I completed a very thorough research on which toaster to buy and I am very glad that I did because this one does exactly what it says that it does and then some!! WELL WORTH THE EXTRA MONEY!!

We ordered and returned 3 Breville Ikon toasters, all of which were defective. They worked for a couple of days and then just quit -- no lights, no toast. After reading the good reports on this toaster, I can't believe our bad luck. Perhaps Amazon got a defective lot. I am very disappointed as it is a beautiful machine but I don't need a kitchen decoration!


3 out of 5 stars Could be a great deal better, a little worse.   July 2, 2008

I had read positive reviews for this product while looking to replace our previous, now dead, toaster. I did appreciate the step up to electronics yielding more consistent results, however a number of other shortcomings, at least in the unit we purchased, prevents me from rating it highly.

1. There is not enough difference from one setting to the next. On our unit, '3' results in just barely toasted bread, '4' yields charcoal. Where are the settings for a nicely toasted piece of bread suitable for butter and jam?

2. The location of the knob makes 'inadvertent adjustments' predictable and inevitable. The knob sticks out to the side and moves too easily. Detentes at each setting would be a great improvement or at least a less easily adjusted knob. All too often one ends up with no toast or, again, charcoal.

We have learned to live with this toaster, mainly because it costs so much, not because we enjoy it. When this one dies, we will look for a better solution.

After much searching for a toaster to replace a bad Krups Sensatoast, decided on the Breville. It does everything it says it should - only problem is that the position of the toaster setting can be inadvertently changed when the toaster is being handled & put back in a cabinet after use; other than that this is one great little toaster.


5 out of 5 stars Great Bagel Toaster   April 17, 2008

Our old toaster was 39 years old and just now starting to show age so needless to say it was a good toaster. We read the reviews of the Breville 2 slice and have now used it for over a month. It is a great bagel toaster. We love the defrost mode,the cancel button and the 'half raised' mode to look at the doneness. We are still getting used to the various settings. The fact that it is a cool touch toaster and is very light are other assets of this addition to our kitchen.
