It is generally believed that the days of two-slice toasters are long gone. 4-slice toasters emerged in a new era of practical home maintenance. By practical, I know what I mean, since what can be more practical than a small kitchen appliance that serves you well in the morning when an alarm can barely wake you up to make a good breakfast for your family?
So let’s consider the pros and cons of a 4-slice toaster.
Pros:
1. To make four toasts in a two-slice toaster you must do it in several roasting sessions. This definitely requires twice as much energy as a 4-slice unit would spend to do the same. Thus, having the latter in the kitchen will definitely stay “green” and, in addition, you will save some dollars in your electricity costs.
2. Another advantage related to the first is a definite time economy. If you put four slices of bread in a toaster at the same time, you will be satisfied with the quick results you will get. Especially if you are very hungry and almost late for work.
3. Of course, larger toasters are a must for a large family. They provide an excellent opportunity to feed all members of your family quickly. Alternatively, these kitchen gadgets will be enjoyed by those who think that a breakfast of two toasts does not suit their hungry stomach.
4. Modern toasters are supplied with additional functions. These little workstations will give you a quick breakfast, adding it with eggs, muffins, waffles, or whatever type of bonus you choose when you buy one of them.
5. Most modern 4-slice toasters look great. They are perfectly crafted to fit your kitchen and the latest design standards. Although this is not the most important advantage (it is not for nothing that I put it last), it will surely help you make the right decision.
Cons
1. 4-slice toasters are generally more expensive than 2-slice. Despite the variety of its functions, it is still its main disadvantage, although some would not take it into consideration. However, today you can find units that cost around $ 25-30, which is as little as the price of a 2-slice toaster. But, of course, they lack some functions and are the simplest.
2. Designed to toast four slices of bread at a time, most of these toasters require more room on the kitchen table than smaller ones. And if the table is already full of home devices, this definitely matters.
With that said, 4-slice toasters have more pros than cons, but the final decision is up to you.
