Bajaj

Bajaj ATX 4 750W 2-Slice Pop-Up Toaster with Browning Control

Who the Philips Viva Collection 2100W Induction Cooktop is for

Buy it if: Anyone cooking indoors who wants faster, cooler, controllable heat than LPG.

Avoid it if: Anyone toasting thick artisan bread or bagels -- the slots are too narrow.
