Reasonably priced toaster for full sized slices

[cheesefest]

Why oh why do manufacturers make toasters that are too small for normal sized sliced bread? Why can’t they measure a slice of bread?

I use my toaster for crumpets and English muffins. Have been given a free loaf of bread at work as no date printed on the tag. Kingsmill 50/50. The toaster I have, slots are too shallow for this bread. Top 1.5cm pokes out. So i have to stop the cycle, flip the slices and do a cycle.

Budget is £40. I go through toasters. Had toasters that tripped the electricity, handle snapping off, browning control was stuck on lightly toasted etc.

One of the rules of the universe - you can only have two of well made, toasts full size bread, reasonable cost.

We've got a Kenwood Turin toaster which seems to properly toast normal size bread but they don't seem to be sold any more.

I once witnessed in Argos a women who'd brought a slice of bread in a bag and wanting to view multiple toasters to make sure it would fit.
