SMEG TSF01 vs TSF02 vs TSF03, in short: the TSF01 is the 2-slice toaster for one or two people. The TSF02 toasts four slices in two extra-long slots, which suits families and long artisan loaves. The TSF03 has four separate slots with two independent controls, so two people can toast to different settings at the same time. All three have six browning levels, defrost and reheat.

Which SMEG toaster should I buy?
- Choose the TSF01 if you live alone or as a couple, want the smallest footprint, or want the widest colour choice. It is the only SMEG toaster in matt finishes, Porsche editions and Dolce and Gabbana designs.
- Choose the TSF02 if you toast for a family or buy long sourdough and artisan loaves: each long slot takes two slices side by side.
- Choose the TSF03 if two people toast at once and like different shades: each pair of slots has its own controls.
Is the 4-slice SMEG toaster worth the extra?
The TSF02 costs R1,040 more than a gloss TSF01, and the TSF03 R1,440 more. If you regularly toast more than two slices, yes: you save a second round every morning. If not, the TSF01 does the same job in less counter space.
