Toaster 2 Slice Keenstone Retro Stainless Steel Toaster
Dark blue is a color that represents knowledge, authority, intelligence, and reliability. It is often seen as a serious color and many corporations choose dark blue to be part of their image.
The 2 Slice Keenstone Retro Stainless Steel Toaster comes in a stunning dark blue color, perfect for a bachelor pad or a professional business person’s home. It also has a cool retro style, making it ideal for vintage or 60s themed kitchens.
The toaster offers easy-to-use cancel, bagel, and defrost functions at the touch of a button. It has 6 browning settings. The lightest takes 70 seconds to toast, the average that most people would select takes 140 seconds. Frazzled, if you like it like that, will make you wait 220 seconds. The 2 slots are wide at 1.5 inches, perfect for bagels, Texas Toast, muffins, and pastries. There is a high-lift feature to help take smaller pieces of toast out without burning your fingers. For ease of cleaning, you have a pull-out crumb tray.

Toaster 2 Slice, REDMOND Toaster 2 Retro Bagel Stainless Steel Compact
The 2 slice Redmond Toaster comes in a stunning shade of orange tangerine. Orange is a warm and friendly color, ideal for a sunny breakfast nook or a kitchen island. It is the color that represents joy, heat, warmth, creativity, sunshine, enthusiasm, success, happiness, and encouragement. Maybe this is going a bit far when it comes to talking about a toaster, but, hey, I could do with these feelings at 6.00am on a freezing cold winter morning.
Easy-to-use buttons offer functions for bagel, cancel, and defrost. There are 7 levels of shade settings from light to dark, or burnt – don’t choose No 7!
Keeping your toaster looking bright and sun-shiny is easy. The case is made of food-grade stainless steel and can be wiped down with a damp cloth. It is also dust proof. I like the wide slots that are great for waffles, muffins, artisan breads, and bagels. They also have self-centering guides, to both sides are toasted evenly. For people who don’t enjoy having cables lying on their kitchen counters, you can wind the cable away into the slots on the underside of the device.

Cotomier Toaster 2 Slice, Rose Gold Stainless Steel Retro Toaster
Adding a stylish toaster to your kitchen counter will show off your décor skills. And, the Cotomier Toaster 2 Slice, Rose Gold Stainless Steel Retro Toaster is the perfect choice! This glorious color is Rose Gold, a sophisticated and luxurious shade that is reminiscent of lavish functions and glorious candle-lit ballrooms. Now, you probably don’t want to turn your kitchen into a ballroom, but you can certainly take a step away from everyday toasters that are black or silver. I love the water-ripple textured design on the sides that create light and dark shadows and take my toast-making experience to a new level.
So, OK enough of the poetic stuff .. let’s get back to basics. The toaster holds 2 slices of bread and offers 6 browning settings. 1-2 are light, 3-4 are golden, and 5-6 are dark. You also have a defrost function which is a must for busy people who forget to take the bread out of the freezer the night before. It is also ideal for toasting frozen waffles, crumpets, and toaster pastries. For thicker breads and bagels, there are extra-wide slots and a high-lift lever to get them out without toasting your fingers.
I always want a removable crumb tray and a wrap up cord, and this device provides both. The metal housing does not emit that initial plastic smell that plastic toasters have.

Nostalgia New and Improved Wide 2-Slice Toaster
Show your way-out personality with red, the color of passion, courage, vigor, love, danger, energy and action! While this may be over-stating a toaster, it is a very bold color that will add a fab finish to a modern or retro-themed kitchen. For added effect, it has silver trims.
On the more conservative side, the toaster can hold 2 slices in extra-wide slots. Wide slots are great for bagels, waffles, English muffins, and other toasty treats. The controls offer defrost, cancel, and bagel functions with little lights that light up when they are pressed. 5 browning functions are selected by turning a dial. For some people, a dial is old-fashioned and they prefer touch screens, but I am quite happy with a dial and numbers!
The toaster has a removable crumb tray for easy cleaning. The cord can be wrapped away for tidy storage. This fun toaster is nicely priced at under $50. To add to your red theme, why not team it up with the Nostalgia RCOF12RR New & Improved 12-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker?
