Customer Reviews Breville BTA820XL Die-Cast 2-Slice Smart Toaster™

Great upgrade from a standard toaster.

After several months of perfect toast, I believe this is the best toaster you can buy. As with any new toaster, you will need to determine which settings work best for your taste, bread types and frozen items...since each toaster model heats a little differently. This toaster is well engineered and built. It is very easy to remove, clean and replace the bread crumb catcher. The plug with the hole is genius, and easy to use when you have arthritis in your hands. The cord is easy to secure in the bottom for storage. All of the heat settings work as advertised. The "A Bit More" is an amazing addition which no other toaster (I am aware of) has as a feature. The automatic drop and rise of the toast is fantastic. In my opinion, this is the Rolls Royce of home kitchen toasters, and I highly recommend this Breville product.

Redefines what a toaster can be

Best controls and options!

On my second toaster. Just love everything about it. I bought one for 90 year-old aunt, and she loved it (and she's VERY hard to buy for). Then, she bought her nephew one, and my sister too. We're Breville fans.

Best toaster that I ever have owned. Well worth the money.

Just bought my brand new to replace my going on 9 year old same identical model and it works as beautifully as my old one. I love Breville.

Well made with a lot of convenient features. I am glad I bought this toaster. My previous toaster from Breville lasted over fifteen years.

I never thought the toaster could be improved on until I purchased the Die-Cast 2-Slice Breville Toaster. From it's modern simple/elegant design, quality construction, to all of the features. It is simple to use and I enjoy it.

Great quality and well built. Hopefully will last for a long time. My old toaster lasted for 12 years until the plastic handle came off. This toaster is with a push button so hopefully this will last.

Makes me want to replace the other toasters that I have in my vacation rentals

This was a Christmas gift for our daughter who needed a new toaster. We have enjoyed our 4 slice Breville toaster for many years and did not hesitate to purchase a suitable Breville for her. My husband is very fussy about his toaster and after many years of many very bad toasters I am very happy to give Breville the Wilkinson seal of approval. We also own a Breville Grind Control coffee maker and love it too.

Bread is perfectly toasted in a minimum of time.

Simple to use. Exceeded expectations.Bottom line, it's a workhorse.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOASTER; THIS IS MY SECOND BREVILLE TOASTER WHICH I REPLACED AFTER 10 YEARS OF SERVICE. CONSISTENT RESULTS AND EASY TO USE.

You get what you pay for and this toaster is worth every penny.

We bought this a month ago and are delighted with the way it toasts and works. It is easy to change settings and it shows you how long before the toast is done. Works great on homemade sour dough bread.

Have had several toasters in my day, none that I have enjoyed as this one. The features are great and toast is always perfect. Thank you Breville!

Nice Toaster. It will be nice on the design (Engineering) if they could make the chute/path to the crumb tray wider. Lots of crumb gets stuck inide the toaster

We just purchased a replacement toaster. First one (same model) lasted about 10-12 years.

I had a Breville Smart Toaster for 10 years. During that 10 years, I had no problems with the toaster. It finally stopped working. Since I really liked the toaster, I bought another one.

What makes the Breville toaster worth a price most people would consider prohibitive? Is it that I can check on it during the toasting process? Or the button that allows it to toast a bit more? Or is it the warranty that allows me to return this toaster when it needs a minor repair and I don't have to toss it away. All of the above. It's just a smart buy.

This is the best toaster I have ever owned. highly recommend.

Excellent, even toasting!

Love this toaster, it toasts evenly and works well. Breville customer service Is top notch and very helpful.
