1. A Dash toaster that's not like regular toasters — it's a cool toaster. Not only do reviewers say it toasts better and more evenly than other toasters, but it also has a *see through* window for monitoring the darkness of your Eggo, bagel, or toast.

As someone with Very Strong Feelings about the proper toast color, this is a game-changer. On Dash's browning levels chart , anything less than a 4 just isn't toast!! This bb also has defrost, reheat, and bagel settings, plus an extra-wide slot for bagels and ~specialty breads~. AND the crumb tray and window both slide out for easy cleanup (and no burnt smell every time you toast).

Btw, I've had this toaster for a couple of years, and it's great! Promising review: "Makes toast that is evenly toasted and to your exact specifications. Big enough to handle bagels and large bread slices. Uses crystal heating rods and not a bunch of little wires on cardboard or other flimsy medium like most toasters.

This leads to even toasting from edge to edge without untoasted lines and patches. These also allow for finer control of heating level, so your toast his consistently toasted to the level you like. The window allows for you to see it toast, functionally allowing you to see if you want it pop it out early and providing a nice toasty ambiance to your kitchen.

Glass and crumb tray are easily removed for cleaning." — Grandmultipara Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in five colors).
