Ren 'Fantastic value for money real life sounds and plenty entertainment for children learning life skills' For kettles, we time how long it takes to boil a full kettle of cold water from the tap, as well as 1l for comparative purposes. Each litre of water was measured using the same jug, as it’s not uncommon for litre markings on a kettle to be incorrect or unavailable. Nati 'My daughter are so happy from new item for kitchen. Price is not so big and quality is good!!' This set’s glossy faceted exterior with geometric shapes belies its modest price. Despite being one of the more affordable options in our roundup, it still has some premium features, such as a defrost option on the toaster and internal kettle illumination. Kelly 'These are great I think. They make noises makes it feel real for the little ones. My son doesn't stop making me toast or cups of tea. Haha.'

Next, consider the features of both appliances and their capacity. Make sure they’re both a suitable size for daily use – such as a four-slice toaster instead of a two-slice in larger households – and include the functionality you need, such as easy pouring from a kettle, and a defrost option if you often make toast straight from the freezer. If one appliance fits the bill but the other one doesn’t, it may be worth looking at a different range. Don’t buy both just because they match; consider each appliance carefully to make sure it suits your needs, or you may end up replacing one of them further down the line. How much should I spend on a toaster and kettle set? Joy 'Not very well made toaster broke the first time it was used and the plastic is not very sturdy would break easy if dropped.' The kettle is just as good-looking, with a handle that’s easy to grip and a light-up lever to show when it’s boiling. It’s also surprisingly light to carry around, so less of a struggle when full. A good-sized water window with multiple markings in litres means it’s simple to boil only as much water as required, while the minimum boil, though not marked, is an economical 250ml. In our tests, it performed well, boiling a litre of cold water in two minutes and 15 seconds. Peaches 'Bought this as part of my son's 3rd Birthday to go along with his Play Kitchen. He loves it! I have found that this product has helped with his speech and social development. Would recommend this product to any child. At the bottom of the kettle push the button-you hear the bubbling sound of a kettle and on the front clear section it lights up. With the toaster-press down and the plastic bread pops up from the toaster and makes a ping sound. Both products require batteries.'

Rpl 'Great toy toaster and kettle set brought for my great niece great valve for money and the service in store was great too.'The Chad Valley Toaster and Kettle Set gets the day started the right way some with a fun roleplaying breakfast of tea and toast scenario. With a cool features such as a flip up kettle top at the press of a button, lights and sounds and glow red toast your little one is sure to be transfixed. Joanne 'These are well made, they were smaller than I thought but provide hours of fun & good value for money' Fortunately, it’s not a case of style over substance. The kettle boiled a litre of cold water in two minutes and 20 seconds and was easy to lift and pour from. Filling was less straightforward – there aren’t any markings on the water window and there’s only a max marker inside, meaning you may end up boiling more water than you need each time. However, we did like the discreet light on the lever and the kettle’s good build quality overall. Cj 'It's smaller than I thought, the kettle makes a boiling noise when you push the button and red light glows, but the lid flaps open when you tip it up, the toaster is bit noisy, you push the toast down and it pops up and makes a noise, there not bad toys' The coordinating toaster has a high lift function to help prevent burnt fingers and even a reheat button, which is a useful extra on an affordable model such as this. Homemade bread fitted in the slots comfortably, even though they’re not the widest, and toast emerged evenly done, with only slight singeing at one corner.
