Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This toaster is probably the best toaster that can be bought for the home. It is even motorized, believe it or not. This motorized operation is quite and works perfectly. It has all the handy features from bagel setting, frozen, momentary raise to see progress, a "little bit more" button, and an led progress indicator to show when toast will be ready. The controls are all backlighted. But the most important aspect is all of these features is that they work and work really well. Instead of an annoying bang raising the toast, it has a comfortable tone to tell you it's done. Even the tone can be adjusted or even turned off. It is solid, heavy and well built. But the best - the toasting is consistent from cycle to cycle. The toast surface is uniformly toasted without the dark and light spots from an ordinary toaster. It came well packaged - the toaster box was inside another box and that box was inside yet another box - all done at the factory. I think the packaging reflects the company's dedication to all aspects of quality. For the ladies, it is handsome. You will be proud to display it on your countertop. Yes, it is expensive for a toaster but when used every day you may indeed want to invest in quality. I don't own any other Breville product but when I need another appliance and a Breville model is available, that will be my choice.
