The Beautiful 4-Slice Toaster with Touch-Activated Display is a four-slot toaster from actress Drew Barrymore's kitchenware company 'Beautiful by Drew.' This higher-end toaster has a modern look, with a steel body and a touch-sensitive interface. It features a small handful of presets intended for toasting bagels, frozen bread, and denser gluten-free items. Its slots are deep enough to accommodate a wide variety of bread types and raise bread high enough to easily grab shorter slices without burning yourself. Like all Beautiful products, you can only buy the brand at Walmart.

Popular Toaster Comparisons
The Beautiful 4-Slice Toaster with Touch-Activated Display is a high-end four-slot toaster. It has wide, deep slots that can fit a variety of bread types, and it's fully capable of browning denser items in one cycle. That said, unlike alternatives like the Cuisinart Custom Select 4-Slice Toaster RBT-1350PC, you can't select shade settings in half-increments, which gives you a little less control in choosing how toasted you want your bread to be. Despite its powder-coated steel body, it isn't as heavy as alternatives like the Breville Die-Cast 4-Slice Smart Toaster, which is great if you need to pick it up or put it back on a shelf regularly.

Test Results
This toaster features seven distinct shade settings, but unlike many other alternatives, you can't select any half-increments between them, giving you a bit less control over how toasted you want your bread to be. It does feature a few presets for different kinds of items. There's a 'Bagel' setting that turns down the elements on one side to avoid burning the bottom of your bagel, and the 'Frozen' setting is meant to thaw frozen items like waffles before toasting. Unusually, there's also a 'Gluten Free' setting that adds roughly 10 seconds to the default presets to better brown denser gluten-free bread.
