How we tested
We put all the toasters featured in this guide through their paces. We looked at how evenly the bread toasted, how long it took to cook and how big a slice the toasters could handle.
Aesthetics was something else we considered, since most people have their toaster on display at all times. Of course, being carb lovers, we also tried the toaster out with other break-like goodies, including crumpets and bagels. Here are the toasters that performed the best.
