Vintage Sunbeam T-20B Radiant Control Toaster – 1952–1957, 1275W, Tested
This vintage Sunbeam Model T-20B Radiant Control toaster, produced between 1952 and 1957, is a mid-century icon of both design and innovation. Featuring a polished chrome exterior with clean Art Deco lines, it was among the first toasters to offer fully automatic operation—lowering and raising bread without the need for a manual lever.
The T-20B model improved upon earlier designs with a refined internal mechanism, delivering quicker and smoother toasting. Its patented radiant control technology senses the surface temperature of the bread, allowing for even browning regardless of initial bread temperature. A hallmark of American engineering, it blends function and form in a timeless silhouette.
