Item is slick, proper retro and the blue is perfect can’t wait for the whole collection to come 👌

Did the research. A lot. No toaster fits Warburtons toasty bread, nor most standard-sized UK bread = I can't buy a toaster to toast bread unless it is small bread. 5* reviews are based on how a toaster looks, so no point in reading them. Not one single toaster got good marks for toasting both sides evenly. You may as well use your toaster to create a time travel device etc., coz they don't do toast. Which one did I buy? I bought this Swan Retro, as it takes up less space than the Swan Nordic, is a tad cheaper and comes in funky orange, -which no one had, so I got black. I wanted one that toasted the bread, not bake it to a dry crisp, and this does a nice job. It's also a brand whose toaster, 35 years ago, made perfect toast. It was also the first toaster I thought about buying before doing all the damned research.As you can see from the pics, it didn't toast evenly per side (looked better irl than the pics show). I had one on setting 2, the other side on 3 and popped them down a second time. I think 4 will be right, but haven't tried it yet. My main gripe is that the slots are even smaller than I thought. I used a small loaf of pre-sliced tiger bread, and although a thicker slice would be fine, I had to put these in at an angle. But it worked. I won't be able to put in normal-sized bread, but that's the same with all toasters. Hopefully, this one will last a good few years. It comes with a 2-year warranty.

Lovely colour. Deep slots easy to use

Exactly as described. Well made product that coordinates nicely with my other Swann kitchen appliances

I have bought so many toasters from the most expensive to the cheapest and never managed to one that gives me evenly toasted bread. At long last it has happened. The Swan Retro..

Looks good, slot size accommodates a crumpet or teacake admirably, and toasts evenly. Only loses a star as it feels a little flimsy and I fear it won’t last for long with daily use.

Nice looking but quite small slots and takes ages to toast and it does it quite unevenly with one side toasting more than the other, so you have to turn half way through.Not great and will need to replace very soon; not sure if I can return as no packaging now.
