In this ranking I have collected 6 best toasters for 2022. Only the best models with a price tag got into my TOP up to 3,000 rubles.

And in order to be as objective as possible, to identify the ease of use and the quality of toasting, as well as the pros and cons of each model, I studied customer reviews and expert reviews.

And now you want to know how to choose a toaster for your home in 2022? Every morning is the same. A fidgety child, a husband-… (there are many different words for him), a cat that arranges “hungry races” for you. And it is unlikely that your morning begins with a cup of aromatic coffee. Rather, from pans, pots and mountains of dirty plates. Want to make your life easier? Buy a toaster! And how to choose a toaster for the home, we will tell you.

Organization of the purchase: we study the details

Choosing a household toaster is a piece of cake, but, whatever one may say, this choice must be approached wisely. Otherwise, the “spit” will be useless and, moreover, will add unnecessary trouble to you. And that’s why.

Take, for example, this situation. You have got a big family. And every one of its members love toasted bread. As you can see, you can’t do without a special “roasting” unit.

You understand this, you buy a toaster, and… It disappoints you, because you have to constantly «guard» the cooking process and «charge» the next portion of bread. All because you just made a mistake with the size of the device.

Or such a scenario. You are late for work, but at the same time you cannot break the ritual — eat a toast with coffee. But because of the wrong toaster (with little power), you remain hungry again and again. Of course, you can adjust to the unit and get up 10-15 minutes earlier. But why is he needed at all?

Moreover, practice shows that a cheap toaster of an unknown manufacturer (and there are most of them on the household appliances market today) can cause a fire. How to avoid buying a useless and dangerous household appliance? Read this article to the end. It will definitely help you find the best toaster in all respects.

Varieties of toasters

We all know perfectly well what a toaster is., so we won’t stop there. Let’s go further. Outwardly, these devices are like twin brothers. Therefore, it is not easy, and there is no need to draw any conclusions on their appearance. Their main difference lies in the cooking control system, which can be:

• manual. This type of device is a “mammoth” of production. Little is known about it and it is no longer for sale. From the name it is clear that the cooking process here is controlled manually, which, you see, is inconvenient.
• semi-automatic. Toasters with this type of preparation, a characteristic signal makes it clear that the product is ready. However, he continues to work. You will have to turn off the device and remove the toasts with your hands.
• automatic. This type of device is the best option. He will cook, and extract, and make it clear that breakfast is ready. If we were also ourselves, there would be no price for him.

According to the type of loading, the unit can be vertical or horizontal:

• How does it work toaster vertical downloads? Everything is simple here. Such devices are used exclusively for toasting bread. In extreme cases, you can warm up a bun or croissant in it (using an additional rack).
• Home toaster horizontal or «Sandwich toaster» can please you with much more options. On such an apparatus, you can cook buns with filling, and pies, and delicious hot sandwiches.

Toaster selection options

A good choice is the right choice. Before choosing a toaster, decide what exactly you want from it. If the technique is needed to prepare breakfast «for one», it is enough to buy the simplest toaster with two compartments.

If you want to feed a large family, buy a device with either two large compartments that fit two slices of bread, or four at once. Alternatively, you can consider buying a horizontal toaster with two chambers that can easily accommodate 3-4 slices of bread.

If you like thin slices of toasted bread, a toaster with a compact compartment will suit you. If you love thick crispy pieces, take a unit with a wide one. Well, if each family member has their own preferences in size, you will have to invest in a device with the function of adjusting the thickness of the compartment.

Toaster power

As with any other household appliance, its power is important in a toaster. Here you need to be extremely careful when choosing. After all, high performance, of course, will reduce the cooking time of the delicacy, but the result can be disappointing. Well, who wants to eat «burners»?

To avoid unplanned incidents, buy models that can offer you several degrees of doneness (usually from 6 to 11).

Advice:

Use the first levels to reheat already prepared toast. The rest are for frying.

Housing materials

Well, there is no originality here. The case can be either made of plastic or metal (another question is their quality).

• If you take a toaster with a plastic case.

• From the pros you get a low price and the ability to choose colors. Of the minuses: «cheap» look, burns (plastic heats up very quickly). Moreover, under the influence of temperatures (both high and low), the plastic is deformed and quickly becomes unusable.

• If you take a toaster with a metal body.

• You get a solid, stylish, durable and reliable unit that will suit any interior. The disadvantages include the high cost of the device and the soiled metal.

But not only the appearance of the device is important. The materials of the heating chamber must also meet quality standards. For home use, a non-stick chamber is best. He is the easiest to take care of.

Additional functionality

2. Fixing the toast in the heating chamber. It will prevent your breakfast from “burning” on one side and not being fried on the other.
3. Bread lift adjustment. Allows you to prepare canapés or delicious croutons for soup.
4. Defrosting bread before toasting. The function is useful for those who store bread in the freezer.
5. Key «STOP«. An emergency pause button for the cooking process (in case you decide that your toasts are already ready).
6. Cell for the power cord. Convenient thing. The cord does not break and does not take up extra space.
7. Disconnecting the device in the process of falling. A useful feature for families with small children and pets.

2. If you want to reheat the bun, remove the wrapper from the bun.
3. Do not use extension cords for 1500 watt models or more.
