Our Verdict

Beautiful 4-Slice Toaster with Touch-Activated Display

Breville the Eye Q 870 Auto 4 Slice

The Breville the Eye Q 870 Auto 4 Slice and the Beautiful 4-Slice Toaster with Touch-Activated Display both offer solid performance for everyday use, but the Beautiful is a better choice for most people. The Beautiful toasts faster and more evenly, leaving each slice softer and more moist in the middle. It can also toast only one side of a bagel more effectively. The Beautiful is also more compact, while offering a little more capacity for thicker slices, and it's significantly less expensive. The biggest downside of the Beautiful is that it leaves far more crumbs on your counter after toasting, so you may want the Breville if this is a priority for you and you're not concerned about the price.
