Our Verdict

Dash Clear View Long Slot

Smeg 4-Slice Toaster

The Dash Clear View Long Slot is a better toaster than the Smeg 4-Slice TSF02 for most people. It toasts more evenly and consistently, so you get similar results batch after batch without changing the settings. The Dash offers a better toasting range, too, since it can char sandwich bread in a single toasting cycle. Neither toaster includes a cycle countdown indicator, but the Dash features a glass panel that lets you monitor your toast's progress, while the Smeg has a lever you can use to lift the slots up. Although the Smeg comes with a much steeper price tag than the Dash, it's also made of more premium materials. It also has a larger capacity, with room for four slices of sandwich bread at once, so you may prefer it if you need the extra toasting space or if aesthetics are your top priority.
