These stylish and functional devices change your idea of toasters a bit. Instead of adding a pair of slots, their producers have only increased the length of device, making no considerable difference to its design, and leaving their compact appearance with them.
Slim 4 slice toasters have the capacity of their classically looking counterparts, possessing all the necessary functions, except for the dual controls. This is the only disadvantage you will face when buying almost every product of this type: no opportunity to control the toaster slots separately.
Let's have a closer look at the range of models you will likely choose from, considering a slim toaster, and the minuses you may face:
Haier TST240SS is a stylish toaster made of stainless steel, having two long slots and one control panel. Aside from being unable to control the slots separately you will also be devoid of bagel function, so consider it before buying this device. It has a special rack for warming up baked goods.
T-Fal TT6802002 is another popular model, which is unique due to its modern style (rounded corners, black color with digital symbols shining blue on it). It has the complete set of toasting functions and is supplied by a digital display for tracking the controls and saving them for the next time.
Sensio Bella Professional Slice Toaster is the most expensive and the most functional in this range. Being priced at it offers the function which is rare for slim toasters: dual control for its slots, meaning that you will be able to tune them up separately. The toaster is made of die-cast aluminum and has a warming rack to help you heat the muffins and other baked products.
Breville CT75XL Ikon is a premium four slice toaster having all the necessary features for good toasting. It has a lift-and-look feature which was probably integrated to let you see if your toast is not still burnt into ashes, as some consumers say browning modes are somewhat hard to control.
KitchenAid KTT570 is a model coming in three colors - red, black and white. What is really good about it is the high lift, making it easy to take the bread out. Besides, it has plenty of controls for any needs. However, users complain it doesn't toast the bread well, leaving it either uncooked or burnt.
Cuisinart TAN-4 Tandem is a stylish model housed in cool-touch materials for convenient cooking. All functions are included, but you should better check several units before buying one, to ensure your satisfaction.
