BrevilleEdge Deep Chassis 2-Slice Toaster | Toasts All the Way to the Top | Brushed Stainless Steel [VTT981]

I find most toasters one of the least technically considered items in my kitchen, I mean they are pretty basic. This is a good buy, a decent design, nothing standout or exciting but just a practical solution for toasting bread. Nicely finished polished steel and practical workings for everyday use.

I returned the unit for a refund due to it being delivered with a foreign electrical plug attached. I’m not a qualified electrician and shouldn’t have to change an items power plug

Bought to replace an earlier model about 3-4 years old which showed signs of packing up. This toasts right to the edges and is very quick. Still the same ridiculously shallow crumb tray. However, it has the same problem as previously. When I depress the start handle the toaster tilts up. This is OK for the first time as I can hold it down at the opposite end, but for subsequent start ups the machine is too hot to touch. Put your design cap on Breville and make it sturdier and tilt-proof. Also depressing the start handle feels very “tinny”. Will probably go for another make next time.

It will take fairly big slices. As long as your bread isn't extra oversized, it will toast perfectly and evenly. It toasts fairly quickly too and the option to lift it up to check before done is very appreciated - much harder to burn toast now. It's very sturdy and feels like it will last - but time will tell.It looks really great too. I don't like how easy it is to get finger prints on brushed or polished steel but there is no denying how stylish this toaster is. , But finger prints are a fairly minor quibble - if polished steel is your thing, you'll love it.There's toasters for half this price but probably not as sturdy and certainly not as stylish. I think it's well worth what I paid. Best toaster I've had in a while.

I was prepared to spend much more on a toaster that I really liked, but this was the one for me, at a stupidly low price. The handle to lift the toast and see if it’s done without having to start all over again is so simple and effective, I don’t know why all toasters don’t have it. It’s got good wide slots and I’ve even warmed up scones in it, after cutting them in half. It also has a nice wide flat top. It has a reheating option, but you obviously can’t use that once you’ve put something on the toast. However, I find that if I’ve put butter, avocado etc. on the toast and it’s gone a bit cold, I can lay the two slices on top of the toaster and put it on toast for a short time, and the heat coming up out of the slots warms up the toast and whatever is on it. Brilliant!
