Hopeless! It only toasts part of the bread or it just comes up dry and colourless. Have tried many settings without any success, should never have thrown out the old Sunbeam.

Bought the toaster 9-12 months ago. Yes, it's slow and they should warn customers prominently of that (which they do not, and which is the subject of many previous criticisms) but when it works it does deliver an even all over toast.

BUT: the electronics failed within a few months, so toast no longer pops up, and instead all lights flash failure. I called Breville on the presumption they may care that their product failed. They were very unhelpful so I'll try to get the retailer to fix it instead.

This toaster is fantastic, it may take slightly longer than my previous toasters, but, worth it as it toasts everything perfectly every time, from bread, crumpets to fruit loaf to bagels, it’s simply awesome, couldn’t fault it so far, it’s a bit pricey so wait for a special to buy it, well worth it !!

I love this toaster. It was a dial on the front to select the type of bread and how much you want it cooked. There is a "bit more button". If you want to check on how it's going, you can push it up without cancelling the cooking. The thing I like best is the dial lights up to show how long it has to go. I find this really useful when I'm making breakfast & want to ensure I'm on hand to grab the toast when it's fresh and hot.

Only lasted 1 1/2 months before dying. Was very happy with performance up until then. No problem with toast time or colour. Toasted everything from white bread, grain, rye to crumpets without a problem. However, it just didn't last and won't be purchasing Breville again although last Breville toaster lasted for many years.

You have to have it on the hottest setting to get any colour in my vogules. And then it only browns up on one side and only on the top half and starts to burn it. Very diserpointed. I expected it to brown my toast on both sides but it doesn't. Last time I will buy this brand.

So far so good. It does what it says it does. Toast bread.
Good function how you can check your bread, Mid-toasting process and now you can pick different bread settings.
At first I was deterred from buying this toaster because of the reviews but I took the leap to update my kitchen. No regrets so far.
I will update this review if there are any issues that arise.

Every time the toaster is on there is a high pitched squealing and buzzing noise until the toast is done. It is particularly disturbing for my young daughters as it obviously sounds much louder to their ears. I've contacted the store I bought it from and am hoping for a replacement. I also noticed that it doesn't toast as evenly or as fast as my old toaster (Krups) did. I'm glad i didn't give away my old toaster yet as it's better than this one. It's a shame as I like the look of it which was why we got it in the first place.

Brought toaster home to use for the first time, the toaster makes a humming/buzzing noise when in use, I had bought it back to the shops to exchange for another one and had the same problem again. A toaster that cost this much should not make any noise while in use considering my old toaster was 1/3 of the price and made no noise at all. Overall the look of the toaster and functions are great, just a little bit bulky though and the noise is annoying.
