Almost all toasters seem to have a crumb tray. All that I’ve seen are actually rubbish at catching the crumbs and keeping them inside the toaster. Any perfectionists out there who have any recommendations? Ta.

My usual recommendation of toaster a Dualit. It’s crumb free, as it all fits together perfectly.

Also, toasters that you can get small things out of without having to poke knives down inside them…?

Dualit. They’re expensive but are the only toaster that I’ve had that actually works properly. Plus they have a lever to get the toast up so no annoying launching of the toast across the worktop or not popping up enough.

How about a toaster that doesn’t burn or that actually fits bread you slice at home?

The Dualit ones I looked at had a massive gap around the bottom.

Dualit over priced and not very good. Uneven toasting , a perfect storm of crumbs and took up acres of room. Now replaced by a Bosch which isn’t that great but is still better than the Dualit for a third the price.
