There is hardly anything simpler in getting a quick, sumptuous and satisfying meal than having a few toasts of sliced bread, with butter, jam, chutney or pickles spread on them, accompanied, of course, by a mug of tea or coffee. And this is possible for senior citizens, veteran cooks, young couples and students. All that you need is a nice toaster.
Two-slice toasters
Electric toasters are available in different designs, brands and capacities. The most common is the two-slice toaster, in which the slices pop up when a lever is pressed. Then, there is the four-slice toaster, maybe for bigger families. Then, there are many types of sandwich toasters. You also have the simple toaster, which produce a toasted sandwich from two slices of bread and the chosen filling. The simple sandwich toaster costs as little as Rs250 while the prices of two-slice toasters vary from Rs950 to 1650. The cost of the four-slice toaster is over Rs3200.
Operating conditions
Toasters now have non-stick coating surfaces. These reduce fuel consumption and also make cleaning easier. They also have the cutting edges to cut the slices into sandwiches. Many of the modern toasters have different settings for different browning levels. They are safe for handling in that no outside part gets heated. The designers try to make the cleaning part as easy as possible. The toasters work on 220V supply. They are quite durable with companies offering different warranty periods.
What to look for
When anyone decides to buy toasters, the things to look for include the capacity, whether it can toast two slices at a time or four, the power consumption, safety, ease of operation and the result. Modern toasters available in shops and online shops have a great variety. They are sleek appliances with fine finish and many useful features. They usually give excellent results.
Great variety
The decision to zero in on a particular toaster is not easy. There is a great variety on show in shops and online shops. Brands and more brands vie with each other to get the buyer’s attention. They boast of different features, multiple choices, sleekness, safety features and durability. And each one claims that the buyers will get the best value for their money if they buy their product. They keep offering more and more incentives like free delivery and discounts and more discounts. As the competition in online shopping gets fiercer, shops have begun to offer one item free if you buy one.
Proper evaluation must
So the buyers are in a good situation at present. But they have to evaluate all offers properly, understand what the small print says, make sure that they are buying what they need and then decide on the product. They also have to fight for their consumer rights if there is any deficiency in the product or the service provided. The online shopping must see fair trade practices and the consumers have to begin to press their claims right from the word go to ensure that they are not cheated in this new wave. Consumer must be and remain the king.
