"Clean, crisp and simple!" - under this motto, the brand of small household appliances Scarlett promotes the SC-11012 toaster. The fact is that recently the company's stake has been placed on the absence of excessive complexity of devices with an optimal set of functions on board.

The device is occupied with only one thing - the preparation of ruddy toasts with a crispy golden crust. Baking processes are controlled by a “trigger” recessed into the body and a 6-position knob for adjusting the degree of toasting of bread slices. In case it is necessary to stop heating prematurely, there is a STOP button in the toaster's assets.

Bread is automatically centered in the compartments of the toaster, which guarantees even toasting. However, this action takes place very slowly - a modest heating power (700 W) affects. When cooking toast in several approaches, the outer walls of the device tend to heat up, so when removing the finished slices of bread, you need to be careful not to inadvertently burn yourself.

Scarlett SC-11012 takes its toll not only with ease of use, but also with a very tasty price. Moreover , despite the budgetary roots of the model, stainless steel served as the material for the manufacture of its case.

The elegant Frenchman in a minimalist style Tefal TT330D30 toasts bread slices without any hassle, decorating the kitchen interior with its presence.

All that is required to toast the bread is to place the pre-cut pieces in two slots where they are automatically centered, select the desired degree of frying and cock the "trigger". The toaster has 6 cooking modes. - from a delicate golden hue of slices of bread to the appearance of a crispy golden crust on them.

The Tefal TT330D30 has a mechanical knob with six fixed positions assigned to the role of the roasting degree regulator. It is possible to forcefully stop the process of toasting the loaves using the separately remote STOP button. That's all - the model does not have other controls.

To remove the toasted slices, the toaster is equipped with a lift. A removable crumb tray and a compartment for excess power cord also add to the ease of handling. A fly in the ointment in a barrel of honey is only the tendency of the internal lattices to jump off the grooves, but this minor misunderstanding occurs infrequently. Simplicity and unpretentiousness in operation are the main trump cards of the model, for which it is in demand among a motley audience.

The German company Braun, which specializes in the production of health and beauty products, as well as small household appliances, pays meticulous attention to design. Laconism and restraint dominate in the style of the brand's products, which is clearly seen on the example of the HT 3010 toaster.

The model cooks toast, reheats buns and defrosts baked goods. The choice of the operating mode of the toaster is carried out by simple manipulations with the button panel on the upper end. The keys on its armament are indicated by intuitive pictograms. However, a much more significant role in the design of the device is played by the tandem of the cocking lever and the knob for smoothly adjusting the degrees of toasting.

The toaster "with a bang" copes with bread slices of various thicknesses, for which the useful function of auto-centering toasts in the "seats" bothers to separate flattering words. In full frying mode, the device consumes 1000 watts of power. You can “tighten the heat” with the help of a 7-speed mechanical regulator.

The products of the Dutch brand Philips always occupy the top lines of the podium in the category of toasters. All thanks to advanced functionality, high build quality and a reasonable price tag. A vivid example of this is a kitchen helper with the model name HD 2637.

Perhaps the key advantages of the toaster over its peers are the increased size of the "landing" slots for slices of bread. Toasts are automatically centered in them, regardless of thickness, which ensures that they are evenly browned on both sides. And a lifting mechanism comes to the rescue in extracting hot bread.

The so-called oversized muffin, which includes buns and croissants, is proposed to be warmed up on the built-in stand. As unnecessary, it folds in one sitting and hides in the body of the device. The start of the heating process is carried out by pressing the button allocated for this business. In close proximity to it, on the front end of the toaster, there are also buttons for enabling the defrost and cancel functions.

The Philips HD 2637 has a septet of toast browning levels. For switching between all seven positions in response to the rotary knob with smooth adjustment. In reviews of the model, there are complaints only about the increased tendency of crumbs to stick to the inner surfaces of the walls, which makes it difficult to clean the toaster. On other fronts, the model turned out to be very strong and, speaking in rhyme, stylish. It looks especially harmonious in the kitchen interior with other appliances from the Philips Viva collection.

However, unlike those archaic toasters, the temperamental Italian is equipped with advanced electronics, which are responsible for 6 stages of toasting bread slices, heating, defrosting and one-sided toasting. The last function is useful when you want to get a piece of bread that is toasted on one side and soft on the back.

The special charm of the model is given by a large “kruglyash” with an analog scale for choosing the degree of desired roasting of slices of bread. At the same time , a quartet of control buttons with neon illumination lined up in a harmonious row on the front panel of the toaster. An integral attribute of the device is also a complete grill, on which it is convenient to heat up buns and croissants for hot drinks.

The "Extra Rise" position assists in removing small toast, thanks to which the toasted slices of bread rise to a height of 20 mm from the top of the slot. The crumbs formed during the work accumulate in the sliding tray. The only serious “but” is the high cost of the toaster. However, the refined appearance and competent approach to baking toasts fully compensate for the immodest price tag of the model.
