No. 2 of 10 in our [toasters ranking](https://vettedten.com/us/kitchen/toasters/) · Updated October 2026 · [How we rank](https://vettedten.com/how-we-rank/) **8.7 out of 10** The Proctor Silex 24214PS is a white plastic toaster with four wide slots and one pullout crumb tray. It suits households that want to toast four slices at once on a budget and don't need fancy controls. Why it's here: - Four extra-wide slots fit Texas toast and bagels - Toast Boost lifts English muffins and other small pieces - Seven shades with cancel, a pullout crumb tray and a cord wrap - Three-year limited warranty and auto shutoff if toast jams Keep in mind: - Two separate shade dials, so matching all four slices means setting both - Plastic body feels light and the lever is basic - No bagel or defrost button [Check price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C159T442) ## Why the Proctor Silex 24214PS scores 8.7 - How happy owners are: 2nd of 10 - How many rated it: 5th of 10 - How new it is: 3rd of 10 ### Level with the BLACK+DECKER 2-Slice Toaster with Extra-Wide Slots T2569B The BLACK+DECKER 2-Slice Toaster with Extra-Wide Slots T2569B and the Proctor Silex Wide-Slot 4 Slice Toaster 24214PS score the same, so either is a safe pick. The BLACK+DECKER 2-Slice Toaster with Extra-Wide Slots T2569B goes first because it leaves owners a little happier. ## About the Proctor Silex 24214PS The 24214PS has four extra-wide slots, which the brand says fit thick breads, bagels and Texas toast. It measures 10.5 inches deep, 11 inches wide and 7.5 inches high, and the body is white plastic. Toast Boost is a lift feature that raises smaller pieces, such as English muffins, so you can pull them out without burning your fingers. The shade selector has seven settings, and a cancel button stops a cycle partway through. If a piece of toast jams, the toaster shuts itself off. Cleanup and storage are simple. A crumb tray pulls out from the base, and the cord wraps and stores in the base. There is no dedicated bagel or defrost button, so bagels go in on a normal cycle. The toaster has two separate shade dials, one per pair of slots, and you set both if you want all four slices to match. ### Key specs - Model: 24214PS - Color: White - Capacity: 4 slices - Dimensions (D x W x H): 10.5 x 11.0 x 7.5 in - Shade settings: 7 - Slots: Extra-wide, for thick bread, bagels and Texas toast - Extras: Toast Boost lift, cancel button, pullout crumb tray, cord storage in base - Warranty: Backed by 3 year limited warranty ## What owners report about the Proctor Silex 24214PS We found little owner feedback written about this exact white 24214PS. The brand's own page shows no reviews for it. Retailer pages for the black 4-slice Proctor Silex, a sibling with the same listed features, are the closest match. They are a different model, so we don't report them as findings for this one. ## Who the Proctor Silex 24214PS suits Buy it if you toast for three or four people and want bagels, thick bread and Texas toast to fit. It also suits anyone who wants a basic toaster with a pullout crumb tray and a cancel button, and a three-year limited warranty from the brand. Look elsewhere if you want a metal body or a heavier feel, since this one is plastic with a basic lever. If you want a bagel or defrost button, the BLACK+DECKER 4-Slice Toaster with Extra-Wide Slots TR1478BD has the buttons most families use. If you prefer a separate dial for each pair of slots, the Cuisinart 4-Slice Metal Classic Toaster CPT-180P1 is built that way. For one or two people, a 2-slice such as the BLACK+DECKER 2-Slice Toaster with Extra-Wide Slots T2569B takes less counter space. ## Questions about the Proctor Silex 24214PS ### Does the Proctor Silex 24214PS fit bagels and Texas toast?

Too few review sites cover toasters for their verdicts to lead, so this ranking is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 26 models for this guide before settling on these ten. Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in October 2026.
