A good toaster is an excellent investment. Especially one that is capable of calmly giving a piece of bread a nice even, golden crisp without ever loosing the plot and burning it to a char. That’s why when you find a good one, you should look after it. And that means not abusing it with ill-fitting bread shapes that will get stuck and upset it’s delicate operational constitution.

We tested the toaster wheaten on 12 individual toasters. We found them all to be compatible, except for number 4 which broke a bit because John dropped it.
