Reviews around feature (4.09 of 5)

  • it has better features and we like it much better than the old one
  • So if say you have a towel, or plate, or cutting board or really anything on the counter in front of it it will slam closed on your hand burning you as you reach in for your toast
  • So in order to supplement that poor feature, I just ordered another regular toaster, just for bread.
  • Multiple sources that test and rate toaster ovens said Breville was the best but warned that the ovens were large and I worried that the features were overkill; Breville also had a LOT of models which led to a lot of waffling on my part.
  • It's easy to use and had unexpected features.

Reviews around toast (3.75 of 5)

  • I wouldn’t even complain if the highest setting burned my toast!
  • If you like your toast toasted evenly on both sides, buy something else.
  • It makes toast twice as fast and twice as good as any I've owned in the past - the only TO that toasts evenly on both sides
  • The toasting is uneven, noticeable but not too bad. if you over fill it with toast, expect the difference to be much more noticeable.
  • I especially like the TOAST function which consistently gives perfect toasting.

Reviews around arc fault (3.14 of 5)

  • Each unit tripped an arc-fault breaker (not the same as a GFCI breaker, which it did not trip).
  • Earlier units lasted 3-4 minutes before tripping the arc-fault breaker.
  • Baked items are equally as good as if there were in a normal sized oven
  • The top gets very warm to hot as there is little or no insulation
  • It's not quite as shiny as when we bought it, but probably because we don't really give it the scrubbing it deserves; we just clean out the tray at the bottom and wash the glass every now and then.
