The Breville Die-Cast 2 Slice Toaster was the top model in our test. It's worth every cent if you're looking for a champion toaster that will turn out evenly golden brown slices of bread batch after batch. With the push of a button, the grates lower your toast automatically — no lever-pressing. It also features extra wide slots for bagels.
Use the Lift and Look setting to check on its progress; if it isn't browned to perfection, use the A Bit More feature to add extra time. A pull-out crumb tray on the base makes it easy to clean, although it is not dishwasher safe. Also worth noting that the sleek die-cast metal housing makes it major eye candy for your countertop.
