Let's Talk About Toasters!

Well my current toaster has seen it's last days... I'm doing this blog post to help me to further make my decision on which toaster I should purchase. Right now I have a 4 slice white toaster, I am looking for something similar, and in a white or silver shade. I have gathered a few options, help me choose.... 

First up is the Breville Die- Cast Smart Toaster with 2- Long Slots. It's features include:
Lift & Look and A Bit More at a touch of a button. LEDs count down the toasting progress. Full die-cast construction, automatic raising and lowering, bagel, frozen and adjustable volume settings. One touch. Perfection.

• Fully motorized one touch ""Lift & Look"" button to check progress
