Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest.The Distinta Flair collection is truly unique just like those that select it to grace their worktop. As with previous De’Longhi models I’ve seen, it’s pretty large, even for a side-by-side, four-slice toaster, with it tapering outwards as it goes down. Alongside the separate browning controls for each pair of slots, which are controlled by a small stick below each dial window, you’ll find an array of buttons down the centre with cancel, reheat and defrost modes, plus a bagel setting for when you only want to toast something on one side. The sophisticated matte metallic finish, with chrome-plated details, give Distinta collection an air of natural refinement. However, a four-slot design like this isn’t as flexible as a model with two long slots, which can then take a whole pitta lying down or a whole slice from the middle of a big round loaf.

Offering six shades of brown via the progressive browning controls, everyone’s toast can be done just how they like it – and because the controls can be adjusted independently of each other, you can toast two different shades at once. The levers are nicely finished with chrome tops and the action is nice and crisp, but it’s nothing to get excited about. It has a brushed metal exterior that doesn’t end up covered in fingerprints and then chrome on top around the slots. Underneath is the usual space for keeping your cable neat and tidy, and the cable itself is a standard 65cm long.Founded in the early twentieth century in Treviso, De’Longhi are an Italian engineering company famous for their stylish and high-quality home appliances. With the Distinta Flair Toaster by De’Longhi, you can control six different settings to ensure a perfect slice every time. We tested the silver model, but it’s also available in black, white, bronze, glamour red and prestige blue, making it suitable for most kitchen designs. This De'Longhi CTI4003 Distinta Flair Toaster 4-Slice Toaster cleverly combines futuristic and vintage design elements to make a truly iconic toaster.
