Find The Best
Toaster
For Your Needs

It's hard to think of a breakfast less fussy than toast, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be fussy about your toaster. There are a few main categories to consider: your basic 2-slice, 4-slice for more capacity, and long slot, which can accommodate slices from longer and taller loaves. The best toasters offer useful quality-of-life features that let you check progress mid-cycle, toast just one side of a bagel, or even consult a countdown timer, so you know exactly when it's time to start buttering. They also work quickly, toast evenly, and make golden-brown toast with all kinds of bread, from light sandwich bread to dense rye or multi-grain.
