Our Verdict

Dash Clear View Long Slot

BELLA 2-Slice Slim

The Dash Clear View Long Slot is a better toaster than the BELLA 2-Slice Slim for most users. While the BELLA makes very good toast, the Dash makes great toast. It browns each slice evenly and pops them back up quickly, so your toast doesn't dry out before you get a chance to butter it. It has a button for bagels that lets you toast only one side of a bagel or bun, and wider, deeper slots, so you can toast your favorite bread without worrying it'll stick out the top. The Dash also features a viewing window, so you can keep an eye on its progress. Of course, if your main consideration is saving space, you may still want the BELLA, since it takes up significantly less room on your countertop.
