Amazon Basics Toaster 2 Slice

Overview

Amazon Basics 900W 2-slice toaster with extra-wide slots, 6 browning settings and dedicated bagel and defrost buttons, sized for individuals or small kitchens rather than large households.

This is a compact, single-purpose toaster without extras like a warming rack, aimed at anyone who just needs two slices toasted consistently. The bagel setting applies lighter heat to one side rather than toasting both sides equally, matching how most bagel functions work across brands.

• 900W, 2-slice capacity
• Extra-wide 5.25 by 1.25 inch slots
• 37-inch cord with wrap storage
• Removable rear crumb tray

Who it's for

Suits single people or small kitchens wanting a no-frills toaster with a bagel setting and cord storage. Not the choice for larger households needing to toast four slices at once, since this is a strict 2-slice unit despite one review referring to it as 4-slice.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The bagel button applies less heat to one side while lightly toasting the other, a common approach among 2-slice toasters, rather than fully toasting both cut sides. The extra-lift lever raises smaller items like English muffins above the slot edge for easier removal, and the crumb tray sits at the rear for wipe-down cleaning. One detailed reviewer traced a carriage-holding failure to a metal plate slightly undersized relative to the electromagnet, which can let toast pop back up before it latches down.
