Toasters and sandwich makers cover the morning kitchen essentials — from basic 2-slice toasters for studios to 4-slice models for families and dedicated sandwich press machines. Our range covers 2-slice toasters, 4-slice toasters, long-slot toasters for sourdough and Turkish bread, retro-style toasters, sandwich press makers, and combination toaster-sandwich units. Over 50 toasters in stock across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses, from $30 entry-level 2-slice toasters to $200 premium 4-slice retro-style units. Most orders dispatch within 1–2 business days.
What toaster size do I need?
Match slot count to household size. A 2-slice toaster handles 1–2 people — enough for the morning rush. A 4-slice toaster handles families of 3–4, or anyone who wants to toast bread plus a crumpet or muffin simultaneously. Long-slot toasters (2 or 4 slots, longer than standard) suit households eating sourdough loaves, Turkish bread, or pide — the longer slot accepts artisan bread shapes that don't fit standard slots. Wide-slot toasters (5cm+) accept thicker artisan breads, bagels and crumpets without crushing. The mistake most buyers make is going small — the 2-slice toaster bottlenecks the breakfast rush for families. A 4-slice toaster costs only $20–40 more and runs at the same energy cost per slice.

Are sandwich makers worth buying?
For households that eat toasted sandwiches more than twice a week, yes. A dedicated sandwich maker (or contact-grill sandwich press) cooks toasted sandwiches in 3–5 minutes with sealed edges that keep fillings inside — better results than a toaster or grill pan for jaffles and pressed sandwiches. The Breville Sandwich Maker style with triangular sealed plates is the Australian standard. Combination units (toaster + sandwich press in one) save bench space but compromise on both functions — the sandwich plates are smaller and the toaster slots usually shallower. For dedicated breakfast users, a separate 4-slice toaster plus a small sandwich press is the practical setup for around $120–250 total — each function done properly.

How much do toasters cost in Australia?
Toasters at Simple Deals start from $30 for basic 2-slice models. Most family-sized 4-slice toasters and sandwich makers sit between $60 and $150, with retro-style and premium models running higher. All toasters dispatch within 1–2 business days from our Australian warehouses.
What most appliance stores won't admit
Almost every toaster sold online in Australia is made in China — including ours. Even premium brand-name toasters (Sunbeam, Breville, Smeg, Russell Hobbs) are manufactured in China and shipped to Australia. The real difference is not where the toaster is made, it's what happens after it lands in Australia. Marketplaces dropship straight from overseas containers, which is why "fast delivery" stretches into six weeks. We import in bulk, hold stock across our Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane warehouses, and ship from there.
The other thing nobody mentions: toasters are one of the shortest-lived kitchen appliances. Even premium $200 toasters typically last 4–7 years before the heating elements fail or the lift mechanism wears out — vs 10–15 years for a fridge. The reason is the daily heating-cooling cycle of the elements (the wires expand and contract with every use), which is hard on the mechanical components no matter the price. Buying a $200 premium toaster instead of a $50 unit gets you slightly more even browning and better styling, not significantly longer life. Spending more than $150 on a toaster usually buys appearance, not durability.
Frequently asked questions
What if my toaster arrives damaged?
Contact us within 7 days with photos. We will arrange a replacement or refund under the 12-month warranty. Transit damage is uncommon with packaged toasters; check the carriage levers for smooth operation.
Why is my toaster browning unevenly?
Three common causes: (1) bread isn't fresh — dry bread browns faster than fresh; (2) one element is failing — inspect both sides during operation; (3) crumb buildup is blocking heat distribution — empty the crumb tray monthly.
How long does delivery take?
Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane: 3–5 business days. Perth and Adelaide: 5–8 days. Regional and remote areas: 7–14 days.
Can I pay with Afterpay, Zip or PayPal?
Yes, all three. A $150 toaster works out to four payments of $37.50 with Afterpay, four payments of $37.50 with PayPal Pay in 4, or a small monthly amount with Zip. Klarna is also available.
What's the warranty?
12 months on manufacturing defects, plus 15-day returns on unused toasters in original packaging.
Complete the breakfast bar
A toaster covers the bread, and a few pieces round out the morning kitchen. Most households add three at the same time: a kettle for tea and coffee, a coffee machine for espresso, and a blender for smoothies.
