Toaster Review:Breville BTA840XL- Smart Toaster4Slice...
Two words..."GET ONE"
A bit more..,/length of ownership (LOO); new out of the box however Operation SUCCESS!
In this family household...the toaster is used fairly often.
If you get one & it happens to have a legitimate manufacturing flaw >return it & GET ANOTHER ONE.
This toaster...is very solid..(my counter-top doesn't care if it's to heavy). Whatever functions used so far preform flawlessly.., and my toast comes out....well.. like toast. Based on whatever usage thus far... we believe the bagel/def. features will more than likely preform to some degree- once used. Either way..,if in the market to replace a old/broken toaster.., & even more important..if someone's the type that remembers that manufactures skimp at every turn (when designing & assembling what they now might refer to as "throw away items".., you might squander all your reserves buying a new toaster every other year..;hence the few extra bucks for this thing is absolutely more than worth every penny. After researching toasters, no other device has similar features. Moreover, what generally sells me is value.
For lack of a better thought, it's as though a robot is preparing your toast & how cool is that?
Hats off to the Brev Brand. -----
************************** U P D A T E **************************
10/2011 Update; "LOO" 1Yr
No issues thus far, all features you read about in the Breville ADV. ..satisfy us to a T, Not to mention-..typical english muffins done in 1 cycle. Makes a great evenly toasted breads...as well. We figure we use it as most would- for various breakfast/snack/frozen/bread items.Everyone's happy with the look/feel/operation.
My wife states the crumb trays are a Breeze & onceINaWhile gently shakes it upside down to release any slightly larger residue that may not make it to the trays. As for The Brev Brand, well it's a definite pleasure to use an appliance that's much less likely actually "come apart" at the touch of ones hand.
Very Solid, Fairly Quick..Plenty of Element Heat..but unit stays generally cool to the touch. If one is the type to splurge (when affordable to) on a purchase...this is one of those times to do so.
After some initial various review searching- no surprise that all toaster brands can have issues , pro/cons etc & it seems there is still 3ways to price a toaster on average., $30. ,$90. & 150.+ or so..& there may be descent mid-priced toasters on the market. That being noted, if one appreciates very well made, innovative appliance's/items...this toaster is a real winner & absolutely Worth`the Whirl!
We'll see if our $200. toaster holds up moving forward & over nxt couple Y's.
It's a Five-Star`er --
-- "for now."

10/2013 "LOO" 3Yr
So far at 3 full years...., the appliance acts as it did when new. Just the Pro's and still no Cons. Superb wattage/heating power...preforms flawlessly on whatever we throw at it. We especially love the little "ding" when the cycle finishes. We will see how this thing holds up thru it's 5Yr Anniversary. lol - And will update again at 5Yrs or if it craps out... ( whichever comes first ). Bottom Line, yes, still recommend this appliance.
Even if it does break down soon, being that we see & use the appliance at least 3-5 days a week- would much rather own it again over the tinny / cheaply made alternatives.
Update as of;
October 27, 2017.
No issues with the toaster. Works as it did the day we took it out of the box. If it retires itself would purchase another of the same. Cheers.
I announced my choice and what I had ordered to my wife on Saturday just after placing the order... I got an earful for spending so much money on a "frigging" toaster.... I assured her that there was only one better that I could identify and that was selling for over $300 and it didn't have perfect reviews either but both we considered well built and worth every cent; I mean, hey, spread that cost over 20 years right?
Well, the toaster arrived this Monday and I didn't have time to unpack it till, yesterday, Tuesday. I read the manual for the toaster and did what it suggested; burning it in at full darkness setting on both sides of the toaster without and bread in the slots. I was impressed how the toaster gently lowered the bread elevators and how the holders moved toward center to hold a piece of bread vertical. I was, also, impressed how the LED's flashed and went out in sequence while the toasting cycle was being completed. When finished, the toasting elevators rose and the toaster beeped the completion of the cycle. Any techno geek would be impressed. I did notice a slight bit of smoke as the toaster burned off oil that had been left in the unit during manufacturing. DO NOT FORGET TO RUN THE TOASTER WITHOUT "BURNING IT IN" FIRST AS DIRECTED BY YOUR USER MANUAL.
Well, this morning, Wednesday, was the big day! I plugged the toaster in, put two pieces of bread in, set the browning level to the recommended 3.5 browning level and hit the toast button. Once again, the toasting carriages gently, quietly, lowered and the toasting process began with LED's flashing and the Lift and Look button illuminated along with the adjacent red Toasting button. I watched as the LED's slowly went out as the toasting cycle was completed and when it was time for the toasting carriages to rise... well.... NOTHING! All I heard was a "clicking" for about 30 seconds and then every single button on both sides of the toaster lit up like a Christmas Tree and kept on flashing! You wouldn't believe my ....ummmm ... surprise and the greeting my wife gave me. What a wonderful way to start the day!
The very first thing I did was attempt to contact Breville Customer Support but phone but they wouldn't be open until 8 AM Pacific Time so, I filled out a form on their support web site and sent it in. The second thing I did was contact Amazon and requested a replacement and return of this, obviously, expensive defective toaster; no problem, Amazon responded like a champ and a replacement was being prepared and UPS would be picking this "dog" up tomorrow. The world was becoming a kinder and gentler place to live in although I was still concerned about Breville quality and the replacement being sent.
Two hours ago, my phone rang; it was Breville Customer Support; I told them what happened. The first thing the Customer Support Rep asked me was "Did you have the toaster plugged into a GFI'd protected circuit (you know those you typically find in a kitchen or, in our case, throughout our home)? Well, yes, I told her.... she said OK, do me a favor plug the toaster into another circuit... well, I had already packed the thing back up for the return to Amazon and, out of anger, left both pieces of toast in the toaster.... maybe Breville could feed the birds once they received the unit back right? Well, I did what she said. Guess what, THIS WONDERFUL TOASTER WORKED AS ADVERTISED!
It appears that what you receive is a "smart toaster"; one of the features is recognizing fluctuations in electrical power and it shuts itself down to protect the onboard software! Geesh... I mean, wow I began feeling somewhat foolish although vindicated for my decision to purchase. The Rep told me that this is what the unit is supposed to do and I wouldn't believe how many people, like myself, conclude the Toaster is defective. NOT!
While I have only run two toasting cycles now... looking at two perfect pieces of toast staring at me as I type this review, I'm confident this will, in fact, last the next 20 years. I'm looking forward to seeing my wife but, understand if she doesn't exactly come up to me and give me a hug! LOL.
Last word, this toaster is built like a tank and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a durable, quality built, toaster. Don't be put off by the price; you pay for what you get in this case.
Thank you Amazon for standing behind your sale; thank you Breville for your great Customer support and product and thank you UPS for being there when needed!
However, it is definitely expensive but worth it in my opinion. Definitely a splurge. I'm very happy with my purchase.
Top reviews from other countries
I was married to the kind of man who grumbled at length about anything he found annoying. This included our plastic 2-slice toaster, which we’d picked up from a discount store way back when we first moved in together. It was cheaply made and toasted inconsistently. Eventually, tired of the daily ranting, I donated it and bought him the most expensive toaster I could find, hoping that would improve his quality of life, at least at breakfast.
(This was quite a few years ago and I had ordered it from a department store. I had to pick it up at the store and the kindly older sales rep was a little alarmed to see how much it cost, until I explained that I was trying to keep my husband happy.)
It worked, to an extent. He did like the toaster and stopped grumbling (about toast, at least). He’s a machinist and particular about materials & finishes; the Breville is a gorgeous appliance. In fact, he liked it so much that he insisted on keeping it when we finally split up (don't worry, we are both much happier now).
Two years post split, I don’t miss him at all but I sure missed that toaster. I’d bought a stainless steel toaster when I moved out and I hated it. For a while, it only toasted one side of the bread, and then it broke.
After that, I finally broke down and ordered my own Breville. It is a beautiful appliance and I regret nothing. It is well-built, the controls are precise and accurate, it looks amazing on my counter, and it toasts like a dream. Was it the frugal choice? No, but amortized over time it's worth the investment. And now that I have the “a bit more” button again, my life is complete. My toast is perfect, every time. My mornings are better and thus my entire quality of life has improved.
Maybe this isn’t the toaster for you, but it’s the toaster for me. I finally understand what it means to be treated well and I hope you can also find a way to set standards. If you can find the means in any way, don't put up with a toaster (or a partner) who treats you terribly. I’ll never settle again. And if I remarry I'm putting this toaster in my pre-nup.
The dimensions given by Amazon are accurate, whereas the ones by Breville in the product description are not, and slightly larger (I was anxious it may not fit on a shelf in our kitchen and it just does)
