Toaster keeps popping up, it takes several attempts to have the bread stay down to toast. Toasts unevenly, now after 9 months of patience and persistence the toaster button is now jammed. We really liked the sleek lines and shape of the toaster, but we have been very disappointed in this product. Spend your money somewhere else.

I bought this toaster from Harvey Norman 3 weeks ago. I decided to spend more than I usually would on a toaster because the description sounded so good.
This toaster dries out the toast (regardless of the setting) to the point that it is biscuit like. The elements work sporadically. Especially when we use frozen bread, it produces terrible results.
It IS a good looking toaster, but considering it functions so poorly, that pales into insignificance.
Harvey Norman is kindly accepting our return and I will be purchasing a different brand. Unfortunately I no longer trust any Breville toaster.

This toaster has bothered us for months. It is out of warranty by a month. For the last three months it pops the toast up soon after you've put it in, no matter what setting you use. So it requires monitoring to keep putting the toast back down until it is actually toasted. Terrible toaster.

Every time you are toasting it pops up three or four times, Even when you first push it down it pops up straight away and pops up another two to three times during toasting. There is a real mechanical problem obviously wasn't tested before leaving factory will never buy Breville again

Had I known about the issues about this toaster, I would not have bought one, the bread keeps popping out & now it trips the power breaker (RCD) out in the meter box & it renders all my power sockets in the kitchen useless. I have plugged it into different power sockets around the house & one by one it trips the breaker (RCD) I have an electrician coming to the house tomorrow & I'm going to get him to test it.

We had one of these for about 11 months. It started off ok, but gradually it became less reluctant to keep the toast down until it was ready. I thought it was a one-off issue so I took it back to David Jones and had it replaced under warranty. Trouble was the replacement did the same thing, only from the outset. Then I read the reviews and found out it is a product defect. I replaced that one a couple of days later for a DeLonghi.

I have just read the other reviews of this toaster, and wish I'd read them before purchasing; though this is such a good looking toaster, and the only stainless steel one with long slots that I could find, that I probably would have bought it anyway. But as has been the case for other reviews on here, the toaster keeps prematurely popping up during the toasting cycle, in a completely random fashion. We've had it for not quite 3 months, and I'm returning it. Will have to try and find a different toaster that suits my needs!

I made the mistake of buying this piece of rubbish without reading the reviews prior to puchase. I experieinced the same early pop-up issues as others have written about, which is clearly a known product-line fault. The problem was evident from day 1, but has become progressively worse until after 6 months it is now virtually unusable. Perhaps more disappointing was the lack of support from Breville Customer Service. This was a bad experience all around and I will steer clear of this brand in the future!

Sadly this is the biggest pile of (insert rude word here) that I've seen from Breville, and as a result will be the last Breville product that we purchase. Two different units (the original and the replacement) kept popping up after 10 or 20 seconds, no matter what settings. Reading the many reviews of the same issue here, I'm just annoyed that I didn't check with this site prior to wasting time and money on this toaster. DO NOT PURCHASE, you will need to return it. Breville, what on earth are you thinking releasing an absolutely poor product like this, it has one main purpose, to toast stuff, can't even do that.

I have had this $90 toaster for 15 months. I originally bought it for its long toast slots and crumpet option.
In the last week it has started prematurely popping up and will not let you select any options on the front control panel.
I have had Breville products in the past that have been pretty good. This toaster is a real disappointment.
I did try to return it to the Good Guys, but it was just out of warranty.

Great toaster but no matter how I try crumpets burn on one side. Just seems that the elements are hotter at one edge I have tried twisting and turning but one edge always burns.

Another one here that it worked great at first but after just 3 months (got it for Christmas) it pops after 10-20 seconds sometimes! So annoying when its so expensive for a toaster!

I liked the features of this toaster but the actual functionality is terrible. I must have bought a lemon considering other reviews. THe toaster would pop up after only 10 seconds, sometimes it wouldn't even stay down and most of the time if I cooked a piece of bread after cooking a crumpet one side would be overcooked. I won't be buying a Breville toaster again!
