Black+Decker 2-Slice Toaster T2569B vs Dash Clear View Long Slot

The Dash Clear View Long Slot and the Black+Decker 2-Slice Toaster T2569B are both budget-friendly toasters that make fantastic toast, but ultimately meet different needs due to their designs. Get the Black+Decker if you tend to eat sandwich bread and want a pretty standard 2-slice toaster design. It evenly toasts bread, easily handles all toast preferences from ghostly to charred, and produces consistent results so you don't have to fiddle with settings between batches. On the other hand, if you like to eat homemade or artisanal loaves and want a toaster with a bit more personality, then get the Dash. Its single long slot is the more versatile option as it can handle long slices, and its unique design includes a window on one side so you can watch your bread toast. While it also produces consistent results between batches and offers a wide range of browning levels, its unique design means the edges of your bread sit close to the lower heating elements, which can cause them to char.
