This is an excellent toaster. I came across the 4 slice edition at a Resort's breakfast area. It coped well with the traffic and the Lift and Look button meant up to 4 people could use it at one time. Guests showed the finer point to each other. So I purchase the two slice version on my return. However, the written instructions, while mostly intuitive, are lengthy and repetitive. The use of a simple matrix would make life a bit easier. Also my instructions for the Crumpet/ Fruit button did not specify to push the button once for Crumpet and twice for Fruit Bread (The button goes dark blue.) I found this out by looking on the web at other toaster's instructions.

I researched to find what would be the top toaster and the Smart toast has fulfilled all my expectations. It has excelled itself. It is simple to use and toasts all that is put into it superbly. Top toaster

I bought the red Breville Smart Toaster about 7-8 years ago. It is used everyday (family of 6). We have no issues with it and I am now looking for a new one so I can take my 'old' one to work and use it there - I love my toast! Electronic lift works well, it had a wee glitch a few months ago where it seemed to get stuck - but it just needed a good clean out (tray was full - I have 4 teens in the house!) and its been fine ever since.
