£5 toaster 'works as well as a £100 toaster'

Credit crunched Britons might not need to spend big to get high-quality appliances - if the example of the humble toaster is to be believed.

Consumer group Which? conducted tests of the various toasters on the market for its magazine and found that more expensive does not mean better the Daily Mail reports.

The testers found that a £5 toaster from Sainsburys worked well - scoring 65 out of 100.

A device from John Lewis costing £10 scored 68 comparable with results from other makes tested with all mod cons which cost over £100.

"We found you can buy a decent model from just £5 and that paying more doesnt guarantee youll get better toast" the Which? testers said in their report.

"You can buy a toaster for anything from £3 to £150 and there are good choices throughout that range."

Overall 74 different makes were tested by Which? over the course of its toaster survey.
