Best Toaster I’ve ever had
Amazing toaster cooks to perfection. Cooks crumpets great and a lot quicker than other toasters. You can dial your choice of colour you like your bread or crumpets.

Toast with a difference
So easy to operate; set the toasting dial to the desired level and you never miss a beat. No more burnt toast; no more re putting the bread back into the toaster to get it darker; the toaster toast your bread to perfection; don't need to wait around to check on how things are going; it looks great and quite slick; no crumbs to worry about like your conventional toasters

finally a toaster that works
A toaster "toasts evenly on both sides" consistently! It took a couple of times to dial in the desired "brownness" that I liked. Also - there are multiple settings for different types of bread etc.I toast sourdough which is catered for - great feature of this toaster. The scanning technology is a game changer for consistent brownness. The downgrading to 4 star rating is reflective of the hefty price tag. Its a lot to pay for a toaster!

Key benefits

- 7 Shade Selector: Offers a wide range of browning options to suit personal preferences.
- Frozen Bread Function: Automatically adjusts to toast frozen bread without manual settings.
- Sourdough Mode: Specially designed to handle thick, crusty artisan breads for even toasting.

- 4 Slice Capacity: Toasts up to four slices at once, ideal for families or entertaining.
Q: Can it toast just two slices without wasting the other slots?
A: Yes. The 4-slice format can handle smaller loads, so you can toast only two slices when needed. It is still a larger toaster overall, so the main trade-off is bench space rather than needing to fill all four slots.
Q: Does this toaster suit thicker breads like sourdough and crumpets?
A: Yes. It includes tailored Sourdough and Crumpet modes, and the Toast Shade Selector adjusts colour across different bread types. Browning can still vary with bread moisture and thickness, so the setting may need a little dial-in.
Q: How do the Eye Q sensors help with browning consistency?
A: Breville The Eye Q 870 Auto 4 Slice Noir Launch Edition Toaster uses optic sensors that watch colour change 10 times per second. That gives you a live view of browning progress, while the 7 shade settings let you set the finish you want.
Q: Is the automatic lowering fully hands free on this model?
A: Yes. Automated one-touch lowering and Touch & Go controls are built in, so bread lowers without a manual lever. You still need to choose the right mode and shade setting, because the automation does not pick the bread type for you.
Q: Will the Noir Launch Edition toaster be hard to keep clean?
A: No. Breville The Eye Q 870 Auto 4 Slice Noir Launch Edition Toaster has an easy-clean ceramic top and a catch-all crumb tray to simplify routine cleaning. The larger body still needs more bench area around it than a compact toaster.
Q: Can you actually see the toast while it is browning?
A: Yes. The Clearview cavity and optic sensor setup let you monitor browning as the toast runs, instead of relying only on timing. That is useful when switching bread types, though the shade setting still determines the final target colour.
