Top 6 Small Toasters: All Tried and Tested in 2021

One of the main features used to determine the best toasters is size: and that is what inspired me to venture into the marketplace and create a review on the best small toasters out there today.

Today, all kitchen appliances vary immensely in size, from the heaviest to the astoundingly slim and compact. And even if a toaster has the ability to accommodate the largest pieces of bread slices, it can still be modeled in a design that ensures it does not take up too much space on your kitchen counter.

That is exactly what I intended to attain in this enumeration. If a product did not meet that standard, then it did not make it into the final list.

With that in mind and without wasting any more of your time, let us move on to the prime section of the post and look at the best small toasters you can acquire today.

Cuisinart CPT-2000 2-Slice Long Slot Motorized Toaster

• Regardless of what review I create, be it the best slim toasters or best modern toasters, I can always rest assured that at least one Cuisinart product will leave awe on my face. In this case, it was this Cuisinart CPT-2000 2-Slice Long Slot Motorized Toaster.
• If you are not accustomed to this Brand, allow me to introduce it to you. It is an American Home Appliances brand that was founded back in 1971 by Carl Sontheimer. And if there is one thing that this brand has been known for over the years of its existence, it is its ability to amalgamate design, practicality, and durability in all their appliances. And as you will see when you acquire this Toaster, it is no different.
• Straight out of the box, you will love the design of this appliance as well. It is slim and long, which greatly saves on space (depending on how your kitchen counter is built). All the controls have been placed to the front side, making them accessible and easy to use for people who have no experience operating toasters.
• As you can see in the image above, this appliance also retails with seven different browning levels that are in place to accommodate everyone’s taste in your household. The seventh toasting level will deliver darkly toasted slices whereas the first toasting level will deliver lightly toasted slices.
• If you tend to have children running around your kitchen when you’re preparing breakfast, then you will love the cool to the touch housing as well. This feature ensures that the toaster’s surface remains cool during operations so that if anyone accidentally comes into contact with it, they do not get burn injuries.
• That said, this does not include the area in between the slots. That area gets excessive hot during operation so stay away from it at all costs. That is why Cuisinart also included a high lift lever in this appliance. It will come in handy when you also need to retrieve small pieces of bread stuck in the toaster.
• For those who tend to get carried away while preparing their toasties, the LED countdown feature has been included.

Notable features:

• Easy to use and clean
• Comes with a motorized lift and lower function
• Space saving
• The build quality ensures the product’s durability
• The exterior surface remains cool to the touch during operations
• An LED countdown included to ensure you do not burn your slices
• Seven different browning and toasting levels to choose from

Bonsenkitchen 2-slice Black Toaster

• This Bonsenkitchen 2-slice Black Toaster could also easily qualify as one of the best black toaster out there today. And in case black is not your color, then you are lucky because this appliance also retails in a red color.
• If I’ll be honest with you, I didn’t expect this appliance to meet my standards of requirements. My daughter walked in on me while I was reading about it and pleaded to me to place an order. Needless to say, my first impression was wrong about it.
• In fact, it surpassed my expectations and standards.
• The first thing I loved about it was its compact nature that allowed it to fit perfectly at the space I had set aside on my kitchen counter.
• Since I knew that my daughter loved it, it was also essential to me to ensure its exterior surface could remain cool to the touch. I tested it for approximately 30 minutes continuously and throughout this time, it remained extremely cool on the outside. The only thing that got hot was the slots iron.
• You will also appreciate the seven different toasting levels you can pick from, which are in place to meet everyone’s toasting needs. Once the toasting procedure is up, the toaster will automatically pop up the slices high enough, so you do not accidentally burn your fingers while retrieving them.
• And if like me, you hate cleaning, then you will love the fact that Bonsenkitchen 2-slice Black Toaster is super easy to clean, thanks to the sliding out crumb tray. All you need to do is wipe it clean using a damp cloth and it is ready to be used again.
• To ensure that your kitchen counter won’t look messy when you are not using the appliance, the toaster also comes with a cord storage at the bottom side.

Notable features:

• Compact and lightweight
• Seven different browning levels to pick from
• 3 toasting modes included: defrost, reheat, and cancel
• Comes with a high lift lever
• Easy to clean, thanks to the removable crumb tray

Dash Clear View Toaster

• Straight out of the box, you can see this toaster’s unique selling proposition. In fact, you can also see it in the image above: it is the see-through window. This was enough to compel me to place an order because it is not a feature we see every day in the realm of regular toasters.
• And if you think that the see-through window is all aesthetics and no substance, then think it again. The Company included it so customers can avoid burning their bread slices. This basically means that the window is this appliance’s equivalent of a lift and look feature.
• When you see through the window that your toasties have been browned enough, all you’ll have to do is halt the process, retrieve your slices, and enjoy your breakfast. The product has also been backed by a one-year manufacturer warranty, which proves the manufacturer’s faith about this appliance’s ability to last for a long time.
• To top it off, Dash Clear View Toaster makes a perfect home or wedding gift. I’m confident anyone will appreciate its trendy color options and sleek design.

Notable features:

• Retails in four different colors
• The slot is wide enough to fit in slices of all sizes
• Very fast at delivering perfectly toasted slices
• Can be a great gift
• The package includes a manual and a one-year manufacturer warranty

Oster 2-Slice Toaster

• Oster 2-Slice Toaster is an easy to use and clean toaster retailing with seven different shade settings to serve everyone’s desire in your household. The 2 slots are extra wide, and they could fit any bread slices I tried fitting inside from croissants and English muffins to Bagel and artisan bread slices.
• And in case anything jams into the appliance it will automatically turn off to ensure the stuck slice does not get over burnt. Lastly, to ensure the appliance keeps serving your family for years, Oster ensured they used stainless steel of the highest quality.

Notable features:

• Seven different shade settings to pick from
• The slots are extra wide and long to fit in bread slices of all sizes
• Retails with an anti-jam feature
• The crumb tray is removable and dishwasher safe
• Easy to use and clean

PLUS MINUS ZERO Toaster

• At first, I was reluctant to get this appliance mainly because it did not come from a reputable brand in the realm of kitchen appliances. However, after watching tests and hearing what other people had to say about it, I had to acquire it.
• If you do not believe me, you can go ahead and try it out as well. It boasts all the basic features you could have in mind and much more. It also boasts a very unique design, which will come in handy if you’re trying to impress your friends.

Notable features:

• Exterior remains cool to the touch
• Easy to use and clean
• Could fit the longest and thickest bread slices
• High lift lever included

Hamilton Beach Modern Chrome 2-Slice Slot Toaster

• If you mostly prefer perfectly toasted bagels, then I have something that may be of your interest: this Hamilton Beach Modern Chrome 2-Slice Slot Toaster. This appliance can also deliver delicious sandwich slices, but the sweetness level of the toasted bagels was out of this world.
• It also retails with the bagel feature that allows you to toast only the cut side of your bagel and deliver it in a way that the outside is crispy, but the inside remains soft and warm.
• And when your bagel slices are done with the toasting, the toaster will automatically shut off to ensure they are not browned any further.
• For those who value versatility in the appliances they acquire, other bread meals you can prepare using this appliance are croissants, English muffins, as well as artisan bread slices. The slots are also deep enough to ensure all slices that go inside are fully toasted.
• Other features worth noting on this masterpiece is the high lift lever, seven different browning levels, three toasting modes, as well as indicator lights.
• The indicator lights are in place to keep you posted on the current setting you are operating. And when your slices are ready, ensure you use the high lift lever to lift them high enough to retrieve them without burning or hurting your fingers.
• The three modes included on the appliance, they are Cancel, Defrost, and Bagel. We’ve already talked about the bagel function so I will briefly touch on the other two features. The defrost setting allows you toast frozen bread slices. And in case anything gets stuck in the toaster, press the cancel button to halt the entire toasting process.

Notable features:

• The design matches with any kitchen interior décor
• Three different toasting modes included
• Seven different browning levels
• The exterior surface remains cool to the touch
• Automatic shut off ensures you do not burn your slices

After keenly reviewing the products above, I pick the Cuisinart CPT-2000 2-Slice Long Slot Motorized Toaster as my favorite small toaster at the moment. That said, do not let that fool you into thinking the others cannot deliver.

They are all at par with the Cuisinart CPT-2000 2-Slice Long Slot Motorized Toaster when it comes to performance, but this appliance particularly appealed to my personal preferences when it came to aesthetics.

So, if you have a problem making a final decision based on the review above, feel free to try this toaster and let me know if you love it.
