Our Verdict

BALMUDA The Toaster

BALMUDA The Toaster Pro

The BALMUDA The Toaster Pro and the original BALMUDA The Toaster share nearly the same compact footprint and cooking chamber, but the Pro preheats significantly faster, making it the better choice if you often reheat leftovers or just don't want to wait around before you start cooking. It also adds a Salamander Grill Mode for broiling, something the original doesn't offer at all. Unlike the original, however, it doesn't come with a baking tray in the box, so you'll need to buy one separately.
