Our editor Stefan Vazharov adores this innovative kitchen gadget, saying in his review, “Over several weeks of testing, The Toaster by Balmuda significantly upped the quality of my kitchen routine. It not only replaced my old toaster with superior results but also helped me rely less on my tiny kitchen’s gas-powered stove.”
