Winner
KitchenAid Two Slice Toaster 5KMT221, 94/100; £99; ao.com
A great all-round model. Features include a shade control dial with seven settings, as well as defrost and keep-warm functions; the bagel setting toasts the inside and warms the outside. The toaster beeps when it finishes and comes in red, black, grey or cream. The only downside is that the toasting time is a little slow.

Budget buy
Kenwood True Two Slice Toaster TTP200, 90/100; £32; kenwoodworld.com/uk
A simple two-slice toaster that is easy to use and to clean, and that browns bread evenly. The exterior stays cool during use. Again it could be quicker, and there is no bagel setting.
