Have a commercial Hobart 2-slice toaster made in the USA and recently picked up the Mitsubishi “toaster” in Tokyo- made in a Japanese factory alongside stereo components and designed by engineers who wanted the perfect slice.
Just bought the Breville 730xl 4 slice after trying a few off brands. People were complaining about the appearance of the toast, the quality of the toasting was very pleasing to me.
The Breville has electronics inside that are always on when plugged in. That is why you can activate the bagel button and it lights even when not making toast. When plugged in it will use a little amount of electricity just waiting for you to push a button. The nice expensive plug on the Breville suggests that the designers knew it had a phantom electricity draw and wanted to make it easy to unplug when not in use. On the other hand, the bagel button on the GE only is active when the toaster is running suggesting that the GE does not draw electricity all the time but only when it is needed.
Buttons do not use electricity. Exactly like the metal lever doesn't use electricity. Even if the circuit doesn't use some current, it's a very low trickle current, likely costing less than $1 per year, which pales is extremely low, and pales in comparison to how much it costs to actually use the toaster.
I have had a Dualit toaster for well over 10 likely 12 years or more and this is by far the best toaster as I have not had to replace anything but you can buy every part for it and any handyman could fix it. This toaster is built like a 57 Chevy and knowing it is hand made in the UK is great as I hate having to buy all this cheap __it from China that clogs up are landfill sites. Even though it is expensive? It is well worth the price as you can not beat the quality of it, its a beast!
Wanted a Dualit a few years ago but reviews were so bad- the timer is one of the 1st parts to fail. Dualit is made in a UK factory but uses Chinese parts.
The timer I purchased was from the UK, I don't know what parts are from China? Maybe the fasteners seeing as China is the mass producer of any small fasteners. I have no regrets in replacing a timer in a toaster that is well over a decade old as most small appliances are strictly throw away as there is no such thing as replacement parts.
@@paulmueller2545 I think the older toasters like yours were better, I just did some research of the current models and regretfully passed on them-very good looking appliance.
It's been a nightmare trying to get rid of my old four slice toaster with a trap door on the bottom that easily comes open dropping crumbs everywhere to find a two slice toaster that actually works.
Good review but a bit messy. As someone said earlier you should have put those toasts in from of the toasters. The bagel function toasts only one side - the inner side if I am not mistaken. Anyways thanks for the review.
We REALLY LIKED Your Video, But It Was A Little Crazy With The Made Up Names & It Might Have Helped if You Would Have Put The Toast , In Front Of Each Toaster, But You Infact Did Show what We Wanted & That Was A Even & Consistent Toasting So That Was GREAT , & I DON'T THINK You Were Trying To Be Funny, But You Are & That's Pretty COOL ,SO GREAT JOB ☆☆☆☆☆ 👍👍👍👍👍
Pop tarts, toaster strudel and egos, what are you 12 years old. Consumers reports and American test kitchen both picked the Breville. I have it and it is fine but really the key feature is the long slots, lots of grown ups especially foodies are baking and buying artisan breads which are wider and won't fit into a standard slot, so don't discount that feature unless you have the pallet of an 8 year old then enough said.
A flaw of the microphone is that it's too top heavy and will occasionally flip itself around in your shirt if you don't sit still. When it flips around the audio becomes complete crap, so I got into the habit of checking it occasionally.
a slideout cover is not cool. in reality it makes a huge mess. the old cheapo is far better. just open it over the trashcan. atm I don't even have one I use a pan on my stove :D
Nice idea, but you didn’t practice. Power cord not cable, Breville pronounced brev vil. Making up names for the brands Wally, etc is disrespectful. It’s called a crumb tray. You didn’t put the toast in front of its’ toaster. The Breville power cord was under the toaster so it wobbled. Stop playing with your microphone. Not attractive to see you eating on camera.

It’s just so funny watching you eat lots of toast . Can’t wait for the bagels . 😂
Thanks for the review! This helps with my decision on buying a new toaster. Downsizing from the four slice to two.

The grounding is because of the metal case. It has nothing to do with power draw
I have the cheap toaster that you have or had. And that's why I'm watching the video to try to find a better toaster.
I love European style breads: baguettes and artisanal breads; the Breville long slot toaster is what I am leaning toward. Thank you for the review.
Brevile is Australian company.
Brev ile
What is the purpose of that odd light in the corner?
You truly love your toast , super star!
Would u like butter and maple syrup with that ?
The crumb trays on newer models are much cheaper. The stamped sheet metal bends extremely easily.
Bro you've earned my subscription lol are you using medicated butter

I would buy the breville toaster but it's not sold in the Philippines. But the ge one is sold here.
Outstanding have you considered a job in breakfast tv ?
FYI it's not a “level” slider. Is a minutes slider.

wow a metal toaster with no earth....
Perfect way to kill your battery backup lol
I think I could've done without the 9 live taste tests directly next to the microphone...

I almost bought that GE one you have there, a lot of bad reviews.
Nice video. Thanks. Question: why do you keep touching your microphone? it is distracting
A flaw of the microphone is that it's too top heavy and will occasionally flip itself around in your shirt if you don't sit still. When it flips around the audio becomes complete crap, so I got into the habit of checking it occasionally.

Terrible comparison. Learn the names of the products.
Awful!
You talk to much, get to the point.
Yeah no kidding. Get to the point!
What he has is WAFFLE WAFFLE & more Waffle good god

your music is really fucking loud compared to when you're talking
They too much talk.. you could have made that video four minutes and cut the BS
Just get on with the review come on stop THE B S
Relax, Mr. Hunt
editing is your friend. skip button is mine. good review, but like watching paint dry. get to the point already.
i strongly disagree
