Our verdict

A sensible match for households that toast different breads side by side, since each pair of wide slots runs on its own controls. Shade is set by a manual dial, and no defrost or reheat mode is listed.

Overview

A busy family kitchen counter gets two toasters in one brushed steel housing here. Each pair of extra-wide slots has its own shade selector and controls, so two people can start toast at different times, and a lift raises small breads like English muffins for easy retrieval.

Split controls are why this toaster earns counter space: one side can do bagels while the other browns sandwich bread lighter. Wide slots take artisan and homemade slices without squeezing. The four slot body does take up a fair amount of counter width.

Who it's for

Morning rushes with several people at the counter suit the split design, since each side runs its own cycle. Bagel eaters and home bakers with thick loaves get room in the wide slots. Someone toasting one slice a day will carry more machine than needed.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Two independent sides with separate controls
  • Extra-wide slots take thick artisan bread
  • Bagel setting toasts only the cut side
  • Toast Boost lifts English muffins for retrieval
Cons
  • Four slot body needs counter width
  • Defrost or reheat setting not listed
  • Two crumb trays to empty instead of one
  • Shade set by manual turn dial

Performance notes

Even browning on a lone slice comes from the Sure-Toast single-slice mode, which works in either slot. Each side has its own shade selector, so browning on one pair does not change the other. Auto shutoff ends the cycle even when bread jams, and the cancel button pops toast early.
