Very nice toaster. Worth the money. I like the way the control is on the front and not the end like on most other models.
The Breville toaster was disapointing from the very first, as the bread wasn't browning evenly on both sides. I was willing to accept that as I very much liked the design of the product, the dial switch and the led light. But when the dial which calibrates the degree of color for the toast stopped working, I figured it had to go. At that point there was no way to program it and it would have to be returned. Form follows function and this toaster simply wasn't doing what I paid for it to do. Look good on my counter? No. Toast bread. Not asking that much, really.
I have used this toaster for about a half-year now to see if it didn't degrade or die after a short time like some reviews that I saw. This toaster has performed flawless in all that time and it browns evenly. I only have two minor complaints. The first is that it needs a secondary lift to be able to extract small baquette toast. The second thing that it needs is the ability to use half-step of the numbers. It used two steps counts for each number as it counts down, so I think that this should be a "no brainer" for Breville. This is important because, depending on the consistancy of the bread, different brands may toast slightly different.
Call me impatient. I wish toast happened instantly. This toaster does the next best thing -- it has a display that lets you know how much longer you have to wait till the toast pops. It toasts bread evenly, and the setting for bagels works nicely, too. The feature that allows you to peek without interrupting the toasting process is handy as well. I also appreciate the crumb tray, which is easy to remove without spilling crumbs on the counter. All in all, a quality product.
We have one of these cool looking toasters for over a year. It does not get much use, just the occasional bagel at the weekend. When I went to make toast recently I discovered that it is permanently stuck on bagel mode. We contacted the company and got the "too bad so sad" you're out of warranty story. This is not what I would expect from a $80 toaster. They have a one year warranty, wow,these people don't have much faith in their product, why should you?
Breville Ikon two slice electronic toaster has a premium brushed stainless steel exterior. It also has extra wide and deep self centering toasting slots. This item has many features including electronic browning control dial, removable crumb tray and a tidy cord storage.
