Breville Bread Select Toaster Review

The Breville Bread Select Toaster is a sleek and stylish four slice toaster from Breville. It has a brushed nickel (silver/grey) finish and a classic design. There are a number of features which are not often found in toasters. These are the pre-programmed settings tailored for specific varieties of bread and an illuminated countdown timer.

The Bread Select Toaster has many of the usual features found in modern toasters. These are wide and deep slots to fit larger items such as bagels and crumpets, a high lift to facilitate the easy removal of shorter items, a lift and look function for a sneak peek, an independent two slice operation, removable crumb trays and more.

Temperature Control

The six pre-programmed temperature settings are designed for White Bread, Brown/Rye Bread, Fruit Bread, Bagels, Grain Bread and Crumpets. You can therefore customise the toaster to suit your preferences.
