One slice tiny toaster?

[danny la rouge]

toaster = 1200 W so wasting say 600 W


Mind you in the war on red tape we'll doubtless soon be able to have TVs with standby mode using 1200 W too.

Almost everyone has their TV on standby all the time. People only make toast every so often.

What is your point?

Unplug your TV.

No they don't. I don't. . . and my wife is making little bits of toast quite a bit throughout the day.
My thread my rules.

Unplug your TV.

I think I have made it clear that I do. . . you massive great weirdo.

Annoyingly there is a euro plug on it apparently. Are you sure you can just swap out the plugs? I thought the EU had a different voltage.
I don't really want to mess with something that's main purpose it to burn things (a bit).

No it'll be fine. they're effectively the same. And depending on what sort of two-pin plug it is these are superb, it means the plug doesn't flop around in the socket.

Buy ready made toast, then.

Yes, it's so close it makes no difference. I've got a knife sharpener and rice cooker with EU plugs. I use a £2 adapter, but there's no reason you couldn't change the plug if you wanted.

I refer you to post 51 One slice tiny toaster?

Nominally the EU use 220v and we 240v but it doesn’t really matter, especially for toasters. It’s only nominal and we both use 50 hz which is more important. Same is true for the Chinese, Indians and Australians… It’s the Americans who use 110v and 60 hz so you do need an adapter…

Almost every post office sells travel adaptors. Get one of them.

Make two slices and freeze the extra one.

i do that with hot water.

You can swap plugs or get a converter plug. I moved from the UK to Germany and did that with all my electrics.

Can you not? We used to have them in the 70s, in the Highlands. Not seen them since, mind.

Not any more as of 2003 we all officially use 230 but dicked about with the tolerances so no one had to change anything.....

Get one of these and pour cold water over the five unwanted elements when her single slice is cooking...

You can actually remove the elements on these taosters quite easy as they are deigned to be replaced separately and therefore easy to maintain and repairablefor the home user. Ive got the duallt 6 slice which has the option to cook 2,4 or 6. That's also why I'm fat.

Remove it from the mains before you try this at home people
