At a glance
This 4-slice long slot toaster suits busy households that want more control over different bread types, including longer artisanal slices and crumpets. Its strengths are the six bread presets, easy progress checking and flexible browning control. A fair limitation is that it focuses on convenience and versatility rather than premium smart features or ultra-compact bench-saving design.

Things to consider
Its long 4-slice format is versatile for larger breads, but it may take up more bench space than compact 2-slice models and does not add smart connectivity or specialist high-end customisation.
Family suitability score
9/10 - 4-slice capacity and versatile bread settings make it a strong fit for households with different breakfast preferences.
Ease of cleaning rating
8/10 - removable crumb tray supports straightforward day-to-day cleaning.
Small kitchen fit
Moderate - the long 4-slice design is practical but may suit kitchens with a bit more bench space.
Bread type versatility
9/10 - long slots plus six presets make it well suited to white, fruit, brown, grain, rye and crumpets.
Key benefits
- 4-slice capacity: Toasts up to four slices at once, making it better suited to family breakfasts or preparing multiple serves quickly.
- Extra-long self-centring slots: Fits longer bread shapes more comfortably and helps toast artisanal slices more evenly.
- Six bread presets: Gives tailored settings for white, fruit, brown, grain, rye and crumpet, making it easier to get consistent results across different bread types.
- Variable browning control: Lets you fine-tune toast colour to suit lighter or darker preferences from batch to batch.
- Lift & Look function: Allows you to check progress without cancelling the cycle, so you can avoid under- or over-toasting.
- A Bit More button: Adds a little extra toasting time when needed without restarting the whole process.
- LED progress indicator: Shows the countdown clearly, so it is easier to judge when breakfast will be ready.
- Removable crumb tray: Makes routine clean-up simpler and helps keep the toaster and benchtop tidier.
Q: Will the long slots fit artisan bread and oversized slices?
A: Yes. The extra-long slots are designed for longer slices and artisanal loaves that do not sit well in a standard toaster. It still works best when slices fit comfortably inside the slot, so very tall or unusually thick pieces may need trimming.
Q: Does this toaster handle crumpets and fruit bread without guesswork?
A: Yes. This model has preset settings for both crumpet and fruit bread, so it is built for breads that often need different heat timing from plain toast. Browning control still matters, because slice thickness and moisture can change the result.
Q: Is it a good choice for small kitchen benchtops?
A: Yes, if bench space is reasonable. Breville The Toast Select is a 4-slice long-slot toaster, so its shape favours capacity and longer bread over a compact footprint. In a tight kitchen, a shorter 2-slice toaster is usually easier to place.
Q: Do the self-centring slots help toast thin or uneven slices?
A: Yes. The long slots are self-centring, which helps hold thinner slices more evenly between the heating elements instead of leaning to one side. It can still brown unevenly if the bread is cut very irregularly or has a lot of moisture.
Q: How useful is Lift and Look during busy breakfast batches?
A: Lift and Look lets you raise the bread to check colour without cancelling the cycle, which is useful when different breads brown at different speeds. It is a progress check rather than a separate reheat mode, so the same cycle then continues.
Q: Can A Bit More fix underdone toast without starting again?
A: Yes. A Bit More adds extra toasting time when a slice comes up lighter than expected, without starting a full fresh cycle from the beginning. It is best for small top-ups rather than taking very pale bread all the way to dark toast.
