Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Delonghi RT400 4-Slice Retro Toaster
Customer Review: Do NOT buy this toaster
Summary: 1 Stars
Buyer beware!!! It looks good, but doesn't work. One side of the 4-slice toaster went out after a couple months of having it. We called the 800# that came with it. It took a few calls to reach anyone, we left messages and no one ever got back to us. Finally, we reached a live person and received a service # and address to send the toaster back for repair. After a couple months we called to find out where our toaster was. We left numerous messages and no one ever got back to us. I know they recieved it because they signed for it. Anyway, it's a year later and they still haven't returned our calls or the toaster!! We bought a 4-slice CuisinArt that we're very happy with, but we're out our original $79. Save yourself the agony, don't buy this toaster.Customer Review: Mini WOOD TOASTER TONGS with magnet
Summary: 4 Stars
In response: Your DeLonghis are working fine! The toast is not supposed to pop up! Crate & Barrel sells the tiny little toast tongs for about $3. The magnet is flush so they cling nicely to the side of my DeLonghi. And bagel people (MY FAVORITE FEATURE) flip the bagel around so only the INSIDE gets cooked instead of returning your toaster. Hmmmn, the bagels are soft on the outside and perfectly toasted for spreading on the inside. We have owned ours for almost 1 year, family of five, we have a lot miles on this thing and NO pieces have broken, fallen off or otherwise malfunctioned. Only 4 stars because of the weight, it so light, feels a little cheap. The tongs should be sold with it!Customer Review: The best looking, but worst toaster, I ever used.
Summary: 1 Stars
This toaster is beautiful. The brushed metal obscures fingerprints yet it's relatively easy to clean. It looked terrific on the counter.Unfortunately, that's where the good part ends. DeLonghi is usually a reliable, high-quality maker, so the "bad" was surprising. The bread never gets crisp; the crumb catcher is difficult to remove; it's as light as a feather, and feels "tinny," even cheap. Mine broke within seven months of use, so it's not very durable, nor worth its ridiculous price.
If I hadn't tossed my 30-year-old Astra--which was still working fine--I'd have tossed this one and used the Astra instead. That's what I get for letting myself be seduced by a pretty face.
Customer Review: The best toaster and classy as well
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this brand toaster in the two slice chrome finish and WOW what a great machine! It is not a light machine but has some weight to it which we like, as well as a non slide bottomThe three button (bagel, defrost, release) are on the one end of the machine and are easy to use and read as well as classy looking. And the toast turns out absolutely perfect!
It is a machine we are proud to have in our kitchen. It is the second machine this company makes (bought their coffee-espresso-cappuccion machine as a gift for my husband) that I have bought and I recommend the maker to anyone who wants a quality product at an excellent price.
Customer Review: looks aren't everything...
Summary: 1 Stars
I have owned this toaster for 3 years. My family begs me to buy a different one. The reason I'm giving it even one star is because I love the retro styling & this appliance has received more compliments & comments than any I've ever owned. Aside from that, this is the sloooowest toaster. So slow, that you put in your toast & get doing 5 other things & forget that you even put toast in by the time it pops up. A friend of mine bought one because she loved the look also, even though I told her not to. She also wished she hadn't fallen for the looks as hers is equally PAINFULLY SLOW.
