Next level toasting
It is like your iPhone could toast. Worth the extra expense for the features it also looks the part. Don't hide it away in a cupboard - flaunt your toasting equipment by having it in a prominent place in your kitchen.

Great Toaster!
Overall, I really love this toaster! The automatic features are great, my old toaster the lever to put it down had gotten really tough & you nearly flipped the toaster off the bench putting the slice down...hence the new toaster! I've spent a few weeks playing with levels of this toaster and have settled that I like Lvl2 but sometimes need to put it down for a little bit more depending on if it is the first slice I'm putting in for the morning or the third. However, I wouldn't say it is as smart as the advertising makes it out to be. Occasionally the bottom of slice is quite burnt no matter what level you put it on, and I still haven't worked out how to cancel the toasting if I accidentally put it down on the wrong level.

At a glance
This 2-slice toaster is a compact everyday option for singles, couples or smaller households that want consistent browning with less guesswork. Its optic sensors, motorised lowering and tailored modes make toast, sourdough and crumpets easier to manage. The Noir finish also suits modern darker kitchens. The main limitation is its 2-slice capacity, which is less convenient for larger families.

Things to consider
Its 2-slice design is ideal for compact kitchens, but it is less suited to larger households than 4-slice or long-slot toasters.
Family suitability score
6/10 - Great for one or two people, but the 2-slice capacity is limiting for bigger households.
Ease of cleaning rating
8/10 - The ceramic top and catch-all crumb tray make regular cleaning straightforward.
Small kitchen fit
Excellent - compact 2-slice format suits limited bench space well.
Bread type versatility
8/10 - Special modes for sourdough and crumpets, plus seven shade settings, support a good range of everyday bread types.
Key benefits
- Optic Sensors: Monitors browning 10 times per second to help deliver more precise toast colour.
- Auto Lowering: One-touch automated lowering makes daily use simpler and more hands-off.
- Motorised Bread Handling: Raises and lowers bread smoothly for easier access and a more premium feel.
- Seven Shade Settings: Gives you a wider range of browning control for different preferences.
- Tailored Toasting Modes: Includes Sourdough, Crumpet, A Bit More and Timer mode for better results across different bread types and situations.
- Ceramic Top: Easy-clean top surface helps simplify wipe-downs after daily use.
- Catch-All Crumb Tray: Collects crumbs in one place to make routine cleaning easier.
- Onboard Cord Storage: Helps keep benchtops neater when the toaster is not in use.
Q: Does the automatic lift mean there is no manual lever?
A: Yes. The motorised bread handling lowers and raises the toast at the touch of a button, so there is no stiff push-down lever to force. You still choose the shade setting and mode yourself before each cycle.
Q: Can it keep toast colour consistent across different batches?
A: Breville The Eye Q 850 uses optic sensors to monitor browning 10 times per second, which helps keep colour more even from batch to batch. Bread type, slice thickness and whether the toaster is already warm can still affect the final result.
Q: What does A Bit More do on this toaster?
A: A Bit More adds a little extra toasting to the current batch without starting the whole cycle again from scratch. It is useful when the toast is slightly lighter than expected, but it will not change the selected shade for later batches.
Q: Is sourdough mode only for sourdough bread and fruit loaf?
A: No. Sourdough mode is there for breads with thicker crusts or less even slices, not just sourdough loaves. It helps with artisan-style bread that can toast unevenly in a standard cycle, but this toaster still handles only 2 slices at once.
Q: How easy is the top to clean after daily use?
A: Cleaning is straightforward. The ceramic top is designed to wipe clean, and the crumb system channels loose crumbs into a catch-all tray. It still needs regular emptying, especially if you toast crumbly bread or crumpets often.
Q: Will the cord stay tidy on a small kitchen bench?
A: Yes. The onboard cord storage helps keep excess cable off the benchtop, which suits tighter kitchen spaces and cleaner placement beside other appliances. It does not make the toaster smaller, but it can reduce visible clutter.
