World’s poshest toaster !

Good God! £500 for a toaster? Wow!

They're lovely, I think.
I really wanted a Smeg kettle, but ended up with a plain red, small one.
I'm waiting for my neighbour to win the lottery.

Sold out in Harrods, I think it’s horrific, but obviously there are some that would buy it at a mere 499 pound ??

Hideous in more ways than one.

Absolutely hideous, I wouldn't give it house room if they were giving it away.

I could never buy anything with ‘Smeg’ written on it. ‘Red Dwarf’ fan

I dont like it, but if people do and they have the money,why not?

The four slice version is a snip at only £599 !!
Are people insane ????

I prefer my works of art to be on the wall and functional items to disappear in to the background.
Certainly couldn’t justify spending £500 on a toaster

Crikey, I hadn’t realised that was only a two slice model, crazy.

Blossoming ???

I was upset my £12.99 one has gone to the great scrapyard in the sky. If it had cost that much I think it would have been me giving up the ghost.

I have a smeg dishwasher and it certainly isn’t the best I have had.
My toaster came from Sainsbury’s and I would have to go downstairs to check on the make but it is very good and probably cost circa £25.

For £500 I'd expect it to grow the wheat, mill it and make the bread as well as the toast! No toaster is worth that much.

I wouldn’t want that in my kitchen! I can see why some would like it though.
I wouldn’t want anything SMEG either, my brain always thinks of those two extra letters…..

The poser chap on the next table to us at lunch yesterday was obviously very proud of his velvet D & Gs. All eyes were on him….

I looked them up later. They’re a snip at £975.

I bet he’s got the toaster at home.

Blimey OP - I suppose one must put that posh sourdough bread in it too, you know the 'artisan' type which also costs an arm and a leg. For those with more money than sense.

And how upset would you be if you were burgled and the miscreant ran off with the toaster?

Oh heck, DH is always bringing artisan sourdough back from our local market. It’s nice, but makes awful toast that would have your fillings out at one bite. I keep it well away from my free (secondhand) toaster.

Maggiemaybe - by gum you must lunch in some posh places if the patrons are wearing such expensive footwear ! ???

velvet shoes? Was he wearing his slippers?

Same here Blossoming.
I chuckle every time i see an appliance with that on,especially a fridge.

It probably has exactly the same elements as all other toasters of varying prices - all rather patchy and with built-in obsolescence!

I wouldn't have realised and would have thought he'd forgotten to change out of his bedroom slippers ?

I think I’m getting out of touch in my dotage. Like Savvy I’d expect a lot more for £500 but isn’t a Dyson vacuum that sort of money and their hair dryer/curling wand are a ridiculous price too! For £500, I could get 4 new tyres for my car!
Suppose it’s all down to personal choice?
