Pros and Cons of the 4-Slice Toaster
It is generally believed that the days of the two-slice toaster are over. 4-slice toasters ushered in a new era of practical home maintenance. When I say practical, I know what I mean, because what can be more practical than a small kitchen gadget that serves you well in the morning when an alarm can barely wake you up to prepare a good breakfast for your family?
So let’s consider the pros and cons of a 4-slice toaster.
Advantage:
1. To make four pieces of toast in a two-slice toaster, you have to make several pieces of toast. This definitely requires twice the energy a 4-slice unit would expend to do the same thing. Thus, having the latter in the kitchen will definitely keep you “green” and, in addition, you will save a few dollars on your electricity expenses.
2. Another advantage that is related to the first one is a definite economy of time. By putting four slices of bread into a toaster at once, you’ll be pleased with the quick results you 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 quickly feed all members of your family. Alternatively, these kitchen gadgets will be enjoyed by those who think that a breakfast of two toasts is not enough for their hungry stomach.
4. Modern toasters are supplied with extra features. These little workstations will provide you with a quick breakfast, adding it with eggs, muffins, waffles, or whatever kind 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 to 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 choice.
cons
1. 4-slice toasters are generally cheaper than 2-slice toasters. Despite the variety of its functions, it remains 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 space on the kitchen table than smaller ones. And if the table is already full of household appliances, this definitely matters.
That said, 4-slice toasters really do have more pros than cons, but the final decision is up to you.
