Packed full of useful features, Breville’s Bread Select gives you total control over your slices of toast. Select which bread you’re using – white, brown/rye, fruit, grain, bagel and more – and the toaster’s pre-programmed timer will kick in automatically. If you’re wondering whether your slice has reached its optimal golden-brown state, you can use the Lift & Look function mid-cycle, to take a peek. Since every member of your household likely has different tastes, this toaster gives you independent control over your two slices, minimising the likelihood of burning or undercooking your breakfast.
Warranty: Amazon offers 1-year extended warranty for Dh29 and 2-year extended warranty for Dh41.
In classic stainless steel, Black+Decker’s toaster offers four-slice toasting capabilities at a decent price. Use knobs with seven setting modes to select the perfect golden-brown tint for your toast. Both sides of the toaster have individual removeable crumb trays, so clean-up is quick and easy. You can also use the defrost function to heat up frozen waffles, reheat bagels and cancel the entire toasting process mid-way if you like. Whatever you require, this toaster gives you more bang for your buck!

Why stop at toasting white bread? Some toasters, like this one by Kenwood, provide the perfect texture for a long slice of sourdough bread or ciabatta roll, allowing you to keep the bread intact. And with its Peek and View technology, you can check the browning progress without cancelling the cycle. Kenwood’s neat white finish is easy on the eyes, and even though it’s a longer, larger appliance than a regular toaster, it’s designed to seamlessly blend in with your kitchen interiors.
