This question is tough to answer and is really based on personal preference. These appliances are quite simple in functionality, and really vary in build quality and how much work they can handle at once. Most cost 10-50 dollars, and for prices closer to 50 dollars you can get a really good one. But assuming you want a simple, two – four slice toaster… first one we recommend is the Oster TSSTTRWF4S 4-Slice Toaster. It has a good looking exterior from brushed aluminum, and simple knobs for selecting the appropriate heat settings. As for 2-slice toasters, Krups KH732D Toaster is a good one too. It is chrome coated (looking quite good when clean), and even has a removable crumb tray. That last part is a feature that most toasters don’t have.
