Breville® Bit More™ 2-Slice Toaster

A terrible toaster. Does not toast - just drys the bread out.

Bought this toaster about 4 months ago. Reading these reviews I'm having the exact problem everyone else is. Stop toasting on both sides while the bagel setting works perfectly. Spent a lot of money for a nice high end toaster and I've got junk.

I had a Breville toaster several years ago and like many other reviews here state, the center heating elements stopped working on the regular toast setting. It was out of warranty, but frustrated me enough that I finally just ordered a new unit. Just like the first, it worked fine for 18 months or so then developed the same problem: only outside heating elements come on during regular toast setting, but center elements come on for bagel setting. Would expect such an expensive toaster to last longer! I’ll be replacing it, but not with another Breville product.

I bought this toaster today on the recommendation of CR. It replaces an 8 yr old Breville 4 slice that started toasting on one side only just last week. This toasters center heating elements do not work. I will be returning to BBBeyond tomorrow. Sure hope they take it back. Absolutely NOT up to Breville standards. After reading these reviews I must say, this is not an isolated problem. Is there no quality control in todays factories? Does anyone at Breville care? I’m so disappointed bc this is a brand I’ve trusted for many years.

Initially, this product worked well and I loved all the features and quality. Within the first 3 years of owning it, I found the toasting to be uneven with the interior sides not browning. Additionally, the LED indicator lights do not always light up when plugged into power or lights appear briefly, but then they go off. Many times I need to adjust and hold the wire just to keep the lights on and to toast items. The plug and wire are sometimes very hot to the touch when unplugging the appliance. This all began occurring during 2022.

My family of 4 has used this toaster for over 8 years with no issues. It is easy to use, easy to clean, and consistent. Recently, it stopped working and after contacting Breville I sent it in for repair. They were unable to repair it, so they sent me a brand new updated version as a solution. This high level of customer service is valuable and has established me as a loyal customer. While shopping for another appliance (Espresso machine) recently, I chose the Breville brand because of this trust!

I purchased this on 12/20/22 after reading reviews thinking this would be "THE one". But..... to my disappointment I spent a lot of money on a toaster that toasts the bread/waffles unevenly (one side is raw/soft, the other toasted). I will be returning it ASAP.

I love this toaster. I bought this on Black Friday so I’ve only had it a month. So far it has been fabulous. The bagel function is perfect. The degrees of toasting have been experimented and everyone has found a perfect toasting range. I still give my Toaster Scrambles a 10 second thaw in the microwave before toasting. But I haven’t experimented to much with the frozen button yet.
