• The number of degrees of roasting. It is better if there will be at least six. Thus, you have a better chance of finding the optimal mode of cooking toast to your liking.
• Case material. There is no particular difference between modern plastic and metal, but it is important that the toaster has good thermal insulation.
• Design. Focus on your preferences and compatibility of the toaster with the style of the kitchen interior.
