Black+Decker 4-Slice TR4900SSD vs bella 4-Slice

The Black+Decker 4-Slice TR4900SSD is a better toaster than the bella 4-Slice. It toasts faster and browns more of each slice evenly, so you get fewer pale spots, and it leaves very few crumbs on your counter, whereas the bella leaves a mess you have to wipe up after most uses. Its slots are a little longer and deeper, so taller slices are less likely to stick out the top, and they lift higher, which makes it easier to grab small items like English muffins. Both toasters have two sets of slots you can run independently, a similar set of basic buttons, and a range of shades that goes all the way up to charred toast. Neither one can toast just one side of a bagel, since both Bagel buttons only add time. The bella does take up less counter space and comes in a range of colors, so it's worth a look if you have a small kitchen or want something that matches your decor.
