Breville Die-Cast Silver 2-Slice Smart Toaster, Model BTA820XL

Intelligent one-touch auto lowering toaster

Key Features:

  • Die-cast construction
    Die-cast construction molds molten metals together at intense temperatures. The result is durability and more refined finish.
  • LED countdown
    The LED panel illuminates according to the selected setting on the variable browning control. The display acts as a toasting progress indicator counting down how long is left in the toasting cycle and beeps when the cycle is complete.
  • Intelligent auto controls
    An internal smart chip lowers the bread into the toasting slots with a single touch and also regulates the toasting time. On the “A Bit More™” setting, bread is automatically lowered for additional toasting time.
  • Auto “Lift and Look™”
    This innovative feature automatically raises the bread carriage during toasting without canceling or resetting the cycle. This enables you to view and, if necessary, cancel the browning cycle at anytime.

Features:

  • Motorized lever that gradually lowers the toast and steadily raises the toast when the cycle is complete
  • Innovative "Lift and Look" feature that raises and lowers the toast mid-cycle to monitor the browning without having to cancel or re-set the cycle
  • "A bit more" function allows the user to lower the bread carriage for additional toasting time, when only a short time is needed
  • "Bagel" button activates additional heat to the center heating elements to toast the inner side of the cut bagel, whilst warming the outside of the bagel
  • LED toasting progress indicator
  • 5 variable-browning settings
  • Slide out crumb tray

Approximate Dimensions:

  • Depth: 11"
  • Height: 7.75"
  • Width: 6.75"

Gave one of these toasters to my sister for Christmas. Talked to her on the phone on Christmas morning. Her first comment she was embarrassed at being so excited about a toaster, but seeing as her husband, son and daughter-in-law were in the kitchen playing with it maybe she shouldn't be. A week after Christmas she was still talking about it. Her favorite feature: the "little bit more" button. Two slices can be started at her prefered level of "doneness", when the toast pops up, one slice is removed and at the touch of a button, the second sliced is finished slightly darker for her husband. Since my sister was so impressed, I ordered one for myself. Have used it for a little over a week. My favorite feature is the bagel setting. This is a feature new to me, but one that I would certainly recommed looking for when shopping for a new toaster. Its great for English muffins, one side toasted sandwich bread as well as bagels. The only change I would make would be to lengthen the slots for oversized deli-bread slices. The Breville is a little better in this regard than my old toaster, but still not quite enough for really oversized slices. The only reason I gave it a four instead of a five. I don't think any of the manufacturers have quite caught up with this, as it seems to be a shortcoming with all the toasters I looked at. The only other objection is that at the price you would think it could have been made somewhere other than China. Seems solid and well made though.One additional comment about Abt. Never heard of them until about a year ago. Have made four purchases since, the first being a mirco-wave convection oven. On that occasion I had a product information question which was answered by someone who actually seemed to know what she was talking about. Shipping has been prompt. Prices seem very competiative as well. Based on my experience, albeit limited, I would give them Five stars.

Surprisingly short life

This toaster only lasted us a little over one year. It does a nice job of toasting but didn't hold up. Very disappointing.

    I love that it beeps when done. Seems simple but it means toast doesn't sit there getting cold while I'm cooking something else.

            After researching various toasters, I settled on the Breville. I made the right choice. I never realized toast could taste this delicious.

            The toaster was ordered in early December and arrived promptly.

                I can't find anything wrong with this toaster. When I ordered it,my wife saide that it was too expensive. Now that we have used it she doesn't say anything about the price. I just love the uniform color of the toast. Also, I can count on the darkness setting to be the same every time. The quality is worth the price.

                  After reading toaster reviews from many sources and consulting Consumer Reports recommendations, I was far from confident making this purchase. But it is just a toaster after all, and one usually gets what he pays for. So I ordered one for myself, half expecting the uneven toasting that so many have complained about with almost all the products out there. So far, it works perfectly on every function that I've tried: buns, breads, bagels (frozen and fresh). For what it's worth, I later ordered one for my girlfriend's kitchen. It also works perfectly. Gotta give it a 5-star rating. However, if one of them breaks down in the next few months I'll be back with a revised review.

                    Toasts evenly on both sides but MOST importantly and SUPRISINGLY the toast tastes better. How can this be? Seems to be light n crispy on the outside yet flavorful on the inside. Looks great in my kitchen too. I did not want to fork out $[$] for a toaster so I used some AMEX points at 40% off to justify my purchase. Can't say I use the peek-a-boo feature....I just like the toast. Hopefully it will last for many years.

                      This is a pretty expensive toaster, but it really is a pleasure to use. I do not regret paying the extra money due to the quality of the toaster and unique features it has. The lift and look feature is actually very useful.

                      I did not have any problems with uneven toasting.
