Breville Lift & Look Pro BTA720 / BTA730

I bought one of these toasters when they first came out, wasnt cheap but worked really well. I recently replaced it with the same model and am very disappointed with it, it doesn't toast like the first one did, if you turn it up too high it burns the bread but doesn't toast on the lower settings. Wont be buying another one.

Highly recommend when you buy it buy the extended warranty. I am on the second one I've purchased however I've had 3 altogether as one was replaced under warranty. The first one the element went in the right hand side. The second one (free warranty replacement) the button on the right (the side I use most failed) - I must admit I've pressed that button 3000 times. The third one the element has gone again. I will probably buy again but would like a product that lasts a long time not just 3-5 years. Next time longest extended warranty I can get and I won't lose the receipt.

I haven't had a toaster for some time now and we invested in the Breville 'Lift & Look' Pro. I love the ease of the settings, can stop it anytime at the press of a button, 'cancel'. I mainly use it for toasting fresh bread, sometimes the top of the bread is over toasted compared to the end. Can over toast if the toaster is used more than once, so I automatically reduce the setting. Toasts crumpets and they come out fine.

Don't bother. First replacement was 9 months after purchase. Stopped working all together. Second replacement was 7 months later - only one side would toast. Great when it worked but poor quality and wholly unreliable. Buy any toaster but this one. Couldn't be worse.

When we purchased this toaster it was exactly what we wanted! For 12 months it worked like a charm- We are a family of 5 and we used it regularly. Within 6 weeks of the warranty expiring (12 months) the toaster handle won’t hold down. In order to use the toaster, you have to stand with it (while in use) and hold the handle down in place for it to toast! I would NOT recommend this toaster- it’s not with the price tag!

Paid $99 for this toaster in Myer two years ago. Recently it just pop the toasts up whenever it feels like it. Now it does not stay down at all.
I always went for the Breville brand for kitchen appliances and thought it was a good brand. Very disappointing. Now I shall look at some other brands for my appliances in the future.

My biggest issue with this toaster is that the toasting time is all over the place. It just pops up whenever it wants to. Sometimes it will beep at me & not stay down at all. Other times it will stay down for 10 seconds, other times 60 seconds. You can never predict it! It's very frustrating when you are busy getting the kids ready for school & you have to keep running back to the toaster to push it back down again.

Considering it was not a cheap toaster, I expected a lot better. Next time I will get a standard toaster without the fancy functions.

This toaster is stylish and has a lot of handy features, including a 'little bit more' function for when you don't want to re-start the process. There is also a progress bar that shows you how far along in the cooking process you are. Overall though, our favourite feature of this toaster is the even heating. Plus it is the perfect size for larger bits of bread (or 4 standard size).

Bought this toaster 17 months ago and in the beginning it was quite good apart from the annoying several times it would beep at me and wouldn't let me put my bread down?? It now only toasts my bread when it feels like it.The back element doesn't heat up all the time.I thought I had purchased the bee's knees of toasters....WHAT A BUST

Toasts for five or ten seconds and then pops up regardless of applied setting. You need to stand near the toaster and keep pushing it down to collect your burnt toast. Waste of money and would recommend avoiding this product at all costs. Totally ripped off by Breville. Will not be purchasing Breville in the future.

Worked fine for the first few months then started burning toast on same low setting every now and then. Eventually, just after a year, flashed a big spark and cut off power in the house.

Harvey Norman advised to contact Breville at which point you realise what you're dealing with. They basically could not give a ......

Do yourself a favour and DO NOT BUY a Breville.

No matter what time you select the toaster makes it’s own decision.
Awesome potential however product toast timer doesn’t work.
Burns or under cooks on a whim.
POS - Don’t buy it.
Terrible after sales services. Sent multiple email with no response.
The irony is we had the same problem with an earlier Breville two slice toaster and bought this expecting it would fix the problem.

The Breville toaster shure looks robust and I am shure it is but after around 11 months use it stopped working, We returned it to the store Billy Guyets and they sent us a new Breville (same Model) we have been using it now for around 3 months with no trouble and are satisfied with
the Great Service from Billy Guyetts

Whilst the toaster has lots of good features, it is a pretty pricey toaster and worked well. Until a loud pop sound resulting in all the lights continuing to happen, but alas no heat generation. So appears some sort of heating element failure. One week past the twelve month warranty. Alas.

This is one of the best toasters I have ever purchased. The ability to cook 4 slices at once saves time and effort. I just love the crumpet function which cooks crumpets mainly on one side only too perfection. The look and list makes it easy to see if the toast needs abit more time and makes it easier to remove from the toaster when done
