Hotpointtoasters of the 1920s and '30s were beautifully styled, reflecting movements in architecture and design like American Beaux Arts (from the curvilinear motifs to the more starkly geometric design of the model shown here to the left) and Art Deco (as in the Hotpoint "Gazelle").
One of the most successful Hotpointtoasters was the "De Luxe," designed by Charles P. Randolf and manufactured for at least a decade from 1923 to 1933 (model #115T17, nickel-plated 1923 to late 20s, model #117T17, chrome-plated thereafter).
Hotpoint was fond enough of the El Tosto name to put it on a third toaster which later shed the name and just became model 114T5.
The relationship between Hotpoint and ChildLine began in 2004, and to date has raised over £500,000 for ChildLine through a combination of sponsorship and internal fundraising.
Hotpoint wanted to work with a charity partner and chose ChildLine as one of Hotpoints core values is to develop products that allow people to spend more times with things that matter in their lives such as family.
In 2004, Hotpoint sponsored ChildLines Safely to 18 campaign which included a hard hitting report, demonstrating what counselling can achieve for vulnerable and troubled children, and the benefits to society.
