Awesome but pricey! : Breville Lift and Look Touch Toaster
I did not purchase this from Amazon (unfortunately at the time they were on 1-4 month shipping delay here at Amazon when I bought it from another store).
Everything about this toaster is .. impressive. It's weight in your hands. It's quality of craftsmanship, very well put together. I like the look of this toaster. As far as toasters go, it is very sleek, stylish, elegant even, but not overstated. I cannot think of any kitchen this would look 'wrong' in from an aesthetics POV (see my only Con comment at the bottom).
This is a very easy to use toaster. The timer slider is easy to use, and shows an LED visual display as you slide it. This also acts as the count-down timer, letting you know where in the cycle the toaster is at when activated. After setting the timer slider, simply press the Start button. Toast will "rise up" (not pop) when done and a chime will sound. More on this later.
The slots are long and wide. I have not yet toasted bagels in it, but I don't see them having any problems. A real plus to the long slots is not having to cut your artisan breads in half anymore. If you are toasting regular bread slices, then just drop them in side-by-side, filling up each slot of the toaster.
This is a deep toaster. Everything I have toasted so far is completely covered by the heating elements. Gone are the days of the top of the item being toasted being untoasted, or having to be flipped and retoasted, overcooking and drying out the middle. On the flip side, when the cycle is done, the carrier raises the items very high, allowing even short items to be easily plucked of the toaster, dramatically reducing the number of times my or my kids little fingers have to come in contact with the hot metal parts. This is a very nice touch! (pun intended)
Everything that goes in, comes out toasted right the first time. Repeated toastings so far have produced consistent results. However, if you are toasting something new (or are unsure of how long something will take to attain toasty perfection) there are two buttons that are there to help you: "Cook a bit more" and "Life and Look". "Lift and look" pauses the toasting cycle timer, gently lifts what you are toasting up for a look and then drops them down again and resumes the toasting cycle. "Cook a bit more" does just that, adds some time onto the timer. I have not scientifically used the "Cook and bit more" to know that it adds 30 seconds, 10% more or whatever, to the time. But it is there if you need it. I believe (according to instructions) that it can also be used at the end of a cycle to lower the items to be toasted for a bit longer.
The manual is excellent. All aspects of this toaster are well documented, both in their own section, and in context as necessary. Their description of the act of toasting something is 7 or 8 highly detailed, but easy to read bullets talking about everything aspect of the process that someone would want to know. Really, this is one of the best user manuals I have seen in quite a while. I cannot think of a question that was left unanswered after having read through it. It is easy to read, detailed, while not being overwhelming.
Silly as this seems, my kids (okay and myself too) like watching this thing work. When you push the button, it gently lowers the items into the body. The sides collapse to center the item. That smooth movement is ... well frankly cool! When it is done, it gently raises the items, and chimes unobtrusively to let you know it is done. My 4 year old literally pulls up a step stool and wants to start the toaster every time someone has something to toast. The smoothness of this units operation is a silly, but real part of it's allure. The first time you drop something in here, you will immediately think "Wow, that was pretty cool!" Of course, then you will feel silly for thinking that about a toaster. But it is!
Are there any cons? It is large (which is both a pro and con). My wife's initial "take it back" reaction had everything to do with its dimensions and the fact that it really sticks out on the counter. We have it towards an enclosed end of the counter, so it does not interfere with any counter operations. Still it is quite a large toaster, and if this is going to be in the middle of the counter, then you will have to get used to either putting it away or turning it sideways to get back counter space. The plug does stick out as well, but maybe an inch further than anything else I have to plug in.
If you can't tell already, I really love this toaster and would recommend it to anyone. Now I just truly hope it stands the test of time and look forward to many long years of use.
