This toaster uses energy if left plugged in – most toasters don’t, if left plugged in, it would use about 50% of the total energy used to cook four slices of bread to average browness every day. cancelling out its 34% energy saving claims.

Also the lid feature means you can’t do pittas and you can’t check your bread as it toasts.

Just because something cooks quickly, doesn’t mean it is more efficient, it can mean it is just a higher powered appliance.

One thing not mentioned on this or other reviews is whether it has the option of only using one side at a time – this would make a major energy saving when only doing one slice.

From a design point of view it is all plastic, black and silver plastic.

Overall good on morphy Richards for trying to release something aimed toward the energy minded of us out there, but why didn’t you think a little harder. Maybe next time.

This toaster is plastic, black and silver, any other
