Toaster Gets User Hot and Bothered
2/5
Previously having Bosch toasters for many years it was my first choice when my old machine was recalled for safety reasons. Unfortunately my confidence in the brand has been let down with this model, the TAT7201GB. I could not get a slice of medium-cut Hovis white in the slot lengthways and had to initially cook it vertically and until it shrunk enough to fit the way it should. Also, the reheat function is too long and further toasts the bread making it too brown. The adjustment for browning has to be used on the minimum setting only or that also overcooks the bread. I fail to understand why Bosch, a market leader in home appliances, can not do better than this after their many years of experience.
As you might expect, I have now purchased a different brand and I am happy with its performance. Bosch have lost my custom over these performance issues which they are perfectly well-equipped to avoid, most probably to save money although by no means was this a budget model.
