This two-slice toaster is another proud offering from the Cuisinart family of small appliances, lending both style and substance to your kitchen benchtop.

You’ll notice the lack of a lever on this toaster, and that’s because it lowers and raises your bread with a motorised lift mechanism. It’s a neat party trick, and it’s a further reminder of Cuisinart’s mission to make kitchen tasks less manual. There are reheat and defrost functions, and there’s also a Bagel function that will leave your bagels toasted on the cut side and warm on the other. With seven browning settings, the toaster caters to everyone’s textural preferences. You can track your toasting progress on the blue backlit LED screen.

When it comes to breakfast appliances, this Cuisinart product is one you’d want to propose a toast to.
