De'Longhi Distinta Flair 4 slot toaster, reheat, defrost, one-side bagel & 6 browning settings, matte metallic design, CTI4003.S, Silver

Product Information

These unique browning controls include a defrost setting, so you can toast straight from the freezer, and a re-heat option should you leave your toast just that little bit too long. With its sophisticated metallic grey finish and chrome detailing, this De’Longhi Distinta 4-Slice Toaster already has a lot going for it.

Variable browning controlsOffering six shades of brown via the progressive browning controls, everyone’s toast can be done just how they like it – and because the controls can be adjusted independently of each other, you can toast two different shades at once. We tested the silver model, but it’s also available in black, white, bronze, glamour red and prestige blue, making it suitable for most kitchen designs. Alongside the separate browning controls for each pair of slots, which are controlled by a small stick below each dial window, you’ll find an array of buttons down the centre with cancel, reheat and defrost modes, plus a bagel setting for when you only want to toast something on one side. With its sophisticated metallic red finish and chrome detailing, this De’Longhi Distinta 4-Slice Toaster already has a lot going for it. However, a four-slot design like this isn’t as flexible as a model with two long slots, which can then take a whole pitta lying down or a whole slice from the middle of a big round loaf.They have a simple ethos: ‘A De’Longhi product will always turn the everyday into something special.

The front is somewhat cluttered with controls, but it’s got more or less every feature you could wish for. The back of the machine toasts slightly less than the front and sometimes one side of a slice turned out slightly browner than the other. But when you add in the fact that it makes slice after slice of perfectly browned toast (there are six shades to choose from), we’re sure you’ll be able to find space for it in your kitchen, preferably alongside the matching kettle.If you’d like the very best results from a four-slice toaster I’d recommend the Dualit Brushed Architect Four-Slice Toaster, which is cheaper than the De’Longhi. There are two crumb trays accessed at the back and the toaster’s feet have excellent grip: there’s no danger of the De’Longhi slipping around as you use it. The styling is so overengineered that the controls look less like a toaster and more like the dashboard of a vintage car.

I prefer the convenience of a front crumb tray but most modern designs have rear ones for cleaner lines. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Extra-high liftThe handy extra lift position makes it simple to retrieve smaller slices of bread or crumpets without the risk of burnt fingers. Control is fully variable so you can crisp your toast as you like it and you can operate 2 slots independently of the others.The levers are nicely finished with chrome tops and the action is nice and crisp, but it’s nothing to get excited about. The De’Longhi Distinta looks great and it’s not a bad toaster, but a number of small issues add up to tarnish it in my eyes.
