Sage the 'A Bit More' Toaster
The best all-round toaster — Lift & Look, a countdown timer and 'A Bit More' button for perfect browning
Key characteristics
Highlights
- ✓ 'A Bit More' button adds a little extra time without restarting
- ✓ Lift & Look raises toast mid-cycle to check without cancelling
- ✓ LED countdown shows time remaining
- ✓ Extra-wide slots and self-centring guides
Our take
Sage's 'A Bit More' is the toaster that just gets it right: the countdown bar tells you exactly how long is left, Lift & Look lets you peek without cancelling, and the 'A Bit More' button nudges pale toast without starting over. It browns evenly and feels solid. It costs more than a basic toaster, but it's the one to buy.
