This Breville goes back to the simple elegant expectation I hold dear in a toaster: toast my bread evenly and consistently. You would think that this is an easy thing to do with all our technology but to be honest, I've tested many toasters over the past three decades and the expensive ones seems to work no better than the cheap ones. My expectation is how well the bread is toasted, how enemy its toasted from top to bottom,left to right and how each slice toasts the same as its mate. Then I expect that the toaster will toast the bread exactly the same way every single time, for years.
This is somethings that I just have not been able to previously find in a toaster,, although I once got close with one toaster which toasted my bread quite evenly but it fell apart prematurely so it too let me down.
This Breville is rather expensive, an its controls are simple but my tis is what it down with the bread and this machine really toasts my bread as perfectly as I want it. All the slices are evenly tasted every time, the two slices match each other every time and each day when we go back to do more toasting all the slices come out even, just as expected.
This is what I want and for once, this Greville delivers. Since the basic function of being a toaster is so well delivered, I now look at the features of this unit (because it it didn't toast well, then I don't care about any fancy functions since they can't improve my past), which includes an Led display that visually indicates how much times is left to the toast process (more useful than it seems because we a tryoically cooking something else att he same time), the Lifet N Look feature which gives you a peek at the toast for a second or so (by raising it up then pulling it back down) is brilliant and should be required in all toasters. Its simple yet obviously useful the very first time you use it and can see exactly how your toast is doing. The next feature, called "Just A Bit More" adds a little time to the toast process if the toast is underdone. this is fantastic for the first time you a toasting a new bread (since you simply don't know what setting you will need to set to for), its brilliant and works perfectly well. The Bagel feature can be found in other toasters but I'm happy to see that its toasts the inside (cut side) of the Bagel more than the outside, which is exactly how the Bagel shops so it and is how I like it.
The lovely cast metal exterior stays cool and feels vey thick and sturdy, it feels expensive unlike most toasters that have think sheet metal sides that feel flimsy. I don't know if its aluminum or stainless steel but it looks good and feels like its built to last a lifetime.
I like the long slots which will accommodate artisan bread (the only bread we now eat, in addition to bagels) so normal toasters just don't work for us. This has been a great toaster for us so far and I look forward to updating my review years from now to report back on how well it holds up in the long term.

Durable Toaster that does a great job and looks great too! Not slow at all....
The Breville Long Slot Smart Toaster does a very nice job of toasting bread, bagels, muffins and frozen breakfast foods!This toaster turned up in my searches repeatedly because I wanted the long slots for more artisan type breads or bread-maker breads that don't fit a single slice slot. Further I wanted a something that stayed relatively cool to the touch after use. I also wanted something that was highly ratings and this toaster was the result.I have had the toaster for a week and I am satisfied with the results so far. The features are pretty nice with the "Add a bit" button that adds about 30 seconds to the toast time.I don't go for gimmicky things and I wondered if the auto up/down would be just that. The lift and look is nice though because the heating coils stay hot while it raises and lowers in a quick fluid motion so you can check how toasted it is without loosing your place in the toasting cycle.. Consider that again, a regular toaster when you lift the bread to check and press back down it starts the cycle over but this unit continues to the end of the selected time on the setting chosen.The unit is heavy and solid. The cool touch is good for one or two toast cycles however continual use will eventually heat the outside cast iron metal.The attached video shows a toast cycle. The numbers seem to be minutes so 3 was 3 minutes. I saw several reviews complaining about the cook time being long?! I am very puzzled by this as it was just fine. My normal use is to prepare an egg to put on a toasted muffin. So I put the muffin in and have the egg going seconds later. The toast time is easily comparable to my last regular 4 slot toaster that we had for 13 years and is easily ready before the egg is done.I did spend the $10 for the 4 year warranty just in case there are problems with the electronics later on because this is a more complicated piece of electronics than a regular manual toaster.This is the highest priced toaster I have ever purchased. As long as I get several years use with the toast function working properly for that time I will be happy.
