Excellent Toaster
Automated lowering and raising along with each of the auto functions work really well. Nice metal body. Worth the upgrade from a manual toaster.

So happy with the Breville. Hard to find a toaster nowadays that does the crumpet and fruit toast so nicely.

- Wide Self-Centring Slots: Accommodates thick artisan bread, bagels, and crumpets.

Q: Can the Breville The Smart Toast 4 Slice handle fruit bread without burning it as easily as a standard toaster?
A: Yes. This model includes a dedicated Fruit Bread setting that adjusts the toasting time for denser, sweeter loaves, which can colour faster than regular bread. It is designed to reduce guesswork rather than relying on a hotter standard cycle.
Q: How is the Lift and Look function useful on the Breville Smart Toast 4 Slice?
A: It is useful because the motorised carriage raises the bread briefly so you can check the colour without cancelling the cycle. That helps with mixed bread types, where one slice may need more time and another may already be ready.
Q: What does the A Bit More button do on the Breville BTA845BSS?
A: It adds a short extra toasting cycle after the main one finishes, instead of starting again from scratch. That makes it handy when toast is nearly done but not quite right, especially with thicker slices or cooler bread from the pantry.
Q: Are the slots on the Breville The Smart Toast 4 Slice suitable for thicker breads and crumpets?
A: Yes. It has extra wide and deep self-centring slots, so it is better suited to thicker slices, crumpets and similar bakery items than a basic narrow-slot toaster. Self-centring also helps toast both sides more evenly.
Q: Does the Breville Smart Toast 4 Slice give a clearer idea of when the toast will be ready?
A: Yes. It includes an LED countdown indicator and a toast-ready sound alert, so there is a clearer visual and audible cue than with a basic lever toaster. That is helpful when making multiple rounds or watching several breakfast items at once.
