Not the toaster you grew up with.

By rico [pgh] from Pittsburgh PA on 01/16/2010.

Best Uses:	Kitchen
Pros:	Lots of Room, Excellent Heating, Even Heating, Precise Controls
Primary use:	Personal

This toaster has some interesting features. For one, it has a red LED that is on whenever the toaster is plugged in; if you want that LED to go out, use a power strip with a switch on it, or unplug the toaster after each use--a slight nuisance (LEDs use very little power, so the cost is probably miniscule). The toaster also has a bright LED panel that allows you to choose (by number, on an LED read-out) what setting you would like to use; thus, accurate settings are exactly repeatable. The bright panel also has a circular 'progress' bar so you can see how much time is left before the toast will be ready. (That 'bright panel' is really bright--you can light up a dark room just by using the toaster!) When the toast pops up, there is a soft chime to tell you it's ready; but the 'chunk' of the toast popping up is louder than the chime! So that 'feature' is a bit amusing. There is an ugly factory industrial smell for the first few uses of the toaster; it goes away after that. I use the toaster mostly for home-made bread, and it works nicely with non-standard slices of bread. I have not used the 'bagel' function yet, but it looks like a handy feature to have (warms the outside of the bagel, toasts only the inner or cut side). I did a lot of research before buying this particular toaster, and although I don't have any other one to compare it to, I'm glad I bought it, and I'm happy with it so far.

Great toaster with just enough features

Describe Yourself:	Casual Cook
Pros:	Easy To Clean, Even Heating, Excellent Heating, Precise Controls, Lots of Room
Best Uses:	Kitchen
Primary use:	Personal

This toaster has all the features I've been looking for: fast, even toasting; a way to lift the bread to check progress without stopping the cycle; beautiful and simple design; a bagel setting that works. You can pay twice as much for Breville's fancier toaster with motorized lift, but who needs it when this one does it nicely and has fewer electronic mechanisms to break down?

My Research Paid Off

Primary use:	Personal

I spent DAYS trying to research toasters to replace a small school bus (old toaster oven) my wife couldn't part with. Reading every review, report, comparison, and test ever published, I decided on the Breville Ikon 2 Slice Electronic Toaster. When it arrived, I literally stood in front of it with a bag of bread, testing every setting and control option. To say I am pleasantly pleased is an understatement. This toaster works better than advertised, and looks great doing it! We've FINALLY entered the 21st century! What happened to the school bus? It's permanently parked in the basement.

This toaster is not only beautiful, it performs flawlessly. I'm someone who does not like any kind of clutter on my kitchen countertops but this looks like a piece of art. I highly recommend it.

Great toaster

By RedSatinDress from NJ on 11/13/2009.

Describe Yourself:	Avid Cook
Best Uses:	Kitchen
Primary use:	Personal
Pros:	Precise Controls, Even Heating, Easy To Clean
Cons:	Too small

I always bought Cuisinart toasters since they were guaranteed for three years and always broke before then (I live near a repackaging facility where it's easy to replace them). Anyway, Cuisine stopped making the style I liked so I thought I'd try the Breville since I have their electric kettle & like it a lot. The only downside to the toaster is that you first have to set it defrost then use a separate cycle to toast a frozen bagel. It toasts much more evenly & nicely than any other toaster I've owned.

Perfect Toast finally!

makes toasting a pleasure

Love my toaster would buy it again.

Describe Yourself:	Casual Cook
Cons:	Doesn't Heat Evenly
Best Uses:	Dorm Room, Kitchen, Breakroom
Pros:	Excellent Heating, Easy To Clean, Precise Controls, Lots of Room
Primary use:	Personal

I expected perfection from Breville and almost got it. Toast is not quite as cooked on inside as outside. Not a big deal. I use bagel setting and that adjusts just fine. Like the fact you an lift up side to see toasting without disrupting cycle. Love the led timer, and digital readout on how dark to toast. Breville makes great products. Their blender is great. SO is expresso machine.

Think twice before buying

By DXR Flyer from Connecticut on 10/6/2009.

Describe Yourself:	Avid Cook
Cons:	Doesn't Heat Evenly, Does not toast evenly, Does not toast both sides
Best Uses:	Kitchen
Primary use:	Personal

This is a top rated toaster but while it looks good, performance is lacking. The top part of the bread comes out brown but the bottom does not. Neither does it toast both sides of the bread to the same donness. Think twice before buying.

Solid toaster

By Pepper from Taxachusetts on 08/7/2009.

Describe Yourself:	Avid Cook
Pros:	Excellent Heating, Bagel Feature, Precise Controls, Even Heating, Versatile
Best Uses:	Kitchen
Primary use:	Personal

Nice toaster overall. Like the bagel feature that toasts on one side and warms on the other--no more hard bagels-yeah! Stainless steel a pain to keep clean, but it looks good and works well. Let's see if it lasts. So far, pleased with it.

Great Toaster!

Great Toast!

By Hell on Three Wheels from Roosevelt, NJ on 07/24/2009.

Describe Yourself:	Avid Cook
Pros:	Even Heating, Precise Controls, Excellent Heating, Easy To Clean
Primary use:	Personal

We use a toaster several times a day so they don't usually last us, which is why we've always bought Cuisinart toasters that come with a 3 year warranty. Cuisinart always wound up giving us a new toaster before the 3 years was up. Anyway, now that I can't get the 2-slice long-slot toaster I prefer I thought I'd try Breville since I have their electric kettle, which I like a lot. The Breville toaster puts Cuisinart's to shame in terms of beautiful, even toasting ability and it's really nice looking, too even though I'm the only person on the planet apparently who doesn't particularly like the look of stainless. Note, however, that in order to toast a frozen bagel it takes two passes - one to defrost it and then a second cycle set to "Bagel" to toast it (the buttons are either/or, not both at the same time). Despite the bit of extra fuss, the bagels come out perfect.

Questioned if I would use the various settings on this toaster...AND I DO. It's great to have the multiple options. Each performs as intended. I highly recommend any Breville product to anyone that enjoys cooking. They are high quality products that look great too.

Best Among Many

Describe Yourself:	Avid Cook
Best Uses:	Kitchen
Pros:	Lots of Room, Versatile, Excellent Heating, Easy To Clean, Precise Controls, Even Heating
Primary use:	Personal

I use the Breville Ikon toaster each day with confidence that my toast, whether bagel, English muffin, or whole wheat bread, will come out perfectly. I can always get butter to melt nicely into the toast because of the toaster's alarm that rings when toast is ready. The Breville stainless steel & black looks great with my other kitchen decor. I've had 3 toasters of other brands that failed me. They either broke down after 3 mos,toasted unevenly, or did not pop up! I highly recommend the Breville.

Describe Yourself:	Casual Cook
Best Uses:	Kitchen
Primary use:	Personal
Pros:	Precise Controls, Lots of Room
Cons:	Some problem even toastin

Made in China; prefer to support U.S.A. Toasts side of bread closest to the center partition somewhat darker -- not a big issue, but the manufacturer should improve this. Very convenient and informative controls. Good appearance and materials. Clean-out tray works well, but still need to shake the toaster out over the sink.

Good toaster

By Cocoabean from Novato, CA on 12/17/2007.

Describe Yourself:	Health Conscious
Best Uses:	Kitchen
Pros:	Lots of Room, Easy To Clean
Primary use:	Personal

I use this toaster everyday. The only minor problem I have noticed so far is that the toast becomes lighter on the second (immediately after the first) toasting of bread when using the same setting as the first toasting. So I am continually changing the setting to darker...then back to starting at "light" the next morning.

5 stars - perfect

Pros:	Excellent Heating, Precise Controls, Lots of Room, Even Heating, Easy To Clean
Best Uses:	Kitchen
Cons:	None yet
Primary use:	Personal

Really did not expect toaster to live up to its ratings, but it did. The toast comes out so even you can not even see the pattern of the heating elements. The lift feature without shutting off the unit is great, specially to help learn what settings to use. The count down indicator is also very handy. Would definitely not only recommend it to a friend, but would buy this toaster as a gift.

After owning a Breville electric kettle for several years, this product seemed the natural replacement when we needed a new toaster. You can't get a free toaster for opening a bank account any longer so we were forced to purchase this one. Compared to "other" toasters, this one does the same thing but from our prior Breville experience felt the quality would be worth the price. No disappointments yet. [...]
