Title: Very Nice Toaster With Great Performance
Review: Like most households, we've always had some type of toaster. I've never invested much money in a toaster, because even though it gets used regularly--if not daily--it was just one of the minor appliances, used for one specific job. We replaced them periodically, as they failed every few years. When the units came out with the wider bagel slots and the better adjustment on toasting, we stepped up to those features, but still just bought "cheap toasters".When our most recent toaster died after several years, I looked over options on Amazon to see what new features, if any, may have evolved since my last purchase. We had updated our kitchen and although our needs hadn't changed, I thought that springing for a little nicer model might be worthwhile. I was captured by the appearance and the ratings of this Breville unit, so decided to up the ante and give it a try. So far, I've been happy with the decision.The only possible negative that I've found is that this unit is physically larger than the cheaper models. It's not monstrous, but it will take up more counter space than a basic unit. The appearance and the performance, however, is great. This is a nice-looking toaster and looks well-built. It performs in the standard manner, but I've been impressed with the very even and effective toasting of anything I put in the slots. I've used regular-sliced bought bread, thick-sliced homemade bread, bagels and biscuits, and everything comes out well-toasted. The toasting control works well, and the "Lift and Look" feature, combined with the "A Bit More" feature, provides extra control over the finished product. I haven't tried the "Frozen" setting, but the "Fruit Bread" setting works very well with the fruit bread that my daughter makes. The "Cancel" button works instantly, and is easier to use than trying to force up the toast lever on a conventional unit. I don't know whether the longevity will prove to be better than the average 4-5 years of the cheap units--probably not, since it's still the same basic design. Even so, I really like this toaster and as of now think our extra dollars for it were well-spent.

Title: Love the toasting & weight
Review: Just used my new Breville the 'A Bit More' Toaster 2 Slice, BTA720XL, Brushed Stainless Steel for 1st time. First I heated to MAX with nothing in it on Toast, Bagel, & Frozen settings to make sure of no bad smells mentioned in reviews of several other toasters. Was a tiny smell on 1st heat up of heating elements; not plastic or strong chemical smell. Frozen waffles came out perfect 1st try on 3 setting. Toast came out perfect on 3 also, medium brown as we like it. Love the lift up to check color and remove items from toaster. Haven't tried the Bit More yet. No need. Love the weight of the toaster. Not flimsy stainless steel. I like the shape and look. Very happy with this toaster so far. Can't remember Seller name now but Thank You and thank you Amazon. 🙂

Title: Great toaster so far - easy to use and consistent toasting
Review: We had a cheap $15 toaster for many years, and I got sick the same toaster setting both under-toasting and burning bread, so we decided to try this one out (Consumer reports ranked it highly).We've only had it for 2mo, but we love this toaster so far. We use it almost daily for store-bought bread (Alfaro's Artesano Style Bread) and waffles (Eggo Thick and Fluffy). With the toast setting at ~50%, the bread comes out nicely toasted. Even when we toast several slices in a row, the "toast quality" is roughly the same from batch to batch. With our old toaster, we'd have to double toast the first slices, and then cancel the later batches early to avoid burning; this toaster seems to do a decent job of controlling the temperature and/or time in a way that keeps the toasting consistent. For the frozen waffles, I push the "frozen" button and bump the temperature setting a little higher to ~60%. Usually, that gives a respectably toasted waffle. Occasionally, I want my waffle extra crispy so I'll double toast it at the 50~60% setting and I'm pleased that it doesn't burn. Maybe I should just bump up the heat or try the "bit more" button...Some reviews have complained about uneven toasting or that the inner heating elements do not heat up. On our unit, it looks like the inner heating elements are off or low by design, when toasting bread, but we haven't noticed any issues with uneven toasting. The inner heating elements are on a shared wall between the two toasting chambers, so I'd guess that wall could turn into a real hot-spot (-> burnt bread) if the inner elements were on full blast. I think the inner elements turn on higher for the bagel setting, but we haven't tried that yet.Some additional PRO's:- Looks great: all stainless steel with LED lights on the buttons and temperature settings when in use (i.e.- the lights turn off after it is idle for a few minutes.- Lift (and look) feature is awesome: I can check things without canceling the cycle, and when the toasting is done, lifting the handle lifts the toast/waffle an extra 3/4 inch to make it easier to grab without burning your fingers. I caught my wife looking for chopsticks to fish some hot toast out of the toaster, so I showed her how to lift the handle... viola! problem solved :)On the CON side:- It is a bit pricey (~$80 from Amazon), compared to our dirt cheap old toaster.- It's a bit bigger than I expected (wider than our cheap old toaster). But that's not really a problem, probably helps keep the outside relatively cool to the touch.I'm hoping it will last more than a few years. And if the toasting remains this consistent, I'd say it was a great buy.Maybe I'll update this in a year or two...

Review: I needed to replace my 30+year old toaster which forgot how to toast. After some research, it seemed that the Breville could do the job. The toaster is on the heavy side (weight), so it is a solid built item. It toasts pretty evenly and if you want it darker, you can pop it back down and press the "a bit more" button and it toasts it a bit longer (and darker). It does a good job. The only downside is that is takes a little longer to toast than my old toaster....which in the end, forgot how to toast so.... Yes, I would recommend this product. If you want a new toaster, definitely consider this Breville. You won't be disappointed.

Review: Nunca habia tenido un tostador de pan, busque mucho antes de decidirme cual comprar, me alegro no haber tomado mucho en cuenta algunos malos comentarios que vi en unas reseñas, es el tostador perfecto lo digo con sinceridad, me ha encantado!En ocasiones solo lo utilizo para calentar un poco el pan, en la mínima potencia y queda con una textura muy rica.Tiene el tamaño perfecto para poner 4 rebanadas de pan grandes yo compro de Oroweat, queda justo en lo ancho pero en lo alto lo cubre perfectamente, esto lo digo porque vi un comentario que decia que no alcanzaba a cubrir bien el pan de arriba y eso no es cierto lo cubre de sobra. No tengan miedo, yo tarde mucho en decidir por eso, me alegro haberme arriesgado, estoy feliz con mi compra.

Review: Have had it more almost a year now and it's great.I spent the last couple years looking at our 4 slice toaster wondering who it was for at this point.My daughter who actually ate toast non stop is away for school and my son has never been a bread guy.I love toast and will rarely but predictably go through a week of PB and J toast for more meals then is probably healthy (or sane)So with that being the case I moved to a 2 slice toaster. If I really want to gorge on toast I can, sure. But now I have to sit there and think about it more often. Question why I'm doing this to myself. At least twice as often as previously. Which is nice.It's the best toaster you can buy. No matter your reasoning.

Review: Excelente compra. Además bonito. Es eficiente y el indicador de tostado es útil para saber lo que falta para terminar. El defrost también es muy útil si se quiere tostar pan congeniado con mayor eficiencia.

Review: I love the functionality of this toaster and was very thankful I had purchased the extended warranty. After 6 months of home use, the inner elements of toaster ceased to function. I had quite the run around initially from customer support but they did supply the return shipping label for defective toaster and sent me a brand new toaster.
