How to choose
Count slots before slices
Slice counts follow slot counts here: the bella toasts 4 slices in two long slots, while the Elite Gourmet and MUELLER HOME toast 2 slices each. A long slot takes two slices side by side or one thick slice such as a bagel or Texas toast. If you toast for more than two people at once, the 4-slice bella saves a second round.
Browning levels and functions
Browning levels set how dark the toast gets: the MUELLER HOME offers seven, while the bella and Elite Gourmet offer six each. The MUELLER HOME adds Defrost and Reheat functions for frozen or previously toasted bread, and the Elite Gourmet adds a reheat warming function. A cancel function on every pick stops the cycle.
Crumb trays and cord storage
Crumb trays and cord wraps keep the counter tidy. The bella has a removable crumb tray and cord wrap, and the MUELLER HOME pairs a slide-out crumb tray with under-base cord storage. Slide the tray out for cleaning, and wrap the cord when the toaster is put away.
