The best toasters for toasting bread, bagels and pastries at home

These models are the best things since sliced bread.

The wafting aroma of toast being made is one of those smells that’ll always remind you of home.

Be it baked beans on toast at breakfast or a slice of artisan raisin toast for afternoon tea…there’s just something so comforting about the filling and low-fuss snack.

Although simple is still substantial in the toasting game, toasters have come a long way since the standard one-setting, two-slice model. Many toasters now also feature long slice slots and smart screens that make brunching that bit easier.

So, with options for two-slice and four-slice toasters aplenty, we’ve rounded up some of the best toasters – with affordability, style and functionality in mind – that’ll have you serving perfectly browned bagels, pastries and toast every morning.
