Breville - Smart Toaster 4-Slice Wide-Slot Toaster - Steel

I’ll start off by saying this is the best toaster I have ever owned! After 4 months of use I can say everything comes out evenly cooked every time. The stainless steel matches my Samsung appliances perfect. You may notice that they is no manual levelers like you normally would find. Don’t worry they thought of everything. The lift and look feature is genius. Unlike traditional toasters you don’t have to cancel the cycle to see if it is just right. When your toast is done but you want it a little darker just push the “bit more” button. You also have left and right controls so you can use both sides on different settings. I created a video review of this toaster but I cant post it here. If you want to see this toaster in action search YouTube for ”The Best 4 Slice Toaster - Toast Has Never Tasted So Good!”

We purchased a Breville Smart Toaster, model BTA840XL/A, that has 4 wide slots and each slot has a motorized carriage to lower and raise the bread. We bought this model because our daughter has owned this same toaster for 5 years and it has consistently provided her family excellent toast. With the wider slots it easily accepts bagels and thicker sliced artisan breads. The eveness of toasting is excellent. Dual controls for the four slots allows excellent control for how light or well done you like your toast. It also has controls for Lift and Look to check browning; A Bit More to add a little more toasting; and controls that adjust toasting elements for bagels or frozen pastry. There are also lights that indicate when the toast will be done. We have had the toaster for several weeks and it is excellent at toasting a variety of breads and 4 slices can be done at the same time. We are quite satisfied with this toaster.

Toast bread or bagels even if frozen. Let’s you raise the bread to check for desired toast level and lower it to continue toasting from your chosen starting point. You can press the “a bit more” botton and it will do just that. You choose the toasting level via light indicators. Has a motorized toast elevator for a quiet operation. Two bread crumb trays for easy cleaning.

I purchased this toaster because it was highly rated on consumer reports and let me tell you, it is a great toaster. Sure you could get the same results with a cheaper toaster but it doesn't have the "Lift and Look" option! If you're willing to spend the extra money, go for it. It's a great toaster!

I was skeptical about this because of the price. After reading the reviews, I decided to try it. I’m really happy with it so far. It does a great job. I have 3 kids and had it for 3 weeks. It perfectly toasted my bagels, bread and now waffles. It’s high tech. I would buy it again as long as it lasts.

I purchased this toaster specifically because it does not have any handles or levers that can easily be broken off. I live in a typical family with 4 kids! Not me! Is constantly visiting! This is a very sturdy appliance! Makes great toast consistently and bagels too! If you are not sure you can use the "bit more" function! Our family loves it!

This is the best toaster I ever bought. My wife likes her toast very lightly toasted and I like mine well done. Now we can have it the way we like without constantly checking it And the "little bit more" function is great if the bread isn't quite done to my liking The toast is perfectly done every time. The toaster is a little expensive but in MHO it is worth it.

This is completely worth the price. If you have 2 people in your family you can each set your side to the level of browning you prefer. Additionally you can lift and look or add a bit more time. It’s easy to clean and each side has a setting just for bagels. We use it every day at least once but usually twice and never had a single problem.
