Critics and owners alike say that the sleek, striking The DeLonghi Brushed Aluminum DTT900 two-slice toaster is easy to clean and well designed. It outperforms several other toasters in tests at Slate.com and Fine Cooking. It boasts a host of features, including a rounded housing, cord storage, a warming rack for pastries and a motorized carriage that allows you to lift and lower bread with the push of a button. Owners say that this toaster is attractive enough to leave out on the counter, but some gripe that the slots aren't wide enough to accommodate bagels and rolls. If looks don't matter as much as performance, reviewers say that the KitchenAid KMTT200 two-slice toaster (*Est. $70), which can fit bagels and rolls, is an excellent choice.
We read the best reviews of the DeLonghi DTT900 at Slate.com and in Fine Cooking magazine. Both magazines put several toasters through their paces. We found consumer reviews at Cooking.com, Amazon.com, Epinions.com and Buzzillions.com.
