Outfitted for a wide range of toasting preferences, this Krups two-slice toaster is versatile and easy to control. At 1050 watts, it is also a powerful countertop machine, so operation is quick and efficient, whether you are toasting a round of blueberry bagels or warming a croissant. The toaster features two extra-wide slots with a three-level position lever that simplifies toast removal. Eight dial-controlled browning settings range from very light to very dark, while a defrost function thaws bread before crisping it. The handy bagel function toasts only the cut side of the bagel while gently warming the crust, and a nonstick removable warming rack on top handles muffins and pastries. A cancel button interrupts any function immediately.

Sturdy and practical in design, the toaster features cool-touch housing to protect hands. The crumb tray and warming rack are both dishwasher-safe, and the helpfully mounted control panel is made of metal. Though no slim model, the unit easily earns its counter space with its broad applications. It measures 7-1/2 by 11 by 8 inches and carries a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard
