Get your morning off to the best start with this stylish grey 2 slice toaster from Swan. There’s no need to worry if you leave a loaf in the freezer, as the defrost function will quickly thaw out frozen bread. Plus, if your toast is ready before your eggs, the handy reheat setting will warm up each slice without browning them any further. It’ll stay secure too, thanks to the non-slip feet, which make sure it won’t slide across your worktop if you knock it. It even has a removable crumb tray, so there’ll be no messy clean-ups after a busy breakfast.

Start your day in the best way with this sleek white toaster from Tefal. Because you can make 4 slices at the same time, preparing breakfast for the whole family is a breeze. And you won’t have to worry about accidentally singeing your fingers, as the high lift feature lets you reach smaller breads like bagels and English muffins. The Defrost Function is handy too, especially if you keep your loaves in the freezer. There’s no risk of you burning your toast either, thanks to the Variable Browning function – which lets you choose how golden you’d like it to be. When the crumb tray starts to get full, simply remove and empty it to keep messes off of your worktop.

Enjoy delicious crumpets, waffles or good old toast and butter for breakfast, with this silver toaster from Bosch. You can make up to 4 slices at once – perfect for second servings or when you have guests staying. Burned fingers are a thing of the past too, as each slice can be plucked out safely thanks to the innovative High Lift function. It has illuminated controls as well, so you’ll always be able to see which setting it’s on. And if your housemates prefer their bread browner than yours, then the variable settings will let you select different shades to suit your preference. Then, when you’ve finished, the tray can be easily removed to dispose of any crumbs.

Prepare the brunch of dreams with this blue De’Longhi toaster. It has 4 slots, making it perfect for warming up a couple of slices of bread or a few crumpets. To check up on them, the High Lift function will raise your snacks further than normal, so you’ll be able to just pick them up without singeing your fingertips. Or, if a bagel is more your squeeze, there’s a special setting that’ll toast them perfectly, and all you’ll need to worry about is choosing between cream cheese or smoked salmon. It won’t matter if you forget to take them out the freezer either, as the defrost feature will quickly thaw them. This model comes with a 1 year manufacturer warranty, for extra peace of mind.

Spice up your breakfast choices with this matte white Smeg toaster. Because it has 2 slots, it’s ideal for a couple of slices of your favourite loaf, or a tasty English muffin. If you’ve forgotten to take your naughty treats out the freezer, just flick on the defrost setting and it’ll safely thaw them in no time. Or, if you’re relying on a dose of cream cheese to brighten up your day, the special bagel function will reduce the power on one side to deliver that deliciously golden crunch on the other. And thanks to the reheat setting, which warms food without cooking it further, it won’t even matter if you get nattering to the postman on his morning round. You’ll never be left dealing with leftover crumbs either, as the handy tray can be easily removed for mess-free emptying.
