I’ve been given a real treat to review from my friends and Funky Appliance Company, and that’s a new kettle and toaster.
True to Funky’s beliefs, the products are unique in their style with simple, yet excellent functionality. Their unique style is protected by various international design registrations and intellectual property across the globe.
We want people to love their Funky Appliances as much as we do. Funky is a brand for style conscious consumers who value not just great looks, but great functionality too. We are very grateful indeed for all of the kind comments and emails and phone calls we have received from our customers.
First of all let me tell you about the Funky Appliance toaster. With retro styling galore this robust stainless steel toaster looks great on my kitchen worktop. When I received the toaster I read that unlike a lot of 4 slice toasters this will take a very thick bread, and believe me with this knowledge I have vigorously tested it. The slots are thick as well as deeper than my previous toaster….even accommodates Warburton’s, bagels and crumpets and a rogue pitta bread I toasted for my lunch! There’s also a nifty lift up function too, which is a feature I always look out for after years of burning my fingers.
Here are some of the specifics :
- 1850W 4-slice toaster.
- Cancel, reheat and defrost functions.
- Independent control of both sides.
- Integrated removable crumb trays.
- Stainless steel housing
- 0.75m power cord including built-in wrap.
- Dimensions: 31.5cm (W) x 32cm (D) x 25cm (H)
- Anti-slip silicone feet.
- Weight: 2.7kg.
- 2 Year Guarantee.
Also importantly it toasts really well and evenly. Priced at £109.00 and available on The Funky Appliance website.
I also love how each side has an individual crumb tray for easy cleaning. Not sure if you are the same, but this makes total sense to me, as every one has there favourite side of the toaster right?
Onto the Kettle, which is priced at £79.99 which matches in styling and colour. They really do look good together! It’s got a capacity of 1.7L capacity, so it can boil up to 7 cups at once. When you pick it up, even if full it doesn’t feel too heavy either. There’s a 3kW element which boils the water super fast and luckily a quiet boil. It also has a handy water level window behind the handle which lights up in blue whilst the water is boiling. I’m left handed so I also appreciate that it has the 360° swivel base is perfect for left and right hand use. As we live in a fairly hard water areas the washable fine mesh filter which you can remove to help keeps lime scale at bay was another welcome addition.
