Ha, we had one of those but it was 300 for that and the variable temp kettel. Bought it just for the looks as my wife wanted all red kitchen stuff at the time didn't know about all the auto stuff until we got it.
It was great, weighed a fucking ton though. Bought it 7 years ago, still going strong, we gave it to my mum when we left blighty.

Toasters:
I'm a Dualit clockwork person myself, but my sister left some appliances in my London house (golf club) (she was renting it from us for the last 3 years). One of them is the Kitchen Aid "Artisan" toaster.
It is a truly mental thing. It has motorised toast slots, not just for the up and down but also the bread thickness. You pop some bread in, it gives a little "bong" and then motorises the bread down into the toaster. Blinky lights count down until it's toasted, then it bongs and the toast slowly rises. And if you leave it in too long it descends again to keep it warm until you're ready to butter it. All these things are highly amusing but it's £300!
Some people have more money than sense, and I appear to be related to one of them.
