WHALL Touchscreen Toaster, 2-Slice

The 1.5-inch extra-wide slots are the standout feature here: they give thicker bread and bagels more room than a narrow-slot toaster. The WHALL also replaces a traditional row of controls with a full touchscreen, letting you choose bread type, shade, and functions from the front panel.

It’s a two-slice toaster with six shade settings and modes for bagels, gluten-free bread, waffles, and pastries. That range is useful for a household that rotates between different breakfast foods, though the controls may be more involved than you want if you simply prefer a basic dial and lever.

Key specifications

The silver body is stainless steel, and the listed dimensions are 10 inches deep, 6.2 inches wide, and 7.5 inches high. Six bread-type options and six shade settings offer more ways to tailor a toast cycle than a toaster with only a darkness dial. The bagel mode is designed to toast one side, using only the outer heating element, it is not a setting for browning both sides evenly.

Reheat runs for 30 seconds, while defrost is intended for bread taken from the freezer. There’s also a mute option for the button sounds and a standby mode, so the toaster can stay idle without being unplugged. A removable crumb tray slides out from the back for cleanup, and clips and a cord groove underneath help manage the power cord when it’s stored.

The slot width is stated, but maximum bread thickness is not, so unusually tall homemade slices remain a question without that measurement. The compact dimensions may help it fit in a corner, but the listing doesn’t give a weight or describe how much counter space is needed around it.

Who it’s for

A solid pick if you make different kinds of toast and want settings for more than standard sliced bread. For example, you could select the bagel mode for a split bagel, then use reheat for a piece that has gone cool while breakfast is being served. The wider slots also make sense for thicker slices that can feel cramped in a narrower toaster.

Compared with a simpler toaster that relies on a lever and shade dial, this model adds touchscreen controls and preset food modes. That can be useful if you’ll actually use the options. Not the best choice if you want the fewest possible controls, need to toast more than two slices at once, or regularly use bread too thick for an unspecified slot limit.

Everyday use

For a small kitchen, the footprint and underbody cord storage offer practical ways to keep the counter tidier between breakfasts. The crumb tray is removable, so you can pull it out after the toaster cools and clear away crumbs rather than trying to reach inside. The standby feature may suit someone who prefers leaving an appliance plugged in, while the mute setting gives you a way to silence its button sounds.

One tradeoff is that the feature set depends on a touchscreen and presets. If you want direct, tactile controls or a more straightforward appliance, a basic two-slice toaster may be a better fit. The WHALL makes more sense when its extra modes and wider slots solve a regular kitchen task, not just because they’re available.

Questions before you buy

Does the bagel setting toast both sides? No. The product description says the mode activates only the outer heating element, so it is designed for single-side toasting.

Can it handle frozen bread? It has a defrost mode for bread taken from the freezer. The description doesn’t specify a cycle time for that mode.

How much does the reheat function run? Reheat is listed as a 30-second function. The description doesn’t give further details about adjusting that duration.

Is it worth it?

Choose this toaster if you want a two-slice model with touchscreen selection, wide slots, and dedicated modes for foods such as bagels and gluten-free bread. Its removable crumb tray and cord storage add everyday convenience, too. Skip it if your priority is a very simple control layout, greater slice capacity, or a confirmed maximum slot thickness, those needs matter more than the extra presets.
