"How To Choose Your Best Slice Toaster!"

There are literally thousands of slice toasters out on the market right now. So how in the blue blazes do you go about the process of choosing which one is going to do the best job in filling your needs?
Well, you start this little process by determining exactly what you want your slice toaster to do.
Now, before you give the "yeah right duh... smart aleck" answer of; "make toast" please consider your real needs.

1. Do you want to make bagels?

If so then you may want to look at slice toasters with ALL of their slots being able to toast bagels. Why ALL their slots. Because, if you choose a 4 slice toaster and only 2 slots do bagels then 2 things happen.
A) you need two bagels at the same time and it would be nice if they were both actually hot at the same time. Otherwise your significant other is chowing down and you're not or vice versa.
Or B) you want to do regular bread and because the bagel slots are bigger and don't toast as dark as the smaller slots you can never get all four slices to be the same color even after fiddling with the control knobs for 10 minutes.

2. Do you really need a 2 slice toaster or a 4 slice toaster?

Most people start off with a 2 slice toaster only to wish they had purchased a 4 slice. If you buy a 4 slice toaster, you only have to use one side at a time so you really don't have to worry about not being green and using too much energy. Just be sure you get the one where you can use only one 2 slice side at a time.
