Our Verdict

Black+Decker 4-Slice TR4900SSD

bella 4-Slice Slim

The Black+Decker 4-Slice TR4900SSD is a better toaster than the bella 4-Slice Slim for most people. The Black+Decker toasts faster and more evenly, so your toast comes out more evenly browned on both sides and softer in the middle. It has two sets of slots you can operate independently, which is handy for busy mornings, and it leaves fewer crumbs on your counter after toasting. That said, as a long-slot toaster, the bella can accommodate longer slices of homemade or bakery bread that don't fit in the Black+Decker's standard slots.
