Hamilton Beach Extra-Wide Slot Toaster

The first compact travel toaster we are going to look at is the Hamilton Beach Extra-Wide Slot Toaster and it’s the perfect option if you’re looking for something affordable and super portable.

This compact travel toaster is pretty basic but it gets the job done every time, so you can rely on it not to burn anything while you’re getting ready and the toaster is making your morning meal.

It comes with space for two slices and the slots are extra wide so you can toast thick-cut bread and even bagels too.

It’s not particularly featured filled and only comes with temperature control and a cancel button, but once you find your perfect browning setting, the auto shut off does the rest for you so you can get ready for your day.

In terms of portability, it’s pretty awesome with small dimensions of just 11.2 x 6.3 x 7.1 inches and it weighs a mere 2.68 lbs so you can carry it anywhere and fit it in a bag with ease.

You’ll also find a handy storage area for the power cord so it’s not getting tangled up with anything else while you’re traveling.

The Tognutel Toaster 2 Slice is made with a lovely brushed stainless steel shell and is by far one of the best-looking compact travel toasters featured in the article.

It also features wide slots for thick-cut bread and bagels plus a temperature control and 4 different toasting modes. The toasting modes include normal, reheat, defrost, and bagel mode which only toasts one side for the perfect morning bagel.

To top it all off, this compact travel toaster is light and small making it very portable and it has a cord storage area too. The cord is tricky to wrap up properly but you’ll get there with practice.

Overall it’s an awesome compact travel toaster that is reliable and has all the functions you could want.

iSiLER 2 Slice Toaster

The iSiLER 2 Slice Toaster is another awesome compact travel toaster and it comes in a funky yellow color which I kind of love as it adds a bit of brightness to your morning.

The best thing about this compact travel toaster is how small and light it is which makes taking from A to B about as easy as possible. With dimensions of 5.3 x 9.4 x 7 inches and weighing just 2.46 lbs, it’s by far one of the most portable travel toasters on the market.

The toaster features two extra-wide slots that are perfectly designed to accommodate muffins, waffles, thick-cut bread, and bagels too meaning you can toast up whatever you’re in the mood for in the morning.

It also features 7 browning modes and 3 different functions including reheat, defrost, and normal and once you get to know your favorite settings, you have the perfect toast every time.

Under the toaster, you’ll find a crumb slot which makes cleaning out the toaster easier before traveling and the power cord has a handy storage area too. Some people find a power cord a bit stiff but that’s not such a big issue.

Overall this is an excellent compact travel toaster that is super portable, durable, and reliable.

BLACK & DECKER 2-Slice Toaster

The BLACK & DECKER 2-Slice Toaster is another compact travel toaster worth considering if you’re on a budget and looking for something super lightweight.

This travel toaster weighs just over 2.5lbs and its tiny dimensions of  5 x 6.1 x 9.5 inches mean it’s super portable and easy to pack when you’re going away. Plus it has a cord storage area on the base to make traveling with it even more convenient.

The toaster comes with two extra-wide slots that are perfect for bagels, muffins, waffles, and lovely thick-cut bread too.

You’ll also find the toaster has three functions including bagel, defrost, and normal toast plus evening different temperatures so you can find the ideal browning setting for you.

The main issue with this travel toaster is that there is no indicator light or anything that tells you which mode you have selected or if you pressed a button by accident.

Also when the toast is done, it doesn’t rise above the slots and you’ll need two hands to guide it out, which is more than annoying.

Overall, it’s a light, portable toaster that gets the job done but its lack of easy functionally makes it a contender for second place in my eyes.

Amazon Basics 2 Slice Extra-Wide Slot Toaster

The Amazon Basics 2 Slice Extra-Wide Slot Toaster is another solid bet for a compact travel toaster that is also very affordable if you’re on a budget and it looks quite good too.

This travel toast is super lightweight to carry at just over 2lbs in weight but its dimensions are quite bulky compared to some others so packing it might be a little trickier.

It comes with 2 wide slots for thick slices, bagels, and more. You’ll find it has three functions which engage at the push of a button and then show a LED light to indicate which one is on.

You can choose between bagel, frozen, and normal toasting modes plus there are 6 browning levels to tinker with too. Once done, your toast will pop up and it’s easily removable from the slots too.

One complaint is that it doesn’t toaster perfectly evenly on each side and when you first use it, it gives off a chemical smell. Best to turn it on in the garage without anything inside a few times until the smell is gone.

Overall it’s a solid compact travel toaster that’s affordable and reliable but it’s not quite as good as some others featured.

Bonsenkitchen 2-Slice Retro Toaster

The Bonsenkitchen 2-Slice Retro Toaster is one of the best-looking travel toasters featured in the article in my opinion and it does a pretty good job of toasting too.

From a portability perspective, this travel toaster is light weighing just under 3lbs but it’s a bit bulky so bear that in mind when you think about packing it for a weekend away.

It comes with extra-wide slots that hold thick-cut bread, bagels, waffles, and muffins with ease, so you can toast whatever you feel like in the morning.

You have 3 modes to choose from including normal toast, defrost, and reheat which are kit up with LEDs when engaged plus seven browning levels to make your perfect piece of toast in the morning.

The auto-shutoff works well and when done the toast rises above the toaster for easy removal.

The one main issue with this travel toaster is that it’s quite expensive compared to the others but you do get a 1 year 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and you pay a bit extra for the stainless steel finish.

West Bend 77224 2 Slice Toaster

If you’re looking for a compact travel toaster that toasts gluten-free bread to perfection, then the West Bend 77224 2 Slice Toaster is an awesome option plus it’s about as hassle-free as a toaster gets.

This travel toaster comes with one extra-wide slot that fits two pieces of bread or bagels with ease but this makes it long and narrow instead of being wide and square-shaped, which might make packing difficult.

It’s designed to make perfect toast quickly and it does the job well rapidly toasting bread to your ideal setting within 90 seconds or less which is pretty awesome.

You’ll find a bagel setting and a gluten-free setting which toasts long and slow to make gluten-free bread more delicious than ever. There are also 7 browning settings to choose from so you can find the perfect toasting level for you.

Once your toast is done, the toast slides out the bottom onto a tray so you’ll never have to try and pull it out the top ever again.
