Breville The Toast Select Luxe BTA735SLQ (Salted Liqourice)

Toaster is a dud, Breville staff unhelpful – Bought the toaster 9-12 months ago. Yes, it's slow and they should warn customers prominently of that (which they do not, and which is the subject of many previous criticisms) but when it works it does deliver an even all over toast.

failure. I called Breville on the presumption they may care that their product failed. They were very unhelpful so I'll try to get the retailer to fix it instead.

And it takes a torturous long time to do it. I haven't thrown out my faithful Morphy Richards toaster that is still going strong after 6 years but doesn't cook evenly on both sides anymore. But at least it cooks according to its settings. Their jugs however have a bad habit with the plastic see through window going brittle and rusting the metal that adjoins it at the bottom because the water leaks through it. But that's another sad story for another day.
