Our Verdict

Black+Decker 2-Slice T2569B

Toastmaster Two Slice TM-42TS

The Black+Decker 2-Slice T2569B is a better toaster than the Toastmaster Two Slice TM-42TS. Although they're both simple, compact options, the Black+Decker offers more capacity for larger slices and has a couple of extra features: buttons that increase the timer for frozen foods and bagels, and a dedicated cancel button. The Black+Decker offers a wider toasting range, so you can make dark brown toast in a single cycle, and it toasts more evenly, leaving your bread more uniformly browned on both sides.
