Croma Toaster Prices August 2026: Same 800W Model at Rs. 1,094 and Rs. 3,599

We pulled Croma's own search API on 28 August 2026 for kettles, toasters, sandwich makers and hand blenders and got 70 listings with a price, a stated MRP and an image. Two of them stopped us. Both are called "Croma 800W 2 Slice Pop-Up Toaster with Removable Crumb Tray". One is green and costs Rs. 1,094. One is peach and costs Rs. 3,599.

The stated MRPs differ too - Rs. 2,500 against Rs. 5,400 - so the badges read 56 per cent and 33. They are separate SKUs, 217595 and 318421, so these are two different products in Croma's system rather than one listing shown twice. What the listings do not do is say what the difference is. Same wattage, same slice count, same named feature, same house brand, 3.3 times the price.

The green one carries the largest rating count on this entire shelf - 41 ratings at 4.5. The peach one carries none. If you are buying a Croma-branded toaster, that pair is the whole argument for reading the product code and the rating count rather than the badge: the cheaper listing is also the only one of the two with any customer evidence behind it.

Across the 49 toaster, sandwich maker and hand blender listings in this pull, the badge tracks the brand almost perfectly. Croma's house label has twelve listings with a median discount of 37 per cent and a range from 12 to 58. Philips has seven with a median of 13 and a range of 9 to 18. Shark Ninja has three, all at exactly 14 per cent.

That is not Philips being stingy. A brand with national service centres and a price list that appliance shops across the country honour cannot let one retailer halve it. A retailer's own label has no such constraint, because the same company writes the stated MRP and the selling price. So the deepest badges on this shelf are the least informative ones, and a 13 per cent Philips markdown is a real 13 per cent.

The practical version: at around Rs. 2,000 you can have a Philips Essentials 650W 2-slice toaster at Rs. 1,999, 9 per cent off, or a Croma 800W at Rs. 1,094, 56 per cent off. Both toast two slices. What the extra Rs. 900 buys is a service network and a brand that has been making this appliance for decades - not more watts, and certainly not a bigger discount.

The wattage numbers on this shelf are worth reading because they are the only specification most of these listings publish, and they map onto price far less neatly than you would expect. A Philips Daily Collection 900W 2-slice toaster is Rs. 2,699. A Philips Daily Collection 650W 2-slice is Rs. 2,795 - nearly a hundred rupees more for 250 fewer watts, from the same brand and the same sub-range.

Sandwich makers are more orderly. A Croma 750W 2-slice is Rs. 849, a Bajaj 800W 2-slice is Rs. 1,249, a Philips 800W 2-slice is Rs. 1,849 and the same Philips in a 4-slice is Rs. 1,890 - forty-one rupees for double the capacity, which is the single best-value step on this page. At the top, a Russell Hobbs 2000W 6-slice grill is Rs. 5,995 and a Faber 2200W 3-in-1 is Rs. 3,939.

Hand blenders run from an Agaro 4W milk frother at Rs. 499 - which is a frother, not a blender, and the listing says so - to a Ninja Blast rechargeable portable at Rs. 5,649. Between them, a Bosch CleverMixx 400W at Rs. 1,899 and a Philips 300W SmartFlow at Rs. 2,399 are the two that most buyers are actually choosing between, and the cheaper one has the higher wattage.

Start by deciding the capacity, because it is the only decision that cannot be reversed with money later. Two slices or four; one sandwich or six. On this shelf the jump from a Philips 2-slice sandwich maker at Rs. 1,849 to the 4-slice at Rs. 1,890 costs forty-one rupees, which is the clearest value step on the page and the one most buyers will regret not taking.

Then pick the brand tier honestly. If you want a service centre in your city and a part available in three years, Philips, Bajaj, Usha, Havells and Bosch are the names with that infrastructure, and their badges here are 9 to 48 per cent because their list prices are real. If you want the lowest possible rupee price on an appliance you expect to replace, the Croma-branded items are genuinely cheaper - a Rs. 849 sandwich maker and a Rs. 1,094 toaster - and the discount percentage beside them is noise.

Finally, check the rating count before the rating. Only 21 of these 49 listings have any rating at all and the biggest sample on the shelf is 41 people, so a 5.0 from one rating tells you nothing. Where a listing has thirty or forty ratings - the Croma green toaster at 4.5 from 41, the Croma 2-in-1 sandwich maker at 4.5 from 38 - that is as much customer evidence as this category offers.
