Breville Impressions Toaster Review

The Breville Impressions Toaster is a four slice high gloss white toaster with a vertical ridged textured exterior. It pulls off a modern design, particularly with a mixture of a glossy white body and stainless steel around the top. There's also a matching kettle available, so if you're looking to coordinate a new kitchen, then the pair may be of interest.

This toaster doesn't disappoint on features. The most notable feature is the 9 choices of browning, giving you complete control over the colour and texture of your toast. The toaster comes with extra wide slots to accommodate larger items. There's a high lift so you can get shorter items out from the slots easily without burning yourself. There's also a lift and look mechanism, allowing you to check how your toast is doing without stopping the toaster. There are many more features, which we list later.

Specification

In detail, the features are:

• Slots - 4 Slices.
• Browning Control - There's a browning slider which has 9 options. It ranges from gently tanned, to honey brown, to a much more intense and crunchy brown. Such a wide selection is perfect for large families.
• Wide Slots - The four slots are extra wide to facilitate larger items - thick homemade bread for example.
• Lift & Look - The internal mechanism is designed to raise without interrupting the toasting. This allows you to have a quick peek at how your toast is getting on.
• High Lift - The internal mechanism lifts up high, so you can remove shorter items without burning your fingers.
• Defrost / Reheat / Cancel - "Defrost" toasts frozen bread without needing to defrost it first. "Reheat" will heat cooled down toast back up again very quickly, without starting a new toasting cycle. "Cancel" will stop the toasting entirely. These buttons illuminate when active.
• Removable Crumb Trays - There are two trays under each pair of slots. They're designed for collecting crumbs, and can easily be removed and emptied.
• Cord Storage - Any excess electrical lead can be stored inside of the toaster.
