The Mainstays 4-Slice Toaster is a basic black toaster that browns four slices at once, with a 1-6 shade dial, a cancel button and auto-centering guides. It is light at 2.79 lbs and small for a four-slot unit, so it fits tight counters. It suits households that want to toast several slices together without paying for a name brand. Against pricier four-slice toasters it gives up wide slots, bagel and defrost settings and a countdown display, and its slots take slices up to 4 inches long and 0.55 inches thick. Owners rate it well overall, though some find the browning uneven and the slots short for artisan bread.
