01.Introduction
Test results for 19 four-slice toasters, from $22 to $200.
Today's toasters feature reheat and frozen bread settings, not to mention dual controls, extra lift and the capacity to toast a range of bread varieties as well as crumpets and bagels. They come in a range of colours and sizes to suit individual needs and are designed to complement the modern-day kitchen. But while you can pay top price for a fancy-looking toaster, how can you be sure it will perform its most important function — toasting bread?
Our ease of use test assesses their controls and ease of cleaning. We use white bread in all our performance tests as it allows a more directly comparative analysis of the toasters. For performance we look at:
- Browning
- Single slice
- Frozen bread
