Anko 4 Slice Long Slot Toaster

Toaster kept tripping our power every time we pushed it down to toast. Not worth it. Show details

Undersized – Too small, does not fit normal bread, pretty sure this is a 3/4 scale model of a real toaster. Should be removed from sale and replaced with something full size, absolute waste of money Show details

Very poor quality – I use normal white toaste / sultana / whole meal, none of them fit properly in the slots they all stick out over the top by about 3cm. Also very uneaven toasted, on 3 it’s just just very little toast and on 4 it’s close to burned. All in all a very poor product would not at all recommend all do the price is very low it’s not justified. Show details

JUST SHORTED ALL OF OUR POWER OFF – Ive had this toaster for 1 month and it shorted our circuit in the kitchen and then we tried it in the laundry and it did the same It could of caught fire if we didnt have a circuit breaker upgrade Very dangerous How can they sell such rubbish Show details

Worst ever toaster – Toast can end up on floor as far to hard a pop up function Also even on 1 setting, too dark for some breads. Show details

How hard is it to make a toaster that works well – This toaster is useless. Does not fit four slices of bread unless you are ok about the 3 cm of your bread that sticks out of the toaster not being toasted. And what does get toasted always burns down one edge of the bread before the rest of the toast is cooked. So basically I have a two slice toaster (have to put the bread in on its side) that… Read more

burns your toast on one edge. Definitely a design flaw! Wish I had returned it before using it for a couple of weeks trying to get the settings right.

Dont waste your money on this product – While some' anko products are fine, this is a piece of rubbish. I bought one, burnt the toast. Turn the bread on its side and insert and you can only fit two slices, turn the bread upright and insert and half of the slice sticks out of the top of the toaster. I took it back the next day. Show details

Disposable toaster – Two broke down within approximately three years of very light use. Replaced the first one as the size is good but won't be buying this brand again - the second one died 14 months after purchase and blew the fuse on the electrical switchboard. Show details

Too small for normal bread! – Bought this due to price after several poor-quality expensive toasters. It couldn't even do the basic thing it was meant to do - toast bread. We use breadshop bread (square loaves) so it's about the smallest bread you can get. Even so the bread was too tall to fit into the toaster, so only 2/3 to 3/4 of the bread was toasted! Returned it… Read more

straight after testing it! (Kmart great customer service)

(And no, I'm not expecting miracles from a cheap toaster - I'm expecting it to function as advertised, i.e. a toaster!)

It seems not all toasters are created equal! – Well my experience with this toaster is the total opposite of the other reviewer, just hope I don't jinx myself posting this, but the toaster I bought is fabulous. However, in recent weeks I've purchased two other toasters (different brands) which were total failures and I also have to ask 'how hard is it to make a toaster that works?'. While… Read more

I've only owned this toaster for around 10 days it has been used daily to toast sliced bread, crumpets and pikelets, all have browned evenly on setting #2 with both sides of the bread etc being the same. One of the failed (other brand) toasters would leave one side of the bread un-toasted while the outside was OK, so the first thing I did with this Anko toaster was to check if the centre elements were illuminated the same as the outside ones...and they were!

I like the elongated shape of this toaster as it takes up less bench space than the newer style 4-slicers which are much deeper and chunky...and don't look as attractive, imho. I also like that it's white as this works best with a white kitchen.

The lever to lower the bread has a firm feel and locks without hesitation, whereas this was a problem with a previous toaster, so something I made sure to check on this model.

Really nothing I can say against this toaster as it does the job and doesn't break the bank, unlike some other brands which are horrendously overpriced, look horrible and at the end of the day, do a similar job (hopefully they work just as good).

How hard is it to make a toaster that works well? – Judging by the many poor toaster reviews - very difficult! This Anko toaster is no different. Looks ok with its nice curves and blue LED lights - but falls flat with its one task: cook a slice of toast. I mean, I'm not asking for perfection every time, but the inconsistency of this toaster is almost laughable. We have set this toaster on "1"… Read more

permanently, because anything higher than 2 and you're likely to burn your toast (well, half of it, the other half is barely brown). Occasionally you're lucky and it takes one go on the "1" setting. But usually it's close to 2 rounds. Very frustrating that you can't trust a toaster timer to cook a slice of toast (or three of four) somewhere between barely crispy and char-grilled. And yes, it's not even an even toasting when it works - tends to burn near the centre on both slots while underperforming on the ends.

Taking it back to try our luck with another one in this very hit-and-miss product category!
