\r\n\r\nThis toaster also boasts a liftable lever, but we didn't find it necessary in our tests\u2014we could easily retrieve our English muffin without employing that feature. While it won't win any awards for waffles (one side burnt in the center while the other side was evenly yet overly brown), toaster pastries came out with golden brown edges and a filling heated to the just-right temperature. Bagels are a tight squeeze, but the bagel setting doesn't burn them either\u2014you'll have no problem toasting up your yummy New York bagel haul from Goldbelly<\/a>.\r\n\r\nThose who prefer light toast may be disappointed with the uneven browning and varying intensity on the lowest setting. However, folks that fit squarely in the center (not too light and not too dark) will certainly appreciate the evenness and pleasant mid-toastiness that the medium setting offers. The highest setting was also one of the most passable of the group, with only the top third portion of the bread being slightly overdone.\r\n\r\nOverall, this is a nice-looking toaster that offers good bang for its buck and is our favorite of the high-end toasters we tried. Just note that it doesn't have a retractable cord, but we wouldn't dub that a deal-breaker.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"BEST ALL-PURPOSE\" product_name=\"KitchenAid Toaster\" pros=\"Sleek look that comes in six shades and finishes\" pros1=\"Incredibly stable and lever feels high-quality\" pros2=\"Shade dial has an audible click, so you know it\u2019s properly set\" pros3=\"A bell sounds when each toast session is finished\" pros4=\"Bagel symbol indicates which way to insert halves\" pros5=\"1-year warranty\" pros6=\"Bagel and defrost settings\" cons=\"Toasts more slowly than other picks on this list\" cons1=\"3-prong plug may not work with all outlets\" cons2=\"Fingerprint magnet\" cons3=\"May not be the most durable\" image=\"1967628\" image_credit=\"EMIKO FRANZEN FOR TASTE OF HOME\" pr_name=\"Perigold\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.perigold.com%2FKitchenAid%25C2%25AE--KitchenAid%25C2%25AE-2Slice-Toaster-with-Manual-Lift-Lever-KMT2115-L7426-K~P001693921.html\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Perigold\" retailers_2_name=\"Walmart\" retailers_2_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FKitchenAid-2-Slice-Toaster-with-Manual-Lift-Lever-Contour-Silver-KMT2115%2F39668326\" retailers_2_display_text=\"Shop on Walmart\" retailers_3_name=\"KitchenAid\" retailers_3_url=\"https:\/\/www.kqzyfj.com\/click-9070496-10441960?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kitchenaid.com%2Fcountertop-appliances%2Ftoasters%2Ftwo-slice%2Fp.2-slice-toaster.kmt2109sx.html\" retailers_3_display_text=\"Shop on KitchenAid\" retailers_4_name=\"Amazon\" retailers_4_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B007P204UM?tag=tohmke-20\" retailers_4_display_text=\"Shop on Amazon\" \/]\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nAs evidenced in our KitchenAid mixer review<\/a>, we're already pretty big fans of the appliance brand. That's why we're excited that the KitchenAid toaster's<\/a> easy controls, perfect browning and sleek look secured it a spot as the best all-purpose option. We chose the Empire Red model with reflective red plastic sides and a brushed stainless top band, though it's available in five other colors and finishes. Chrome vents on the side give it a retro automobile feel that we love.\r\n\r\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/The-7-Best-Toasters_Tested-and-Reviewed_KitchenAid_TOHA_Toasters_EF_021524_3529.jpg?fit=700,1024\")
\r\n\r\nThat said, this is definitely one of the best toasters for those who prefer light to medium-dark toast. The highest setting churned out smoking pieces that looked pretty inedible and the medium setting was a bit more brown than we'd expect. Most folks will find that the sweet spot is the lowest setting, which offers a golden brown, even toast that extends the whole length of each bread slice.\r\n\r\nMost importantly, though, is that the KitchenAid toaster performs well across the board. In our tests involving waffles and a toaster pastry on low, it performed nicely. The waffle had a nice golden brown on the parts that are brown, and the insides were warmed through. We were most impressed with the toaster pastry, which warmed up nicely in the middle and got a little golden around the edges. It also offers a perfect bagel with a golden-brown hue and a few dark spots\u2014but dang, did it take a while to get there.\r\n\r\nThis guy is slow and steady\u2014though he did win some of the races. There are also bagel and keep warm functions (a nice pro). For a mid-price toaster, this met our expectations and, in some ways (looking at you, Pop Tarts<\/a>), exceeded them.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"BEST SMART\" product_name=\"Breville Toaster\" pros=\"Has \u201cLift and Look\u201d and \u201cA Bit More\u201d buttons\" pros1=\"Modern and attractive look\" pros2=\"Toaster is very stable, without being \u201csticky\u201d\" pros3=\"Automated lever button\" pros4=\"Fits squatter slices at an angle\" pros5=\"Shows virtually zero fingerprints\" pros6=\"2- and 3-year warranties for purchase\" cons=\"Does not come with manual\" cons1=\"No choice of color or finish\" cons2=\"Pricey\" cons3=\"May be a bit slower than other options\" image=\"1967626\" image_credit=\"EMIKO FRANZEN FOR TASTE OF HOME\" pr_name=\"Breville\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.breville.com%2Fen-us%2Fproduct%2Fbta820\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Breville\" retailers_2_name=\"Amazon\" retailers_2_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00140SC64?tag=tohmke-20\" retailers_2_display_text=\"Shop on Amazon\" retailers_3_name=\"Walmart\" retailers_3_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FBreville-Die-Cast-2-Slice-Toaster%2F162109744\" retailers_3_display_text=\"Shop on Walmart\" \/]\r\n\r\nSmart toasters are a great fit for those who consider their toaster one of their most-used appliances (or for BLT fanatics<\/a> like us). Because of this, our list of the best toasters wouldn't be complete without this top-performing Breville smart toaster.<\/a> So, what makes this luxury small appliance<\/a> so smart? You won't find a gimmicky LED screen or touch controls here. Instead, it's what's inside<\/em> that takes this toaster to the next level.\r\n\r\n![\"Breville](\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/The-7-Best-Toasters_Tested-and-Reviewed_Breville_TOHA_Toasters_EF_021524_3541.jpg?fit=700,1024\")
\r\n\r\nBagels and toaster pastries come out perfectly bronzed, and waffles are defrosted with a pleasant golden-brown color on one side. Brava, Breville! In terms of toast, the lowest setting offers a really nice kiss of brown all over. The medium setting gives similarly even results, despite a grid outline of the rungs on one side of the bread as opposed to the solid browning present on the reverse sides. Each piece was pleasantly crispy. In our tests of the highest setting, some portions of the bread are just dark brown versus actual black. That may be a pro for some who prefer dark brown toast to blackened pieces.\r\n\r\nThis is one of only two toasters that could fit the 7.25-in. squat sourdough bread (at an angle). Remarkably, the Breville also hides fingerprints very well. You'd think no one has ever touched it! Extras include a \"Lift and Look\" button which pauses the toast cycle, raises up the bread for viewing, then lowers it. A button labeled \"A Bit More\" does exactly that, adding a bit more time to the toasting clock. Both buttons are a nice touch, and two of the features that makes this option a standout. A bar on the bottom shows the toaster's progress, so it's easy to know when breakfast is ready at a glance.\r\n\r\nOverall, we found this a good pick for home cooks that should last much longer than its inexpensive counterparts.\r\n\r\n\r\nProducts on Our Radar<\/h2>\r\n\r\n \t- Cuisinart Digital Stainless Steel 2-Slice Toaster<\/strong><\/a>: If you're looking for a futuristic toaster with impressive smart features, this Cuisinart pick is right up your alley. Beyond its stainless steel design, it boasts fancy features that would only make your mornings even easier \u2014 think a large digital screen with a countdown, a shade selector (1 to 7) and, maybe most excitingly, a memory set feature. That means you can set, save and select your favorite settings for bagels, waffles, toast and more.<\/li>\r\n \t

Even with this cool feature, there are 7 browning levels along with a 1-touch defrost, reheat and bagel option.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nWhat To Look for When Buying a Toaster<\/h2>\r\nWhen looking for the best toaster, there are literally hundreds (if not thousands) of options available. Sure, you can always fire up your trusted toaster oven<\/a>. But toasters take up less space and some home cooks swear that they toast more efficiently than their countertop cousins. They're often cheaper, too.\r\n\r\nTo narrow things down, think of what aspects are the most important to your family. Are you looking for a toaster that offers a touchscreen and artisanal toasting modes? Or are you hunting down a reliable pick that will last for years and is small enough to fit on an apartment counter or kitchen cart<\/a>? Something in-between?\r\n\r\nNext, consider your budget. While some toasters ring up at over $400, the average person may not (and likely won't) need to splurge on a fancy option. This step is easier once you determine your needs. Larger four-slice toasters are often pricier than their two-slice counterparts, but price also depends on functionality. Generally, those looking for a simple appliance without extra bells and whistles can safely spend under $100.\r\n\r\nRegardless of what you're looking for, our team put in the work to find the best toasters for every budget, breakfast and space.\r\nWhy You Should Trust Us<\/h2>\r\n![\"Toasted](\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/The-7-Best-Toasters_Tested-and-Reviewed_TOHA_Toasters_EF_021524_3670_with-Labels_KSedit.jpg?fit=700,1024\")

\r\n\r\nOur Product Testing Team began by researching and identifying top toaster brands, focusing on those which are easy to secure at big box stores. From there, we spent three days testing 14 different toaster options in our Testing Lab. Our picks ranged from $23.99 all the way up to $297.\r\n\r\nTwo hands-on testers worked with each pick to test for the following features:\r\n\r\n \t- Size and unit of measurements<\/li>\r\n \t
- Packaging and shipping quality<\/li>\r\n \t
- The fit of test foods, including thick cut brioche, sourdough, English muffins, pastries, bagels and frozen waffles<\/li>\r\n \t
- Ease of slice removal<\/li>\r\n \t
- Any special settings and the performance of those settings<\/li>\r\n \t
- How long the settings take<\/li>\r\n \t
- Appearance, material and overall quality<\/li>\r\n \t
- Ease of care and cleaning<\/li>\r\n \t
- Quality compared to price<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nOur tests (including a fingerprint smudge test) helped determine which toaster came out on top, and what other brands are worth considering. The picks on our list span a diverse range of budgets, sizes and capabilities, so we categorized each toaster that made the cut by its best features.\r\n\r\nWhether you're looking for the perfect piece of toast or something that gets the job done for a fair price, you're bound to find your next favorite breakfast sidekick on our list.\r\n

What To Look for When Buying a Toaster<\/h2>\r\nWhen looking for the best toaster, there are literally hundreds (if not thousands) of options available. Sure, you can always fire up your trusted toaster oven<\/a>. But toasters take up less space and some home cooks swear that they toast more efficiently than their countertop cousins. They're often cheaper, too.\r\n\r\nTo narrow things down, think of what aspects are the most important to your family. Are you looking for a toaster that offers a touchscreen and artisanal toasting modes? Or are you hunting down a reliable pick that will last for years and is small enough to fit on an apartment counter or kitchen cart<\/a>? Something in-between?\r\n\r\nNext, consider your budget. While some toasters ring up at over $400, the average person may not (and likely won't) need to splurge on a fancy option. This step is easier once you determine your needs. Larger four-slice toasters are often pricier than their two-slice counterparts, but price also depends on functionality. Generally, those looking for a simple appliance without extra bells and whistles can safely spend under $100.\r\n\r\nRegardless of what you're looking for, our team put in the work to find the best toasters for every budget, breakfast and space.\r\nWhy You Should Trust Us<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\nAs home cooks and breakfast enthusiasts, we take our toast seriously at\u00a0Taste Recipes<\/em>. We know that toasters may not be the most glamorous kitchen appliance. However, we firmly believe that everyone deserves a reliable option that delivers a delicious crunch. Breakfast should always be free from burn marks and uneven browning.\r\n\r\nOur testing team has three years of experience testing and evaluating everything from the best coffee subscriptions<\/a> to the best flower delivery services<\/a>. Many of us have backgrounds in kitchen and culinary careers ourselves. The remainder of our team are simply passionate home cooks who want to recommend the very best products using honest and fair testing practices. We would never recommend a product we don't love, regardless of how popular it is or how big the brand is.\r\nHow We Found the Best Toasters<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\nOur Product Testing Team began by researching and identifying top toaster brands, focusing on those which are easy to secure at big box stores. From there, we spent three days testing 14 different toaster options in our Testing Lab. Our picks ranged from $23.99 all the way up to $297.\r\n\r\nTwo hands-on testers worked with each pick to test for the following features:\r\n\r\n \t- Size and unit of measurements<\/li>\r\n \t
- Packaging and shipping quality<\/li>\r\n \t
- The fit of test foods, including thick cut brioche, sourdough, English muffins, pastries, bagels and frozen waffles<\/li>\r\n \t
- Ease of slice removal<\/li>\r\n \t
- Any special settings and the performance of those settings<\/li>\r\n \t
- How long the settings take<\/li>\r\n \t
- Appearance, material and overall quality<\/li>\r\n \t
- Ease of care and cleaning<\/li>\r\n \t
- Quality compared to price<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nOur tests (including a fingerprint smudge test) helped determine which toaster came out on top, and what other brands are worth considering. The picks on our list span a diverse range of budgets, sizes and capabilities, so we categorized each toaster that made the cut by its best features.\r\n\r\nWhether you're looking for the perfect piece of toast or something that gets the job done for a fair price, you're bound to find your next favorite breakfast sidekick on our list.\r\n
Other Toasters We Tested<\/h2>\r\n\r\n \t- Cuisinart Two-Slice Toaster:<\/strong><\/a> There was nothing impressive about the performance of this toaster, and the buttons prove difficult to clean.<\/li>\r\n \t
- Revolution Touchscreen Toaster:<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>We've already covered this smart toaster<\/a>, and while we love the fun features, we ultimately found it rather pricey.<\/li>\r\n \t
- Haden Toaster:<\/a><\/strong> This toaster looks like it belongs in a vintage movie. While we love the design, the performance was rather ho-hum.<\/li>\r\n \t

\r\n\r\nAs home cooks and breakfast enthusiasts, we take our toast seriously at\u00a0Taste Recipes<\/em>. We know that toasters may not be the most glamorous kitchen appliance. However, we firmly believe that everyone deserves a reliable option that delivers a delicious crunch. Breakfast should always be free from burn marks and uneven browning.\r\n\r\nOur testing team has three years of experience testing and evaluating everything from the best coffee subscriptions<\/a> to the best flower delivery services<\/a>. Many of us have backgrounds in kitchen and culinary careers ourselves. The remainder of our team are simply passionate home cooks who want to recommend the very best products using honest and fair testing practices. We would never recommend a product we don't love, regardless of how popular it is or how big the brand is.\r\nHow We Found the Best Toasters<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\nOur Product Testing Team began by researching and identifying top toaster brands, focusing on those which are easy to secure at big box stores. From there, we spent three days testing 14 different toaster options in our Testing Lab. Our picks ranged from $23.99 all the way up to $297.\r\n\r\nTwo hands-on testers worked with each pick to test for the following features:\r\n\r\n \t- Size and unit of measurements<\/li>\r\n \t
- Packaging and shipping quality<\/li>\r\n \t
- The fit of test foods, including thick cut brioche, sourdough, English muffins, pastries, bagels and frozen waffles<\/li>\r\n \t
- Ease of slice removal<\/li>\r\n \t
- Any special settings and the performance of those settings<\/li>\r\n \t
- How long the settings take<\/li>\r\n \t
- Appearance, material and overall quality<\/li>\r\n \t
- Ease of care and cleaning<\/li>\r\n \t
- Quality compared to price<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nOur tests (including a fingerprint smudge test) helped determine which toaster came out on top, and what other brands are worth considering. The picks on our list span a diverse range of budgets, sizes and capabilities, so we categorized each toaster that made the cut by its best features.\r\n\r\nWhether you're looking for the perfect piece of toast or something that gets the job done for a fair price, you're bound to find your next favorite breakfast sidekick on our list.\r\n
Other Toasters We Tested<\/h2>\r\n\r\n \t- Cuisinart Two-Slice Toaster:<\/strong><\/a> There was nothing impressive about the performance of this toaster, and the buttons prove difficult to clean.<\/li>\r\n \t
- Revolution Touchscreen Toaster:<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>We've already covered this smart toaster<\/a>, and while we love the fun features, we ultimately found it rather pricey.<\/li>\r\n \t
- Haden Toaster:<\/a><\/strong> This toaster looks like it belongs in a vintage movie. While we love the design, the performance was rather ho-hum.<\/li>\r\n \t
- Wolf Gourmet Toaster:<\/strong><\/a> While we enjoyed the look of this handsome toaster, the price and three-prong plug make it pretty niche.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
