The Breville Die-Cast 4-Slice Smart Toaster is a high-end toaster with quite a few extra features, including buttons instead of levers for pushing the bread down and countdown indicators so you can tell when your toast will be ready. As a four-slice toaster, it’s on the bulkier side, and its aluminum design makes it quite heavy.
Our Verdict
8.5 Toasting
The Breville Die-Cast 4-Slice Smart Toaster is excellent. The dial provides a fantastic range of results, so it can make golden brown toast from white sandwich bread, and items that need more toasting, like bagels or thicker slices, can be browned in one cycle. It toasts evenly in all the slots, so you can expect every slot to produce similar results using the same setting. However, it tends to heat up if you use it for several batches in a row, which might lead to accidentally burning your bread.
Pros
- Fantastic toasting range.
- Cycle countdown indicator.
Cons
- Inconsistent between batches.
What works well
- Four-slice capacity
- Cycle countdown indicators
- Broad browning adjustment
What to consider
- Heavy and bulky
- Successive batches may need a lower setting
