Out of grief, I began my search, unbeknownst by my wife, for a suitable replacement on desertcart. After reading the reviews, it was clear this expensive toaster was destined to be our replacement for the next 20 years. I announced my choice and what I had ordered to my wife on Saturday just after placing the order... I got an earful for spending so much money on a "frigging" toaster.... I assured her that there was only one better that I could identify and that was selling for over $300 and it didn't have perfect reviews either but both we considered well built and worth every cent; I mean, hey, spread that cost over 20 years right? Well, the toaster arrived this Monday and I didn't have time to unpack it till, yesterday, Tuesday. I read the manual for the toaster and did what it suggested; burning it in at full darkness setting on both sides of the toaster without and bread in the slots. I was impressed how the toaster gently lowered the bread elevators and how the holders moved toward center to hold a piece of bread vertical. I was, also, impressed how the LED's flashed and went out in sequence while the toasting cycle was being completed. When finished, the toasting elevators rose and the toaster beeped the completion of the cycle. Any techno geek would be impressed. I did notice a slight bit of smoke as the toaster burned off oil that had been left in the unit during manufacturing. DO NOT FORGET TO RUN THE TOASTER WITHOUT "BURNING IT IN" FIRST AS DIRECTED BY YOUR USER MANUAL. Well, this morning, Wednesday, was the big day! I plugged the toaster in, put two pieces of bread in, set the browning level to the recommended 3.5 browning level and hit the toast button. Once again, the toasting carriages gently, quietly, lowered and the toasting process began with LED's flashing and the Lift and Look button illuminated along with the adjacent red Toasting button. I watched as the LED's slowly went out as the toasting cycle was completed and when it was time for the toasting carriages to rise... well.... NOTHING! All I heard was a "clicking" for about 30 seconds and then every single button on both sides of the toaster lit up like a Christmas Tree and kept on flashing! You wouldn't believe my ....ummmm ... surprise and the greeting my wife gave me. What a wonderful way to start the day! The very first thing I did was attempt to contact Breville Customer Support but phone but they wouldn't be open until 8 AM Pacific Time so, I filled out a form on their support web site and sent it in. The second thing I did was contact desertcart and requested a replacement and return of this, obviously, expensive defective toaster; no problem, desertcart responded like a champ and a replacement was being prepared and UPS would be picking this "dog" up tomorrow. The world was becoming a kinder and gentler place to live in although I was still concerned about Breville quality and the replacement being sent. Two hours ago, my phone rang; it was Breville Customer Support; I told them what happened. The first thing the Customer Support Rep asked me was "Did you have the toaster plugged into a GFI'd protected circuit (you know those you typically find in a kitchen or, in our case, throughout our home)? Well, yes, I told her.... she said OK, do me a favor plug the toaster into another circuit... well, I had already packed the thing back up for the return to desertcart and, out of anger, left both pieces of toast in the toaster.... maybe Breville could feed the birds once they received the unit back right? Well, I did what she said. Guess what, THIS WONDERFUL TOASTER WORKED AS ADVERTISED! It appears that what you receive is a "smart toaster"; one of the features is recognizing fluctuations in electrical power and it shuts itself down to protect the onboard software! Geesh... I mean, wow I began feeling somewhat foolish although vindicated for my decision to purchase. The Rep told me that this is what the unit is supposed to do and I wouldn't believe how many people, like myself, conclude the Toaster is defective. NOT! While I have only run two toasting cycles now... looking at two perfect pieces of toast staring at me as I type this review, I'm confident this will, in fact, last the next 20 years. I'm looking forward to seeing my wife but, understand if she doesn't exactly come up to me and give me a hug! LOL. Last word, this toaster is built like a tank and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a durable, quality built, toaster. Don't be put off by the price; you pay for what you get in this case. Thank you desertcart for standing behind your sale; thank you Breville for your great Customer support and product and thank you UPS for being there when needed! Review: Initially disappointed, but now we love the toaster better than others we have had - We have a couple of other Breville products that we have been very happy with. So when it was time to replace our toaster, I decided that Breville was the way to go. At this point, I was so looking forward to getting it, and now, I am very disappointed with this toaster. As soon as we got it, I had to make some toast to see how it worked. as soon as the bread went down, I saw that the elements on the inside panels of both sets of slots did not light up or heat and only some of the elements on the other side of all slots heated. I used homemade whole grain bread that usually takes longer to toast. So I put it on the highest setting. At the end of the cycle, one side of the bread was partially toasted. So I turned the bread around to toast the other side - again only partially toasted using the #5 setting. Really, my old cheap toaster did better!! Since I have never been disappointed with a Breville product before, I decided to return this toaster as defective. Since the seller was not desertcart, the seller expects me to pay return shipping for a defective product. This is totally unacceptable, and I have reported this situation to desertcart. I have decided that I will give Breville another chance on this toaster, and will update this review if my experience with this product improves.The seller did finally email me a return shipping label with the help of desertcart customer service. UPDATE 11/10/16 I have increased my star rating from 1 star to 5 as we now really like this toaster. Just in case we still didn't like it, I ordered it from Bed Bath and Beyond so that the return would be easier. They don't have the 30 day limitation on returns and we have a local store. When we first got this toaster, I did toasting with no bread a couple of times to burn off anything that might be on the elements. This was recommended in the instructions. During this process, I noticed that all of the elements did not heat as much as the other side on one side of each slot. Many more heated than with the previous returned toaster, but still not all of them. Having had problems with the first toaster, I called Breville customer service the next day. They told me that the toaster was designed to make "restaurant style" toast. One side of each slice is not toasted as much as the other side so that toppings can be put onto the softer side, and the other side is crisper. The explanation sounded good, but I wasn't sure that I would like "restaurant style" toast. Our first test of the toaster was bagels. I set the toaster at level 5, pressed bagel and the toast. Our old toaster had to be set at the highest level to get anything browned. Before the toasting cycle finished, I checked the bagel and it was almost burned. The next bagel I set the toaster to level 3, and the toasting was perfect. The inside of the bagel was golden brown, and the outside was still soft. Perfect!! The ultimate test was toasting homemade bread, All of our bread is homemade and is primarily made from fresh milled whole grain flour. This type of bread is heavier than store bought bread, and takes much longer to toast. I also freeze loaves after slicing, and we take slices out as needed. For 100% frozen whole wheat bread, I set the toaster at level 5, pressed the frozen button, and then toast, and the bread went down to toast automatically.The bread was beautifully, evenly toasted. A couple of things that should be noted. Although the outside of the toaster gets only warm, it does give off a lot of heat from the top. I initially had it in a space on the counter that was under a cabinet. The underside of the cabinet got really hot - too hot to touch. I also mentioned this to Breville customer service, and was told that it should not be placed under a cabinet. I love and would recommend this toaster, but this may be a point to consider if you are considering purchasing it. UPDATE 12/21/21: We have had this toaster for over 5 years, and it still works as well as the day we got it. I love it not only for toasting bagels, but also use the bagel setting to toast hamburger buns. When the hamburger buns are toasted on one side as bagels are, they hold up much better to the hamburger and other ingredients without falling apart. When I make Belgian waffles, I always make extras for my husband to toast in this toaster. After over 5 years, this toaster still works and we still love it. If it ever poops out, I would certainly buy another of these. I hope this review was helpful for you. ## Features - The Breville Die-Cast 4-Slice Smart Toaster has 4 extra wide slots allowing you to toast your favorite bread types; With one touch automation, press 'A Bit More' to add time to the toasting cycle; Monitor your toast's progress with 'Lift & Look' - INNOVATIVE FEATURES: Check on toast or add extra time without interrupting the toasting cycle with 'Lift & Look' and 'A Bit More'; Looking for a bagel toaster?

My toaster is combined with my refrigerator. My opinion would be no it doesn't. In almost a year, we have never tripped a breaker. BTW, best toaster ever. Hope this helps **Q: What is the difference between this model and the bta730xl?** A: The Breville® BTA840XL Smart Toaster® has a digital time line for the toasting time as well as the ability for you to select one side or the other or both, allowing you to convert between a two slice toaster and a four slice toaster. As well, the BTA840XL has the Lift & Look button. **Q: I want to buy but it I see other reviews said theirs failed in weeks. Anyone had theirs longer than a couple years?** A: I am looking for a new toaster. Our current one is the Breville 4 slice. It has quit working. The cost to get it repaired is $100.00 plus. It was expensive to purchase and to repair--very expensive. I like the Breville Toaster Oven (the big one) have had it for many years. It is wonderful. Use it almost every day. After purchasing the Breville Toaster Oven, we were so impressed that we purchased the toaster and a Breville Coffee Maker. It was very costly to repair and have purchased a Mr. Coffee. It works well and less expensive. The only thing I miss it that for fresh coffee, I must grind my own in a separate unit. Just my observations. . . . **Q: Does it have a removable crumb tray for cleaning?** A: It has two removable crumb trays -- one for each two slices of toast. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was going to be a negative review but, WOW, you can't fault performance features! *by J***S on April 16, 2014* First off our 4 slice toaster of over 20 years passed last Friday; one of the toasting elements stopped working.

Die cast construction is solid. The feet don't tend to come off. The two foot plus cord has a good storage method underneath when, like us, you only need a foot or so. And it toasts evenly and consistently every time. Plus it looks great on our countertop. The heating elements inside seem to vary quite a bit, but the results show that isn't a problem. On the bagel setting the inside elements go into high gear while the outside ones dim down to perfectly toast our bagels. The LED count down bars and top buttons are normally off when the toaster is not in use. Touch the settings levers or a top button and the LEDs come to life. They will all turn off again after 30 seconds of inactivity. We like the count down indicator bars, The manual suggests you start with a '3' setting of eight bars. We've found that our regular toast and bagels come out to our taste on six bars. The bars flash and disappear as the cycle counts down. The motorized lifts are quiet. It's silent when toasting. You can set a pleasant buzzer to Regular, Low or Mute to alert you that the cycle is done. You may need the buzzer because you could easily miss the end-of-cycle and toast lift because its so silent. Any new toaster needs to be run empty for at least one full cycle at the highest settings before you use it for real. This burns off any 'stuff' left on the heating surfaces from the manufacturing process. Haven't had to use the 'Bit More' buttons yet because our '6 bar' setting is working fine across all our toasting needs. But its nice that its there. We did use the 'Lift and Look' buttons when zeroing in on our best setting. Its a nice feature that doesn't change the overall cycle and still allows a peek at the progress. At first we thought this toaster was a joke because of its high price. After researching it, and seeing some YouTube videos, we began to think that it might actually be worth the cost. We're glad to say it really is.
