We've come a long way since the humble days of the two and four slice toasters, nowadays, the once considered lower-ranking kitchen aid is much more advanced and comes with a variety of helpful features.
Today, you can toast, roast, bake and even fry with some toaster oven brands, giving you the best of multiple appliances in one gadget. One of the downsides to the ovens are they are understandably much larger than your regular toaster, so it's something to think about if you're pushed for space at home.
If you could do with a little bit of a hand in the kitchen, there's a few options out there; with prices ranging from £35 to £250. Of course the more money you spend, the higher quality features your machine will have. Bestsellers in this category come from Sage and Russell Hobbs.
