BrevilleBold 2 Slice Toaster with High-Lift & Wide Slots | Cream & Silver Chrome [VTR003]

Really pleased with this kettle! It looks gorgeous with the vanilla cream and chrome finish – it fits perfectly in my kitchen. It boils water super quickly, is easy to fill, and the handle feels comfortable and sturdy. Also love that it’s nice and quiet compared to my old kettle. Great size at 1.7L too – perfect for making tea or coffee for a few people. Definitely recommend if you want something that’s both stylish and efficient!

A really good toaster & kettle combination, they look good & perform well. The price is good for the quality oft he products.

Great kettle, very attractive on the counter-top.The lead is not fantastically long but adequate.The filter is removable but I have yet to work out how.The lid is not hinged but removes completely which is a little annoying but I knew that when I bought the kettle.It boiled 1.7L of water in 3 min 30 seconds from cold.It boils enough water for a mug of tea in less than a minute.When you pour it, pour it slowly. Unlike my old kettle, if you pour this one too quickly the water shoots across the top of the mug and onto the counter-top and floor (done that once).Overall a lovely kettle and a good price.

Excellent Kettle, good value for money 😊Boils quickly & not too noisy.

Fabulous kettle with toaster to match there was a little problem when my kettle arrived but Amazon customer support were fantastic and immediately sent a new one with the previous one being picked up. EXCELLENT. Lovely colour Vanilla Cream looks super in my small kitchen. Good quality and extremely pleased with overall service and products.

So it arrived today, well protected in its box, and just in time for breakfast!It looks good and contrary to another comments it toasts evenly enough on both sides even with just one piece of bread in the toaster. Yes there is a slight difference between the colour of the two sides, but not enough to matter and the toast still tastes crunchy all the way through.One point of criticism however is that poorly designed time dial, what were they thinking! I had to bend right down to read the numbers due to reflective chrome and where is the marker on the dial to line up with a number? It is tiny, the same colour as the rest of the plastic and can only be found by feeling for it unless you bend right down to look for it.Fortunately, the best place for this tiny plastic mark is straight up as that is whare the 4 is positioned on the toaster, so we will just have to get used to feeling it rather than seeing it.And now we move onto the buttons. Despite the misleading advert photo showing all buttons with bright symbols on them, in reality there is nothing on any of them to tell you what they are, unless you pick the toaster up and catch the light! You have to push the lever down first to start the toaster and push one before it lights up with a symbol. If you don't use defrost or reheat very often, this is going to be a nuisance when you do.OK, so moving on from that whacky dial and lack of info on the buttons, the rest of the toaster is well designed and the star of the show for us is its ability to allow you to review the toast part way through without turning the power off just by lifting the lever. This is a great feature I have never seen before and is really important because toast can take a longer or shorter time depending on how fresh the bread is. This neatly gets around that by allowing you to keep checking progress without breaking the timing cycle.We only found out about this from the original Amazon advert, surprisingly, the manual that came with the toaster didn't mention this most important feature. So despite that timing knob and the secret buttons, overall we are pleased with this toaster, as we will get used to its querks with time.We have got used to the controls now, so here is an update. That ability to review toast half way through is proving more useful than we thought. Most toasters are designed with a common element in the centre that shares heat with both slots, hence the fact that one side toasts more than the other. That ability to pop up and review without stopping the timer means we can flip the toast around half way through, so the lighter side now faces the stronger side element. The result is really evenly cooked great toast.

The kettle is sturdy and a classic design. I like that the lid comes fully off allowing easy filling. The measuring points are clear, boils in adequate time and it isn't too noisy. There is no smell and there are other kitchen products in the range.

No frills electric kettle. Large capacity (1.7 litres) with auto off switch. Boils water quickly. Attractive finish. Recommended.
