At a glance
The Breville The Eye Q 870 is a premium 4-slice toaster designed for families and busy kitchens that want more consistent browning with less guesswork. Its optic sensors, automatic lowering and tailored modes make it easy to handle different breads. It is especially strong for convenience and versatility, but its wider footprint makes it less ideal for smaller benchtops.

- Large Home Kitchen
- Shared Household
Who it’s for
- Families

- Users Wanting Easy One-Touch Operation
Things to consider
Its 4-slice design gives you more capacity, but the wider footprint takes up more bench space than compact 2-slice models.
Family suitability score
9/10 - 4-slice capacity and easy one-touch operation make it a strong fit for households preparing multiple servings.
Ease of cleaning rating
8/10 - the ceramic top and catch-all crumb tray help make routine cleaning straightforward.
Small kitchen fit
Better suited to medium-to-large benchtops due to its wider 4-slice footprint.
Bread type versatility
High - tailored modes for sourdough and crumpets, plus optic sensing and 7 shade settings, support a wide range of breads.
Key benefits
- 4-slice capacity: Toasts up to four slices at once, making it well suited to family breakfasts or preparing multiple rounds quickly.
- Automated one-touch lowering: Smoothly lowers bread with a single touch for easier everyday operation.
- Eye Q optic sensors: Monitors colour change 10 times per second to help deliver more consistent browning across different bread types.
- 7 shade settings: Lets you fine-tune browning to match personal taste from lighter toast to darker finishes.
- 4 tailored modes: Dedicated settings for sourdough, crumpets, A Bit More and timer mode add flexibility for different toasting needs.
- Easy-clean ceramic top: Helps simplify wipe-downs after use for lower-effort maintenance.
- Catch-all crumb tray: Collects crumbs neatly to make regular cleaning easier.
- On-board cord storage: Helps keep the benchtop tidier when the toaster is not in use.
Q: What does Auto mean on the Breville The Eye Q 870 toaster?
A: On this Breville model, Auto refers to a motorised carriage that lowers and lifts the bread for you instead of using a manual lever. It adds convenience and a gentler lift, but it does not choose the browning level or bread setting for you.
Q: Will the Breville The Eye Q 870 fit thicker bread, fruit loaf or crumpets?
A: It is designed for everyday toast and can suit moderately thicker items better than very narrow slots, but extra-tall bakery slices may still sit above the top edge. If you often toast oversized sourdough, compare the slot dimensions listed on the page first.
Q: Is the 4 slice design of the Breville The Eye Q 870 worth it for a smaller household?
A: Yes, a 4 slice layout suits families or anyone making more than one round at breakfast, and it still works when you only toast a couple of slices. The trade-off is a wider footprint than a 2 slice toaster, so bench space matters more.
Q: Does the stainless steel exterior on the Breville The Eye Q 870 get hot?
A: Yes, the stainless steel exterior can become warm during normal use, especially across back-to-back batches. Touch the controls rather than the metal near the slots straight after toasting, and leave room around the toaster so heat can dissipate.
Q: Is the automatic lift on the Breville The Eye Q 870 gentler than a spring-pop toaster?
A: Yes, the automatic lift is usually gentler than a spring-pop toaster because bread is raised by the motor rather than ejected upward. That can help with lighter items or uneven slices, although the cycle can feel a little slower than a basic manual toaster.
