Philips Eco Conscious Edition Toaster 5000 Series, 100% Bio-based plastics*, 8 Browning Settings, 2 Slot Compact Design, 830W Power, Silk White Matt Finish (HD2640/11)

Amazing! This item is not only a great toaster, it’s lightweight, which is great for me as I have both visible and invisible disabilities so it’s easy to move around, despite being lightweight, it feels robust and honestly looks so clean line and sophisticated. I wanted a toaster that a) would stop things falling into the toaster, when emptying the tray on previous toasters I’ve found dead spiders 😳 - the lid on this toaster eliminates that worry. The fact it also has a pastry holder to warm croissants etc is a game changer. I love the fact it works exactly as it should, the value for money is amazing and it’s eco friendly! And it just looks so nice in the kitchen! Will update with a pic as soon as I can!

Lightest toaster I’ve ever known. It's aesthetically pleasing. The settings are easy to establish but I do have to say that if you use Warburtons bread the slices are slightly too big to toast all at once, you have to flip it. Would I recommend though, most certainly.

I’ve always been using a £10 toaster from Asda for years and finally treated myself to a new Kettle and Toaster as I wanted to be more eco. Firstly it feels great quality and looks great, however as the other reviews suggested it is in fact small - meaning large loafs won’t fit. I use Hovis 50/50, and it fits in those slices absolutely fine sideways, upwards leaves an inch un toasted but it toasts quickly so I just flip it over no problem. The lid design is brilliant, especially when eventually go a bit funny like they always so, and it makes it look a lot sleeker. The pop up warmer is great addition, and the settings on the toaster are very easy to understand, as my issue with my previous one was hit and miss since I didn’t know what I was dialling to. It isn’t bright white either, more of an egg shell colour, but it looks much nicer anyway

Economical, good little toaster

I have had so many compliments of this toaster. The colour, the look, the style. The toaster sits against the tiles in the kitchen making it space saving (the back of the toaster is flat). The cover for the toasting area is clever so when not in use it looks very tidy. I have also purchased the matching kettle. The only negative is the plugs for each appliance are not matching but just a minor point.

Was this a junior designer on the job? Perhaps someone who had never made their own toast. Who signed this off as a product to go to run? Nepotism perhaps? I can’t think of any reason why anyone would buy and keep this useless bit of recycled plastic. Such an important mission, completely dashed. This doesn’t fit a normal slice of bread. That’s the basic premise for a toaster. Toast needs to be available for a whole slice. Not trying to toast a large bread slice…..I mean standard. The plastic cover is a daft idea and dangerous. Try again please. This just is an epic fail. Hope the kettle is better than this or it will be going back too!!!!

Fantastic looking toaster that works well, the lid is not wood though it’s plastic just in case you thought it was! I thought it was a wooden top because it looks like it in the pictures but was a little disappointed when it came & it was plastic! However it is a very good likeness to wood & you can’t tell until you pick it up. That aside the toaster is really nice aesthetically Pleasing to the eye & also touch, the casing has a really nice feel & texture to it & the finish is excellent. The toaster works well & has a variety of settings by number for your browning preference. It has a cancel button & a pop up rack for croissants etc, I’ve not used this feature yet. The take away here is that the top “cover” is plastic & not wooden, I don’t feel safe putting it straight back on top just after I’ve toasted my bread, I would with a wooden top but I’m wary with the plastic in case it warps, therefore it’s not as practical having to leave it off whilst the toaster cools down & having to come back later to have to put it back on. That’s my only problem with it though & it would be a 5 star review otherwise.

Great looking toast with good eco credentials with the materials used, but.... Doesn't fit a normal sized sliced of bread, not even a standard hovis slice will fit! So you always have one edge in twisted. Only hovis (or similar) toasting loaves will fit. We have to cut our sliced in half or even quarters - this means you end up using the toaster two or four times over a regular toaster completely destroying it's eco credentials.

ممتازة وشكلها فخم

It's always upsetting to see the amount of plastic used in appliances so this is refreshing. The wood top is a pretty differentiator , but unfortunately it's actually plastic too, and not a clever design detail safety wise. My mother in law thought she was supposed to use it as a "lid" when turning it on (her eyesight isn't strong to notice to warning sticker), and it melted the plastic. In newer designs, I hope they can incorporate the wood detail in a more functional and safe way. But I'm all here for the eco design and am grateful for that. The Toaster is still working perfect without the top decoration, and looks good too. So I'd advise popping the pretty lid into the recycling as a safety precaution
