Daewoo Glass Toaster

I really, really, like toast. Good toast. Lovely golden colour, evenly toasted, crisp on the outside, bread still slightly soft in the centre, allowed to cool for a moment... then a generous spread of butter. Mmmm!The best toast is made under a grill, but grills are too slow, expensive and energy innefficient for 1 or 2 slices.So toaster it is. For 50 years I have been trying to find the perfect toaster (not all the time but whenever I needed a new one, you know) - never happened, even the v. expensive ones couldn't match the grill.(Money wasted)How hard can it be? Most of the toasters I have had have found new and creative ways to mess up a simple task i.e. making toast - e.g. uneven, one side more toasted than the other, burnt or underdone whilst using the same setting, stripes, bread does not fit, (yes really) and my favourite - all of the above whilst launching your breakfast across the kitchen straight into the dogs mouth (savvy and waiting for it). So..Old uneven toasting toaster dies - just outside warranty of course, I'm searching around and come across the Daewoo.OK.. looks intersting, like the looks and the avoidance of the tiny, v thin metal elements in most toasters, actually the elements look more like a GRILL! Intrigued.OK it's £30 lets give it a go.Arrives, (very quickly) put it on for 5 mins to burn in the elements. Then...Made a slice of toast..WHAT? Halleluia! Magnifico! Excelente! Joy and Celebration! TOAST NIRVANA PERFECTION!!50 years of toasting quests have been satisfied. Thankyou Daewoo - you geniuses!As you can probably tell I would recommend this toaster.In brief:Stylish good looks.Well made and finishedFits breadMakes REALLY GOOD toastComparable to grill toastIts NOT SLOW - toast in under two mins.Actually OK to clean (for toasters)I note a couple of other reviewers have not had quite the same experience as me - this may be due to a faulty unit and I would recommend getting it replaced so you can enjoy a working model.My other recommendation for all 'toasties' out there is to hit the buy button.

Love this toaster. Cooks evenly on both sides and you can see your bread browning.

Looks amazing, keeps its shine, removable glass for ease cleaning. Seeing the content heat saves time and money, no more burnt crumpets! Only 2 slices but it heats fast so 4 slices doesn’t take much longer by the time you’ve buttered the first two. Fits nicely into small spaces but performs so well you want to show it off and easiest buttons ever. What’s not to like? Thank you Amazon seller!

Many years ago we had a Tefal with radiant bars which was better than other toasters before or since. Found this Dewoo one by chance and it doesn't disappoint. It even has a three year warranty and above all it copes with our home baked stoneground wholemeal bread. This required full heat on our previous toaster and came partly burned and partly too light. This new one does a much better job on about 2/3 power and is quicker. Is there anything they could improve? Well, the browning control knob has a tiny black dimple in the black surface of it to indicate what setting you are on. This can only be seen with a torch! It simply requires a tiny white dot in it to solve the problem. Are you listening Daewoo?I have since discovered that only the inner glass is actually removable so removing crumbs from the reflectors and elements can only be done with a long handles artists' paintbrush through the top slot!

Looks great and the glass panel means your toast etc is always done to perfection.What I like most are the coiled elements like the old electric fires which give a more even rosy than the thin wire ones which never seem to heat up uniformly.And finally a price that is realistic.

The toaster is good looking and love the glass viewing window. But here's the negatives, the toaster uses lamps to toast the bread and they are slow, if you are in a rush then forget this toaster, it takes ages. I'm gluten free and the bread I buy is only very small slices and getting the cooked bread from the toaster is a nightmare, the eject lever doesn't come right to the topso I have to try and grab the toasted bread from inside the toaster burning my hands. Wish now I'd have bought a 4 slice toaster because of the time it takes. Wouldn't recommend due tothe above problems. Had the toaster a few months now and its started to burns the bread in the middle when using fresh cut bread, so I've dropped the review to 1 star. Only thing this toaster is good for is its looks, but other than that can not recommend. Update, had this toaster now for 8months and I'm ready to throw it in the bin, it's now taking so long to toast the bread, it's making me late for work. The other problem is we have the timer on number 7, turned fully on and I still have to put the toast back in for a second go. Pull up a chair and have a brew while the toaster is cooking.
