We reviewed the GE stainless steel 2-slice toaster on this page. It was a US-market toaster, and it isn’t available on Amazon UK. If what you liked was a smart stainless steel toaster with wide slots, this is what we’d buy here instead.
The pick: Breville Edge 2 Slice Toaster
The Breville Edge (VTT981) is a brushed stainless steel 2-slice toaster with a deep chassis, which means it toasts tall slices all the way to the top rather than leaving a pale strip. For anyone buying bloomers or sourdough rather than sandwich loaves, that’s the real reason to choose it.
- Brushed stainless steel body
- Variable-width slots for thick or thin slices, with variable browning control
- Lift and look, so you can check the toast mid-cycle
- High lift for getting crumpets and small items out without burnt fingers
- Defrost, reheat and cancel, plus a removable crumb tray, non-slip base and cord storage
It’s rated 4.4 stars from over 2,300 reviews on Amazon UK.
Who it suits: anyone who wants a stainless toaster that looks good on the side and handles bakery bread properly.
The honest downside: stainless steel shows fingerprints and splashes, so it needs a regular wipe to keep it looking smart. It’s also only two slices, so busy family breakfasts will mean two rounds.
Runner-up: Russell Hobbs Textures 2 Slice Toaster
If stainless steel isn’t essential, the Russell Hobbs Textures 2 Slice Toaster has a much bigger track record, with over 13,000 reviews at 4.3 stars. It has wide slots, frozen, cancel and reheat settings, variable browning and a removable crumb tray, in a black textured plastic body that hides fingerprints.
