2 slice toaster recommendation

Hi, pretty boring I know, but any recommendations for a 2 slice toaster which gives decent browning control. I used to have which account and rely on their best buy but I stopped it last month so was hoping if someone can help..

    This is the one that I have - far better than more expensive toasters (I sent two back because they were rubbish). The browning is even and it accepts normal size slices, whereas most others leave part of the slice sticking out of the top. https://direct.asda.com/george/home-garden/kettles-toasters/2-slice-toaster-with-long-slots/001595893,default,pd.html?cgid=D26M10G10C06

    Which? has 103 Best Buy toasters (71% to 88%, £11-£155)! They have tested 269 toasters apparently.

    If you supply your price range, or colour choices, or anything else that would narrow the field I can post a few possible options. :) Hopefully something will click with MSE's recommendations.

    I have one of these Russel Hobbs for about 3 years.

    About £22 but what I like is the "lift and look" facility that enables you to check the toast without ejecting it and starting again.

    My Dualit Architect is the best toaster I've ever had.

    I have the same and it really is quite a decent toaster.

    I bought a toaster, it doesn't even take the taller slices, if I buy the 'wrong' bread I have to cut the crust off to fit it in.

    If you know of a service in a similar vein to Which? I am all ears. :)

    One hundred and three Best Buy toasters but a dearth of Best Buy refrigerators and freezers to fit my kitchen. 86 fridges and 33 freezers scored 0% on safety grounds, grumble grumble.

    Various relatives have used Which? on and off for years/ decades to shortlist, as a leg up. The internet is a big place ... that many don't have the [add list of prerequisites] to search endlessly, or to handle that information.

    Thank you for the offer. I am looking for a 2 slice black toaster which can take all breads. Price wise I can go up to about £50. I had a look at few dulait ones but they seem quite bulky and I was trying to save some worktop space in our small kitchen... Ta
