Our take on the Hamilton Beach Contemporary 2 Slice Toaster

The Hamilton Beach Contemporary is a compact two-slice toaster with extra-wide slots, seven browning levels, and a bagel setting that toasts one side longer. A Toast Boost lever lifts smaller items like English muffins higher for safe removal, and the slide-out crumb tray and cord wrap keep cleanup and storage simple. It suits small kitchens and casual toast eaters who want basic controls without paying for a four-slot or long-slot machine. Reviewers like the even browning and easy cleanup, but some find the plastic housing and light build less sturdy than all-metal rivals.

Questions and answers

Does it fit bagels and thick bread?
Yes. The slots are extra-wide, so bagels, English muffins, and thick artisan slices fit without forcing. The bagel setting toasts the cut side longer.
How many browning settings does it have?
Seven. The dial runs from light to dark, and the cancel button stops a cycle mid-toast.
Is there a defrost setting?
No dedicated defrost button. The presets cover toast, bagel, bread, and gluten-free, so frozen bread needs a longer manual setting.
How do you clean it?
Pull out the slide-out crumb tray and empty it. The exterior wipes clean with a damp cloth; never immerse the toaster in water.
How big is it on the counter?
It is a compact two-slice unit roughly 6.5 inches wide and 7 to 8 inches tall, so it fits under most upper cabinets.
Does it shut off automatically?
Yes. The toaster has automatic shut-off and a cancel button to end a cycle early.
