Breville is a very old name when it comes to toasters. In fact in some countries like Australia and South Africa Breville has become synonymous with toasters. Breville has a number of firsts to its name, they were one of the first to bring out the electric toaster, and the universal design where you get a diagonal cut across the middle of the sandwich is their design.
Breville is such a strong brand name that in a number of countries, they lead the market when it comes to toasters. In America however, Breville has not made it big and it is very possible that it is because of the price of their products. The cheapest toaster costs around which is twice as expensive as other home made low cost toasters. They have six models of both toasters as well as sandwich ovens that they call smart ovens, and a short review of each is given below.
Ikon 2 & 4 slice toasters
This is their cheapest range and still costs nearly for the two slice ones and for the four slice ones. When compared to other toasters, they have a better finish and have impeccable build quality, which means that there will not be any reliability. They are however nearly twice as expensive as other locally made toasters and although these ones will come with a plastic finish, have no reliability issues. Paying twice the money for something that just looks better is a decision that you will have to make.
Die cast 2 & 4 slice toasters
This is one of the most expensive models in the market and you get toasting technology par excellence with them. You just drop the slices of bread into the slots and they lower and come up by themselves. It also has a brushed stainless steel outer cover that makes it look very nice and is easy on maintenance too. The only problem is that the two slice ones cost 0 and the four slice ones cost 0. For most of us this is just too high a price to pay for something that only toasts bread.
Smart oven
The Breville smart oven is a sandwich oven that can make up to 4 sandwiches art the same time. You get two different sizes and the bigger one can accommodate more. Unfortunately they cost 0 and 0 respectively, which is just a little too high even for a sandwich grill. You can get quite good ones from other manufacturers at less than half this rate.
