Our Verdict

Black+Decker 2-Slice T2569B

bella basics 2-Slice

If you're looking for a simple, inexpensive toaster, go for the Black+Decker 2-Slice T2569B over the bella basics 2-Slice. While both options toast quickly, ensuring your bread doesn't dry out, the Black+Decker toasts much more evenly on both sides. It also includes a bagel button, and while it only increases the timer instead of toasting on just one side, it still adds a bit more convenience compared to the bella, which doesn't include any special features. The Black+Decker's slots are also roomier, giving you more space for taller, thicker slices from bakery loaves.
