The OCU warns: these are the best toasters on the market and the characteristics they combine

An essential element in the kitchen of any house is the toaster. Useful for breakfast, but also for different recipes that involve, the vast majority, slices of bread, the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) has wanted to get fully involved in the matter for .

Although it is possibly the easiest appliance to use in the kitchen, a good toaster differs a lot from an ordinary one. Due to its power, its options and its functions, as well as its price, (although the flat ones, the mini ovens or the sandwich makers also achieve good performance).

And it is precisely in the most popular where the OCU makes the most emphasis. Noting that the most common is that they only have two slots, there are devices with up to four for those who need more capacity in the shortest possible time. Mainly occupying little space, its operation is usually very intuitive.

Simply adjust the level of toasting, insert the bread, lower the handle that they usually have so that it starts to heat up and once it is ready, the toast pops up on its own, so you don’t have to worry about its operation.

The main disadvantage of these toasters is that the size of the bread is limited by their slots.

On the other hand, its great disadvantage is that its space greatly limits the length and width of the bread (they are usually adjusted for mold slices), although there are some with adjustable slots and even more and more models with an even longer length that allows you to insert chunks. loaf lengths or two slices in the same slot at the same time.

These are the three best buys in toasters

Thus, taking into account these characteristics, the benefits of each brand and its price, the OCU highlights three models that are more than a success when buying a device for a long time.

Starting with what is the “master purchase”, the institution highlights the model. On sale from 15 euros, it has only one bread slot but the capacity to make two toasts at the same time. With seven levels of toasting, it also includes a crumb tray, a support to collect the cable (which is 85 centimeters) and functions to heat, reheat and defrost.

After this, the OCU places it as the “best of the analysis”. Available from 48.90 euros, in its two slots it has capacity for up to four simultaneous toasts. With 1,550 watts of power, the previous one had only 850 W, it is made of stainless steel, it heats, reheats and defrosts with its six toasting levels and it also has a crumb tray and a support to store the cable that, yes, is 80 centimeters .

Finally, it is worth noting the . Special for large breads, thanks to its only slot but where slices of almost 20 centimeters can be inserted, its price is around 32 euros. Also with a defrost function, it has four browning levels and includes a crumb tray, a roll holder and another to store the cable.
