I always wanted a toaster like the one my mother had back in the 60’s. You put the tostadas in and it went down automatically and came up when it was toasted. This toaster does this, I love it. I’ve had it for 10 years, hard to believe, and it still looks brand new and works like a charm. When I have visitors at my house I get lots of compliments and inquiries as where to buy one. It took me a while to find this toaster but when I did I bought it and never looked back.

We bought this seemingly high quality toaster in an effort to avoid what appears to be a norm these days with run-of-the-mill toasters - “planned obsolescence.” It’s sleek, sturdy, no lever to break, convenient lift and look, and a reputable brand known for quality. Unfortunately after about 2 years or so the outside elements stopped working. We now have to flip our slices to get them toasted on both sides. We’ve been running with it for 4 years now. Yes, the toaster still looks great and functions - but only 50%. Disappointing :(

This is our second. The first one quit after more than 10 years. We are a Breville family owning three other Breville kitchen products.
