I like my toast lightly browned on both sides, but to achieve the doneness I prefer, your toast always comes out nicely browned on one side but burnt on the other. I have had this toaster for over a year now, it was given to me as a Christmas gift. I have not eaten a piece of toast that wasn't burnt since I got it. This toaster has a digital display that goes from 1 to 9, but anything past 2 burns the toast. Other than looking great on my counter, this toaster is not worth the price.
Very nice toaster. Worth the money. I like the way the control is on the front and not the end like on most other models.
Toast bread. Look good on my counter.
I was willing to accept that as I very much liked the design of the product, the dial switch and the led light. The Breville toaster was disapointing from the very first, as the bread wasn't browning evenly on both sides.
Form follows function and this toaster simply wasn't doing what I paid for it to do. But when the dial which calibrates the degree of color for the toast stopped working, I figured it had to go.
At that point there was no way to program it and it would have to be returned. No.
Not asking that much, really.
The first is that it needs a secondary lift to be able to extract small baquette toast. I have used this toaster for about a half-year now to see if it didn't degrade or die after a short time like some reviews that I saw. The second thing that it needs is the ability to use half-step of the numbers. This toaster has performed flawless in all that time and it browns evenly. I only have two minor complaints. It used two steps counts for each number as it counts down, so I think that this should be a "no brainer" for Breville. This is important because, depending on the consistancy of the bread, different brands may toast slightly different.
It toasts bread evenly, and the setting for bagels works nicely, too. Call me impatient. The feature that allows you to peek without interrupting the toasting process is handy as well. I wish toast happened instantly. This toaster does the next best thing -- it has a display that lets you know how much longer you have to wait till the toast pops. I also appreciate the crumb tray, which is easy to remove without spilling crumbs on the counter. All in all, a quality product.
