Big capacity, compact body,
After my trusty and reliable Tefal Avanti Hi-Speed Toaster, 4 Slice, Polished Chrome died falling off the worktop while cleaning, I had to find a decent 4 slot toaster to replace it. After buying this, I almost wish I’d broken my old toaster sooner.
The problem many 4 slot toaster designs suffer from is an oversized outer casing and small slots. The Kenwood overcomes both these problems by having just 2 very long slots which accomodate just about anything you would sensibly attempt to toast. Additionally, the sleek white outer casing ensures it is no wider and not much longer than a normal 2 slot model.
It features all the usual things you would expect on a modern toaster, variable browning on a long slider, defrost and cancel buttons as well as a rather handy reheat button. The Hi-lift feature, raising the lever up, is next to useless though as there is not enough travel to reach small items. However, I’ve yet to find a toaster where Hi-lift actually works properly. So unplug first before resorting to a fork.
Toasting of bread is usually uniform but longer toasting items such as crumpets or frozen potato waffles may need to be turned once to ensure even browning.
To Sum Up: A surprisingly big capacity for such a compact looking toaster.

|Kenwood 4 slice toaster,
After yonks our Kenwood cool wall failed. Got a Hinari. Poor performance. Hunted loads of makes and for price and fuction went back to the Kenwood. Two long slots so much more useful than 4 ordinary slots. Can toast long slices and not need to cut to fit. Cool wall, easily cleaned. Does not mark like stainless steel or chrome. Hopefully will last another 15 years like the previous Kenwood. Also noticed one can buy spares for them.

|Excellent toaster,
We bought one of these toasters a few years ago. We chose it because it was about the only four-slice toaster with a plastic casing. So many were stainless steel or chrome, where all the fingerprints show up and make the case look scruffy. It was also “cat friendly”… our cats sometimes jump up and walk past the toaster, which could be on. The plastic case stays cool, and won’t burn them as metal could.
It has behaved perfectly. I have just bought another from Amazon… as a spare to keep in stock in case the original one ever goes wrong. I was amazed to see Amazon still stocked them, as they don’t seem to be in the shops.
The only minus point I can see is the browning control… it would be better if it was stiffer to move, it can get knocked and reset.
