We Found the Best Toasters on the Market Right Now

If you've found yourself here, then you know that all toasters are not made the same. Some cheaper models are ideal for occasional toasting of plain ole bread, while others need to be a reliable kitchen workhorse, popping out breakfasts every morning for an entire family that's on the go. Good news for you: no matter your toaster needs, this list will surely have the perfect pick for you.

All nine of these toasters are top in their class for one reason or another. Whether it's the best 4-slice toaster, one with a variety of functions, or something that is functional but looks pretty great on your counter, too, this list covers the best of the best when it comes to toasters.

But before you dig in, consider a few things you might be looking for in a new toaster. Are you feeding a large group? A toaster with 4 slots is probably best, and, luckily, many come with both 2 and 4 slot options. Will you be putting the toaster away after every use or leaving it permanently on the countertop? If you're leaving it out, you may want to consider something that fits in with your kitchen's style. Do you need just the basics or would you like additional capabilities, like a convection oven or special slot adjustments for artisan style bread? While there's plenty to consider, we're sure one of these will be your perfect fit!
