Tyyaefy’s retro toaster is a visual standout. Its matte black finish and clean curves look great on a countertop. The high-definition touchscreen is the main event, replacing clunky dials and levers with a simple, modern interface. It feels more like operating a smartphone than a kitchen appliance.

Performance is straightforward. The 1.5-inch wide slots easily handle thick artisanal bread, bagels, and even frozen waffles. Six browning levels give you precise control, from a light crisp to a deep char. The dedicated modes for bagels, muffins, and reheating are genuinely useful, automatically adjusting the heating elements and timer. At 825 watts, it toasts efficiently without being a power hog.

The memory function is a small but thoughtful touch, defaulting to your last used setting. While the touchscreen requires a deliberate press, it wipes clean with a cloth. This toaster delivers consistent results wrapped in a design that doesn’t look out of place next to your coffee grinder.
