Probably one of the most asked for features on this toaster. It's like toaster engineers have never needed to toast just one piece of toast. Honestly, it doesn't bother me, I like the toaster too much.
We just bought this toaster. Something I haven’t t heard a reviewer talk about is how solid this toaster is. Operating the buttons, slider, and lever feel super quality. Very pleased. We have a Breville microwave, same experience there too. Great products.
Seems like a waste of energy when using one slot but both slots heating elements are on. It should either have two levers like a regular 4 slot toaster has or a button that will make only one slot operate when not using both slots. Not only does it waste energy, it will unnecessary heat up your kitchen in the summer.
3:29 I actually just got one of these toasters and you won't believe it but I went to our local Goodwill and there it was I tested it three times and it seems to be just fine and I am thrilled with it maybe somebody just was moving or someone in the family passed away or whatever and I am the lucky person who picked it up and tested it three times it seems to be fine so I'm just tickled with it
No, there's no "falling through". The thickness of the bread will not cause you any issues. Now, if the bread is "short", then it's going to be harder to remove once the toasting cycle is finished, even with the lift up feature, but thin won't matter at all.
Had bad luck with a Breville blender- the brand is all show IMO and $$$$ Currently use a commercial 2-slice Hobart made in the USA and a made in Japan Mitsubishi one slice masterpiece of engineering.
This one is still going strong for us. We use it at least three times a week. It's not really promoted as a commercial toaster - matter of fact, I don't think I've ever seen a Breville anything in a commercial establishment, but I for sure have seen Hobart. That's a great brand for sure!
The heating elements are extremely fragile on the inside. Mine crapped out on the center section after less than a year. Many have similar experiences. Check the reviews. These are trash and don’t last, despite being so pretty and having great features. Such a shame.
It's pretty rare that any single product has universal love. This is why there is not just one toaster available in the world. I don't really have a dog in this fight, but when people do check the reviews they find that Consumer Reports (not a rag) gave it the highest rate of all toasters they rated. I had toast this morning and the toaster continues to work perfectly for me.
By motorized, you mean it would take itself over to where you store your bread and load itself? Or once the toast is done, it would bring it to you? Agreed, one or both would be wonderful upgrades.
Hey This is a nice toaster. I think if you purchase this one it should allow you to turn off one of the slots.
Nice tutorial

Well another brand has one piece slice bread toasting. Not sure if it will turn down power to other slot or slots

Couldn’t agree more!
What? Breville microwave handles fall apart from what ive heard. Not something you should have to deal with considering how expensive they are.

You probably saved a fortune! We still love ours. Good for you! 🎉
Found one at Goodwill yesterday for 5 bucks. The lever doesn't stay down, hopefully just crumbs in the mechanism 😢
Call Breville with the serial number. Maybe it’s under warranty. They might send a new one.
This toaster gets a 92 rating from consumer reports. The highest rating of all the toasters they rated.
Still enjoying this toaster, very much. Plus, it looks really good sitting on our counter, just an added bonus.
Solid review. I did not know you could use the "little bit more" feature after the normal toasting cycle was completed
Does the toaster ever turn off? I see the lights still on after toast is done.
Yes, once the toasting cycle is done, the lights stay on for about 20 seconds and then go off.
Does very thin bread fall through to the bottom of the toaster?
No, there's no "falling through". The thickness of the bread will not cause you any issues. Now, if the bread is "short", then it's going to be harder to remove once the toasting cycle is finished, even with the lift up feature, but thin won't matter at all.

The lift and look mechanism is not a lever as there is no fulcrum (whatever B
Manually actuated toast viewing device?

The control circuit failed and there is no part available from Breville to repair it. Just put it in the trash.
Brevil not Bre-ville
I Always say bre-ville 😊
Too bad it's not motorized.

Hi _ 8-1-23, do you still like the toaster?
Yes, very much so!
