Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Delonghi RT400 4-Slice Retro Toaster

Customer Review: Looks but no guts
Summary: 2 Stars

First off, let me say, this toaster looks very nice and is overall, solid for being made of lightweight plastic.

The controls for heating by side (2 pairs of toaster controls) are nice and important...

When we first opened this a year and a half ago, we were somewhat disapointed by the lightness but quickly got over that because it doesn't really matter, just a 'feeling' about quality.

We used the toaster 2-3 times a month and after playing with the controls could toast fairly well. The wide slots are very nice.

Cons:
As mentioned, you'll have to play with settings by bread type and thickness. This is a light con as most toasters work this way.

The real heavy 'con' is that the unit seams to change it's abilty to read the toasting level which again, sometimes occurs with other toasters.

Real big con:
Warranty is a joke. After 1.5 years one side doesn't want to work and after calling Delonghi, they say it sounds like a sensor issue which is not covered after 1 year.

Nice looks but doesn't last.

Go with Kichten aide with a real warranty!


Description of Delonghi RT400 4-Slice Retro Toaster

It's got style, it's got substance, it's the sleek retro styled toaster from De Longhi, the renowned Italian appliance company, with room for 4 slices of bread in its extra long, extra wide slots. This is one appliance to which you won't begrudge valuable counter space.
Elvis would have loved this toaster. With a brushed-metal finish like a customized '57 Chevy, chrome lift-levers and browning-control knobs, and control dials like old-time radios, it's lovingly and wittily retro. Functionally, however, it's 21st century. Four large slots, each 5-1/2 by 1-1/4 inches, handle bagels, English muffins, and thick gourmet breads as well as conventional bread. Slots are paired, each pair with its own lift-lever and browning control. Push a button, and bagels or English muffins toast only on one side. Push another button, and frozen bread automatically toasts a little longer to account for defrosting time. Slide open a crumb tray on the side and clean up with no hassle. At 12 by 11 by 8 inches, it's not compact, but, as was said about Elvis, when you've got it, flaunt it. --Fred Brack
