Even the removable crumb tray that makes this toaster easy to clean was considerately designed.

Like most Breville products, the electrical cord has a circle behind the prongs that makes it easy to remove from a socket. If the toast needs a bit more time, just press the button that’s actually labeled “A Bit More.” You can even adjust or mute the volume on the beep that tells you your toast is done. Press the “Lift & Look” button if you want a quick peek.

You select your setting by sliding a button on an LED-lighted control.īreville did an outstanding job designing an intuitive, accommodating product. The bread lowers and rises in its extra-wide slots with a theatrically slow speed. The start/cancel button is handier than a traditional lever. It’s the little things that make our top pick stand out. Making a product heavier to connote “quality” is an old trick, but the Breville’s quality is also obvious in its top-notch toasting of bread and thick (sliced) bagels. This stainless steel toaster's weight is noticeable right out of the box. The Breville Die-Cast 2-Slice Smart Toaster might actually make you say “I love my toaster” in casual conversation. Special settings: Bagel, defrost, 'A Bit More,' and 'Lift and Look'.

Dimensions: 11 x 6.75 x 7.75 inches (L x W x H).
