The Sur La Table Touchscreen 2-Slice Toaster is a touchscreen toaster with settings for different types of bread, from pastries to English muffins. Its screen displays a cycle countdown clock, so you always know when your toast will be ready. Its slots are wide enough for thick slices but aren't that deep when pushed down, so anything taller than white sandwich bread sticks out the top. On the flip side, they lift up high enough to grab even small pieces without burning yourself.

Popular Toaster Comparisons
The Sur La Table Touchscreen 2-Slice Toaster is a modern-looking toaster with touchscreen controls, like the Revolution InstaGLO R180. However, unlike that model, it still has a physical lever to push down the bread instead of an on-screen button. It's also lighter, which is nice if you want to store it on a shelf or in a cupboard when not in use. However, none of its presets char white sandwich bread, so the Revolution is a better choice if you usually toast denser or thicker bread. This toaster also has shallow slots, so taller pieces of bread can stick out the top. Check out the bella 2 Slice KT-3127 if you need deeper slots.

Test Results
This toaster has a touchscreen and offers a wider variety of modes and settings than most. There are different programs for different types of baked goods: Bread, Bagel, Waffle, Pastry, and English Muffin. You separately select the shade you want (1-7). There's a 'Defrost' (frozen) setting for thawing and toasting things like frozen waffles and a 'Single' button that heats one slot when you're only making one slice. The digital display shows a countdown clock, so you know when your toast is about to pop up. The power button doubles as the cancel cycle button on this toaster.
This toaster browns both sides of your toast, but one side comes out much darker than the other.
If you want a touchscreen toaster that browns bread more evenly, consider the Cuisinart SimpliTouch XL 2-Slice.
This toaster has a decent toasting range, producing anything from pale to golden brown toast. However, its touch controls only allow whole-number settings, so you can't fine-tune the browning level. For more flexibility, consider the GE 2-Slice G9TMA2SSPSS, which has a wider toasting range and a dial that allows smaller adjustments.
