We put 30 toasters through their paces. 18 of these are classic compact toasters, which toast two slices at a time, as do 5 of the 12 long-slot models we tested. Seven of the long-slot toasters tested can even toast up to four slices of bread at the same time. A good two-thirds of the toasters tested performed well, and one of the cheapest models is actually among the best...

The toaster from WMF has a wide range of functions: for example, bagels can be perfectly prepared all round with one-sided warming. However, toasts are also browned attractively and usually evenly with the right settings, regardless of the selected browning level. However, you will have to be patient longer than with most of the other models tested.

The WMF test candidate is suitable for small kitchens and lovers of simple design. If you want to toast an extra-long slice of bread or two toasts, you will need to bring a little more time with you. An integrated bread roll attachment extends the range of applications.
