Worked well for 2 1/2 years
This is a nice toaster. Liked the unusual color. Has a nice pop-up element for warming buns, croissants, etc. After 2.5 years, the toaster started “aging” – the mechanism by which the bread pops up doesn’t work anymore, but the toaster still toasts the bread well enough.

Functional and cost effective toaster
Recommend to buy if you are looking for a functional and cost effective toasterPros:1) Attractive looking, nice colour that adds a bit of zing to your kitchen.2) Functional and looks robust so far.3) Value for money (paid about 2K for it)Cons:1) Have to set the browning dial to low else you land up with overdone toast2) Pop up could have been a little more powerful.2) Cleaning inside (as with all toasters) is a pain. I use an IKEA brush with a long stem, that helps.

Nice all-in-one toaster cum grill
The product is excellent since it combines toasting,grilling and even sandwich making in a single and compact gadget.Except for the fact that the toaster does not pop-up(only the pop-up sound comes,that too very feably),rest all is good.Easy to clean also

Browning inconsistent. Would have been a 5 star rating but for the shortcomings mentioned.
Cost me Rs.1699/- as on 17-12-18.I have awarded 3 stars for this Product because :1. It is over priced for it’s overall performance.2. The cord is much to Short (33 inches)3. It was delivered in it’s original Philips packing (very good), but because of the multiple transit points and changing of hands resulted in carton ripping in two places. Due to excellent Philips inner protective packing the unit was safe and unscratched. It would be advisable for Amazon to repack the original Philips packing in an Amazon carton as a precaution/prevention against damage.4. Browning on both sides of a slice is neither uniform or consistent from one slot OR from both slots of the Toaster.II. For general Specifications :1. The length of the cord is 33 inches which comes with a 3 pin 6 amp. Plug.2. The INNER measurement (which comes into contact with the bread slice) of each toast slot is 5 inches in length and 3.1 cm/1.2 inches in breadth.3. As can be seen the Toaster does not have separate Defrost or Reheat buttons but is marked alongside the numerical gradations, which I feel is a sounder technical design being more reliable than offering the additional separate buttons circuit.4. I have noticed that it gets a little stiffer when rotating the knob clockwise and at the Off position there is slight play of the knob (perhaps a Philips design and can’t comment on it being a flaw or otherwise ).5. When selecting any Browning level there is no precise click fit for any number and since there is quite a gap from one number to the other it’s not known whether at any point of this gap BEFORE the next browning number is it constant/consistent to that number or would there be an equivalent increase in browning corresponding to knob set within the gap between each number.6. The mechanical Stop lift mechanism is quite noisy and violent in operation and literally throws out smaller slices. So is the Pop-up sound but is more gentle in it’s pop-up action.III. I have shown snap shots of the toaster’s brownings from settings 1 to 8. (Had to use Stop button on number 8 as it was smoking too much and did not want to damage the unit). Size of the white bread slice used measures 4 x 4 inches. Only the one same slot was used for each slice browning at the various numerical settings. There are two sets of photos, 1A to 8A (which shows the browning done by one side of the single slot) and the second set 1B to 8B (which shows the browning done by the other side of the same slot).Now you can evaluate/compare features/results of this Unit to similar priced Toasters. The fit and finish of the Product is very good and is a well thought of design. Simple without the body of the Toaster getting hot on consecutive repeated usage. And finally, yes, 830 watts is most optimally suited for 2 slice Toasters. I hope this covers most ofthe essential observations impartially.CLIFFORD MICHAEL
