Anyone got a Which.co.uk subscription?

Hi - I've been looking for a good toaster at a decent price for the last 6 months - sad i know!

I've been on the verge of buying one several times but they are either too expensive or the reviews aren't good - I need really it to hold really thick slices.

My partner is starting to get a 'bit' touchy at my obsession of finding the perfect toaster for under £25. A friend has offered to sell me a new Morphy Richards Accents 44363 for £25. I've looked online I can only find 3 mixed reviews on it.

However, Which.co.uk do have reviews of it and I was wondering whether any kind forum member could post their review along with rating for the toaster. The link is: http://www.which.co.uk/reviews/toasters/morphy-richards-accents-44326/review

Thanks :T

There's a lot of text (and all probably copyright!), but I've pulled the vital bits;

With a design straight from the 1950s, this chrome and cream two-slice toaster from Morphy Richards looks great. It makes good toast but is a bit slower than similar machines.
Two slices of fresh bread takes well over three minutes to toast, and frozen bread takes 15 seconds longer, making it slower than most. But the toast is good; fresh bread was nicely browned with almost all of the bread toasted evenly. With frozen bread, 80% of each slice was nicely toasted.

Pros - Good toasting performance, great design.
Cons - Quite slow.

I went through a sucession of cheap toasters never happy and in the end bought a Dualit. Just the small 2 slice one. It was worth every penny,

Sometimes it's true that you buy cheap, you buy twice.

do you only want this specific one. I have a Phillips one which I have had for at least 8years and it is still going strong.

I might change to a newer philips model as am doing my kitchen at the moment.

No - There's nothing particularly special about this toaster. I just don't like the idea of spending more than £25 on a toaster. When my friend offered me this one it seemed like a 'reasonably' good deal.

I actually brough this toaster <http://www.amazon.co.uk/Prestige-Insignia-Brushed-Stainless-Toaster/dp/B000RHWLOY&gt; in July 2009 but never received it as it was out of stock. Unfortunately they never seemed to make anymore despite the excellent reviews.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
