2 Slice Toasters

2 slice toasters are perfect for those who just need a basic, easy to use toaster. If you are stuck trying to decide between a two slice model or a higher capacity one, here’s a few things to consider.

How many people live in your house? If you are a single person living alone, a 2 slice toaster is probably all you need. Unless you like eating four slices of toast at once of course! If more than one person lives in your household do you regularly have breakfast at the same time they do? If so, it can be a pain in the morning having to wait in line everyday to use the toaster. You may want to consider a higher capacity model in this case. A two slice model may not work for you.

One great thing about buying a two slice toaster compared to a four slice is the small amount of counter space they take up. Many people have small kitchens and 2 slice toasters are very small and compact. Four slice models can be significantly larger and take up a huge chunk of useful counter top space.

These models are also super simple to operate. No duplicate controls or buttons. Just a simple toast lever, a single shade selector and a few buttons. No instruction manual required! Most have extra wide slots so that you can toast regular bread, bagels, pastries and even frozen waffles.

Two slice toasters are available in great looking stainless steel just like the larger models. They are also cheaper and more lightweight.

For user reviews on 2 slice toasters and to check out the differences between models, check out shopping sites such as Amazon.com. You’ll be able to read reviews from people who have actually purchased and used the model that you are looking at. A toaster should last you years and years so it’s something that you may want to put a little bit of research into before purchasing.

Happy shopping and enjoy that new toaster!

4 Slice Toasters

4 slice toasters are a great purchase for family’s or those who just like their toast in the morning. There’s a few things to consider when looking at a four slice toaster compared to a two slice model.

First of all, do you really need to make 4 slices at once? Family’s where more than one person is eating breakfast at the same time can really benefit from one of these models. When you are waiting in line to make some toast in the morning, it can seemingly take forever if you only have a 2 slice model.

Another great reason to look at 4 slice toasters is the variety of foods you can toast at the same time. Different types of bread, bagels, waffles and pastries can all be toasted at the same time. This is great for two or more people who are having breakfast together. It’s also perfect for when you have guests over.

One factor that you need to look at when buying a four slice toaster is the footprint of the unit. How much counter space does it take up? This can be a problem for people who live in older apartments that have very small kitchens with almost no counter space. You want to look for a unit that will work in your kitchen without causing any inconvenience by using up a ton of your counter top.

In terms of price and variety, 4 slice models are a great buy! They are only slightly more expensive than 2 slice models. Much cheaper than if you were to buy two of the smaller capacity units. All of the major toaster manufacturers make four slice units. Many of these are great looking stainless steel units.

These toasters have all of the same features that you would look for in two slice models, there’s just two more slots, an extra lever and some more buttons! Frozen buttons, bagel buttons, stay cool sides, easy lift levers, shade selectors and more.

Take these factors into consideration when shopping for 4 slice toasters and you’ll end up with a great toaster that will last you for years.

KitchenAid KMTT400 4-Slice Toaster

The first thing you notice about the KitchenAid KMTT400 toaster is the striking color schemes it’s available in. This 4 slice is made of brushed stainless steel but has three different color options for the side panels: Stainless Steel, Onyx Black and Empire Red. We particularly like the Empire Red model for adding that splash of color to your kitchen counter!

This toaster not only looks great, it’s pretty high tech as well. The KitchenAid KMTT400 features several innovative technologies including:

Even-Heat system that uses electronic sensors to precisely brown your toast just the way you want it.
