Best Novelty Toasters

I find that having a fun novelty toaster in my kitchen is the perfect way to get the family into a good mood. Setting the scene for the day can be done with positive thoughts, yoga, exercise, or believe it or not – a fun novelty toaster.

Make the family smile when you serve up toast with an imprint of Batman or the image of Darth Vader, the Dark Lord of Star Wars. These toasters are cool and trendy and also make great gifts for those friends who have everything.

My reviews below focus on some of the really cool toasters that are out there. You probably already have a toaster, but why not mix things up a bit and bring some fun into breakfast. You can always use your boring toaster during the week and bring out your Batman toaster on weekends or during school holidays.

DASH Clear View Toaster: Extra Wide Slot Toaster with See Through Window

Toaster with See Through Window

Although I have this appliance under ‘Novelty’, it is in fact, a fabulous toaster that you can use every day. The fun design offers a clear window so you can see your toast as it becomes more toasty. This is ideal for toast fanatics who want 100% perfection.

The DASH Clear View Toaster can hold 2 slices of bread. What I love is that the slot is designed as one long slot, making it perfect for homemade breads and artisan breads. The slot is extra-wide, so it can hold bagels, muffins, Toaster Strudels, waffles, or Texas Toast. There are preset functions for defrost, reheat, and bagel. Toasting settings range from 1 being barely toasted to 7 which is frazzled, if you like it that way.

A clear window does come with some additional cleaning issues. Like any window in your home, you will need to clean it from time to time to ensure that you can see through it. The glass pane slides out easily. Just wipe it with a damp cloth and replace it. The DASH Clear View Toaster has a sleek design and takes up minimal countertop space. It is also available in trendy colors like Aqua, Red, and Yellow. Keep this on your list for those engagement and wedding occasions when you have no idea what to buy for the happy couple.

A Quick Look

  • 2 slice toaster with a long slot
  • Clear view glass window
  • Extra-wide slots for toasting bagels
  • 7 browning settings

Hello Kitty Toaster

hello kitty toaster

If you have little girls in your family, I am sure you have done the Hello Kitty shopping spree – bedsheets, cushions, wall hangings, mobiles, mugs, and T-shirts! My granddaughters just cannot get enough of Hello Kitty. So, it was a no-brainer to add this adorable Hello Kitty Toaster to the mix.

On the front is a fun Hello Kitty design, complete with her little pink bow and loads of extra bows. Adding to the design are matching pink knobs and an outer coating in a glorious pink color.

It has 2 slots, ideal for making toast for breakfast. But, the idea is to make toast with an imprint of Hello Kitty on it. I am always a bit sceptical as to whether these novelty toasters really do work, but this one does make a pretty good image of Hello Kitty on the toast. My youngest granddaughter was instantly sold and proceeded to eat Hello Kitty toast and cheese, something she refuses to do when it is served on normal toast.

The toaster also offers a reheat, defrost and quick stop functions and adjustable browning levels so you can see Hello Kitty on a variety of different toned backdrops.

If you have little boys, you may find that they are not impressed! Take a look at this fun Baby Yoda Toaster or Mickey Mouse Toaster! Problem is, how many toasters can you actually have on your kitchen counter?

PS – Don’t let little ones use the toaster. They can watch but never touch.

A Quick Look

  • Adorable Hello Kitty toaster
  • Hello Kitty image on the outside
  • Glorious pink color
  • Toasts the Hello Kitty image onto your bread
  • 2 slice toaster
  • Quick Stop function
  • Adjustable browning settings

Toaster 2 Slice, CUSIMAX Toaster Long Slot with Glass Window Bagel Toasters

2 Slice Toaster with Glass Window

The CUSIMAX Toaster Long Slot also offers a glass viewing window. This model is more expensive than the DASH Clear View Toaster. If you are really sold on watching your toast brown, you should probably go for this model.

What I like is that it has no plastic parts, so you won’t have to wait for days for the plastic smell to dissipate. The glass panels are made of tempered glass which is almost unbreakable. This model also has a neat function called ‘Start’. No more manually pressing down a lever to get your toasting started. Just press Start and the bread drops down for you.

The CUSIMAX Toaster Long Slot Toaster can hold 2 slices of bread. The slot is one long slot, making it ideal for homemade breads and artisan breads. The slot is extra-wide at 1.5 inches, so it can hold bagels, muffins, Toaster Strudels, or waffles. You also have defrost, bagel, and cancel functions. Shade settings range from 1 to 6 for your perfect shade of brown. Cleaning stainless steel is easy and this toaster will always look new and shiny. The toaster has a handy crumb tray and a slot to wind away the wire when you are done.

This is another great gift for those Save-the-Date occasions when you have run out of ideas.

A Quick Look

  • 2 slice toaster with a long slot
  • Clear view glass window made of food-grade tempered glass
  • Extra-wide slots for toasting bagels
  • 6 browning settings

Being a Granny, I am always looking for fun things to do with my grandkids. Having breakfast with me was never really a fun activity in their eyes. Until … I discovered this amazing DC Batman 2-Slice Toaster. Now, they don’t want to eat ordinary toast at home.

This novelty toaster is your ultimate start-the-day-as-a-hero device. On the outside is the iconic Batman symbol. That was enough to convince my grandkids! BUT, when they saw that the toast also popped out with the Batman Symbol, well … seeing is believing.

Unlike Batman, this is actually a real toaster that can hold 2 slices of bread. The browning control is as capable as Batman and ranges from 1, light, to 5, dark and toasty. There is a cancel function in case Batman does show up at your door and you need to rush off to greet him.

The slots are wide and have self-centering guides for toasting the perfect Batman image on your bread. The outside is cool to the touch and won’t burn little people who are eagerly waiting for Batman toast to pop out. When the toast is ready, you can use the high-rise toast lift for added drama. This toaster is the perfect way to set the scene for your little heroes to have an adventurous day.

PS – Don’t let little ones use the toaster. They can watch but never touch.

A toaster is a toaster, so push down your bread and wait for it to pop up! With this trendy toaster, you may wait forever – the toast doesn’t pop up, it slides out at the bottom, hot and ready for your knife and butter. How cool is this? Anyone looking for a toaster with a difference will love this design.

The West Bend Toaster 2 Slice holds 2 slices of bread and toasts in 90 seconds or less. The toast is delivered by sliding out onto a tray that opens up at the base of the toaster. It has 7 browning settings and a handy cancel function. Wide slots allow you to toast bagels, muffins, croissants, and artisan breads. The bagel setting will toast on one side only.

This novelty toaster has a unique Gluten-free setting that I have not seen on any other device. The setting toasts longer and at a lower power, which gives better results for gluten-free breads. The serving tray won’t get in your way when you are not using the toaster. It folds up when not in use. The tray can also be detached and washed in a dishwasher.

With a sleek, slim design and a cool touch exterior, the West Bend Toaster 2 Slice makes a great gift for a newly engaged couple or a new homeowner.
