Oster TSSTTRWF4S 4-Slice Toaster
Finding the right toaster can be tough – particularly if you’re not quite sure what you should be looking for. With toasters that come in all different shapes and sizes and a wide array of different price points, a solid yet wonderful toaster like the Oster toaster could provide the best of all worlds. The Oster 4 slice toaster has the good looks of a retro toaster with its brushed metal finish, while at the same time it comes with many of the better features of more modern toasters too.
Why Choose the Oster 4 Slice Toaster?
While it is billed as being a 4 slice Oster toaster, because each pair of toasting slots comes with its own dedicated controls it is effectively like having 2 different 2 slice toasters. The flexibility that this one feature provides is really a nice touch, and if you want you could heat up muffins in one pair of slots while toasting bread in the other.
The slots themselves are ‘extra-wide’ which means that the Oster toaster is able to deal with anything you might need to toast including bread, bagels, muffins, or even tea cakes. It has a high-lift lever there should be no issue with removing smaller pieces of bread, and the auto-adjusting bread guides of the Oster toaster will help to ensure an even toast regardless of the size or thickness of the bread.
Even the controls are intuitive enough and come with the typical ‘Bagel’, ‘Reheat’, ‘Defrost’ and ‘Cancel’ options along with a dial that can be used to set the shade of brown you want your toast to be. In the line of Oster toasters there is a 2 slice version as well, but the price difference is so small that it makes sense to stick with the Oster 4 slice toaster and only use 2 slots if need be.
