Seemed ok while we had it, but stopped working (wont stay down) after about 18 months. Would expect more life span on a toaster so we don't have to contribute to land fill so often!

This toaster consistently either burns the toast on one side or underdoes it on the other, regardless of the setting.It's impossible to get even-sided toasting with any sort of bread. At $60 or whatever, it's a complete waste of money. Our last ($15 K Mart) toaster was far superior. Our other Breville products are excellent, so I don't know how they can be selling this dud. Ours is now in the bin.

Had high expectations due to function of a little bit more - unfortunately it constantly burnt edges of toast regularly- I’ve never know our smoke alarm to go off more in 15 years - can not cook crumpets- & now has stopped working after 9mths - (won’t stay down) - our last toaster Avanti lasted nearly 14 years

Had the toaster for 9 months. I am happy with its performance in toasting however the slide out crumb tray is next to useless. If you lift the toaster after toasting there are crumbs underneath.

Had the toaster for 13 months then one morning just wouldn't work, it did a good job for the 13 months while it did work. Then went and brought a Kambrook KTA140 4 slice toaster it cooks one side of the toast great and the other side not a sign of brown, didn't think it would be so hard to toast bread in our modern world. Shame can't try toasting before buying!

I have had this Breville toaster for about five and a half months now. The best feature on this has to be the "little bit more"function. This is a life (bread) saver. One thing I have noticed is if you put in the first lot of toast at set at say level 3, the toast comes out light brown. If I then put in four more straight after on the same setting the bread will almost burn. Need to turn it down if you have a large family.
It seems fairly well made except the pop-up is fast and loud I have a conniption every morning. The crumb tray is far to small and you always have crumbs under the toaster. Other than that, I quite like it.

My experience with this toaster isn't good. It only browns the toast on one side so I have to turn it over and do the other side. Also, often the bread doesn't pop up, it justs goes up halfway and stays there until I raise the bar to bring it up. First world problems but not what I was expecting from a good brand.

We bought the Breville 4 slice toaster (the Bit More Plus model) just recently and have found it to be most effective. So far, we have toasted Hot Cross Buns, Frozen Fruit bread and sour dough bread - all of which proved to be perfectly browned. The settings are easy to manage and the wide slots are the main reason why we bought the unit. An excellent product!

Don't bother with this one. The snazzy buttons and cool features aren't even worth it. Sometimes you just want evenly toasted bread but this toaster always burnt certain sections of the toast. Eventually one whole side stopped heating completely so we ended up just toasting 2 slices of bread at a time. Avoid at all costs.

After moving interstate into a rental we needed a reliable toaster until our belongings are moved later in the year. I have had Breville in the past and been disappointed with the browning. However this toaster was on special and decided I would just go with it, it has not disappointed, in fact it is the best toaster I have had by far.

Less than 1 year and it is already broken. Yes, it’s 12 month replacement warranty but I can’t be bothered to take it back to Myer. I was a fan of Breville. Most of my kitchen appliances are Breville but lately I noticed that the quality has gone down. So I won’t get Breville anymore. Just get a cheap one.

Had a previous Breville 4 slice toaster, so when it gave up, I bought the Bit More Plus 4 slice toaster. We mainly toast frozen bread, so thought the 'Frozen' feature would be great. It burns the edges, doesn't cook the middle and the bottom is so undercooked it is actually soggy! Plan to return it this week. Won't be buying another Breville toaster.

I have been using this toaster for a few days now and I am happy with the additional features this toaster has. If your toast is still white you can get an extra 30 seconds of time with a press of a button, rather than having to hover around the toaster monitoring your bread. The slots are also quite large which allows breads of different sizes and thickness to fit in. Another feature is a button for frozen (single press) and fruit bread with a (double press) of the button this saves you time having to adjust the settings. Overall a great branded toaster worth considering if you’re interested in the features.

Absolutely terrible, it never cooks the bread the same, it either under cooks or burns, the bit more button just puts it on for another entire cooking cycle and it nearly caught on fire. Might as well use the grill as you have to constantly keep checking whether it's cooked or burnt.

Hated my old expensive toaster's uneven toasting so bought the Breville the Bit More Plus BTA435 from Harvey Norman. After adjusting the cooking dial to 5 for wholemeal bread I found it an inexpensive gem. Although slower than my previous toaster it is easy to use and delivers good even toast without drying out the bread. Easy breadcrumb dispenser as well.

I had the previous model BTA430 4 Slice "Bit More". I was happy with it, and liked to use the "bit more" feature until the toaster broke down after only 2 years.
So I bought a replacement, now the BTA440 4 slice "Bit More Plus", but the "bit more" button does absolutely nothing. The button lights up, but it just toasts for a whole cycle again.
As suggested by Breville support I returned it to the retailer and got a new one. This replacement behaves exactly the same way.
Now, I'm in a bind. They have told me to take it back to the retailer again, but surely a third model will be the same?
How can the special feature of a toaster be missing?
I'm curious to know if anyone else has experienced this.
