You can’t be the toast of the town without a new toaster from the incredible range at The Good Guys. Your Sunday morning breakfast crumpets only deserve the best. But with so many toaster models, terrific colours and options on the market, which do you choose? You can rest easy, because we’re going to take you through the very best toasters on the market – and there’s more to it than you think!
The right toaster for you depends on the size of your kitchen, how many you are feeding and how often you will use it. Families will find a four slice toaster is essential to get everyone moving in the morning, whereas apartment dwellers may opt for a sleek 2 slice model. Let’s look at the three main styles.
The Good Guys has a terrific range of 4 slice toasters for your family. Whether your kitchen is modern, industrial or old-school, we can help find the one for you.

More than just great colours and different sizes, there are plenty of things that you should look out for when buying a new toaster. Here are some of our favourite features.
Size counts when choosing a toaster. We recommend a 4 slice toaster for a busy family and a 2 slice toaster for couples or apartment living. Unless you really love a few extra slices in the morning…
Here are a few tips when considering toaster designs:
If you like your appliances with the latest bells and whistles, some toasters now feature LED lights as a progression bar or timer, WiFi connectivity and different alerts that let you know when your toast is ready.
If you’ve ever burnt your fingers taking hot toast or crumpets out of the toaster, you’ll realise how awesome a height-lift carriage is. It allows you to raise smaller items above the slots and saves the ends of your fingers.
For the inquisitive, impatient, curious or all of the above, the Lift’n’Look feature allows you to manually raise the toast up so you can see how it’s going. It won’t even interrupt the heating cycle for you.
Our favourite feature is the countdown clock on the digital display that some modern toasters have. 3…2…1… toast liftoff!
‘A bit more’ button gives your toast a minute more cooking time without needing to start the toasting cycle again. Basically, it’s a shortcut to toast perfection.
You’ve created a fabulous modern kitchen, and appliances like a toaster can really finish off the look. If you’ve created a Scandi style kitchen, go for a toaster that is sleek and stylish. Your Hamptons kitchen needs a white or pale coloured toaster to match the neutral tones. Have you upgraded your appliances to stainless steel? Then a stainless steel toaster will match the look as well. The Smeg retro toaster looks perfect within an industrial kitchen, whereas a gorgeous black toaster will suit any modern kitchen with a little flair.
There are loads of toasters in the range at your local The Good Guys store, so you’re sure to find the one that best suits your needs.
