The Red Toaster

When you need a new toaster, you generally don’t have that many color choices.  White, black, and silver are very easy to find, but looking for a different color can be quite a challenge.  Fortunately, there are a few good toaster choices that come in the color red.  Here are some of the top red toasters that are available today.

The 2 slice Red Toaster

These are your basic drop-in-the-bread toasters, and there are a few companies that produce these small appliances.  The first one we’ll look at is a red Kitchenaid toaster.  Kitchenaid actually makes the same toaster in 4 different colors, which includes red.  It has a warm function for when you want to defrost a frozen bagel or slice of bread.  It is also extra wide, so it can handle even the thickest bagels.
The Oster red toaster is a fine example of toaster craftsmanship.  While other models seem to only give you the compulsory basic features, the Oster 6307 Inspire offers a lot more.  It has red LED display lights, 5 buttons for different uses:  frozen, bagel, warm, toast, and cancel.  The folks at Oster are even nice enough to toss in a free cookbook!  For $34, it seems like a good buy.  Oster also makes a cheap red toaster under the Sunbeam name that costs only $17.99.
If you are looking for an appliance fit for the most discerning toast connoisseur, take a look at the Dualit red toaster.  Dualit is a company known for its craftsmanship and style, and their red toaster holds up to these high standards.  It is actually quite simple in design, and features a contrasting red and stainless steel exterior.  In addition, Dualit is known for its classic retro red toaster design.
If you are looking for a red 4 slice toaster, a few appliance makers churn out these as well. A great choice is the red Kitchen Aid toaster.  They make a high-quality model that has an all-metal exterior with red sides and stainless steel center.

Red Toaster Ovens

Toasters and toaster ovens are two entirely different beasts.  While toasters are quick and fast for simple bread-browning, toaster ovens can accomplish a number of other tasks that a drop-in toaster can only dream of.  Oster makes a great red toaster oven.  This 6 slice toaster oven is big enough to fit a 12 inch pizza inside, which makes it great for heating up leftovers.  While some toaster ovens only have a on/off switch, the Oster 6295 has full temperature control that lets you adjust the time and heat, depending on what you are heating.
