“The stainless steel look of this toaster is very aesthetically pleasing and doesn’t look or feel cheap. Another neat function of this toaster is that it actually has a musical tone that plays when the toast is done instead of just listening for the ejection of the toast. Let’s be honest, the real reason you bought this toaster: to toast bread. And it does just that. Four slots are perfect since we have two children, and the slots are split. There are some toasters that only give you the option to toast all four slots at the same time, and this wastes energy. The ‘darkness’ knob works as expected and so does the bagel function. I know this may seem like common knowledge, but people have asked me, ‘What does the bagel button do?’ It simply just toasts the inside of the bagel and not the outside. I love this feature because the inside is crunchy and ready for cream cheese, and the outside is warm and chewy!” .
Breville’s pricier long-slot smart toaster, at 14.9 inches across, is also a fan favorite. The lift-and-look feature allows users to pop up and see the bread without interrupting the toasting process. Here’s what one reviewer had to say: “Love the ability to adjust size of bread (bagel) and also toast just one side. Also love all the other features: toast a little more, lift to see, status light … For me, the cost of this item is worth it. Best toaster I’ve ever had.” .
4.4 stars, 1,964 reviews “I like this oven for two reasons: (1) It has a very small footprint, and doesn’t take up a lot of room on the kitchen counter. (2) The use of quartz bulbs means that there is no preheating necessary, no waiting to put the food in, and very little heat in the room (great for summer). It’s small, but big enough for the standard smaller frozen pizzas, and cooks both top and bottom, if you just lay the pizza directly on the rack. The toast function default is too light, so you have to increase the time a bit, but it does a nice job of heating dinner rolls. Overall, I am very pleased with the oven. It’s a good choice for a single person, or for a couple.” .
