CamelCamelCamel.
Can't quite recommend this one sadly, as other Breville products are quite good. Toasts unevenly, and we may have got a bad model but ours ended up failing after about a year and caused fuse trips. We got it at a similar deal price and ignored some of the reviews at our own peril.
EDIT: KangaDrew beat me to it!
I've owned 2 of these. The first one lasted 18 months. The second one lasted 3 months.
What mode of death?
The first one wouldn't pop so became a fire hazzard. The second one stopped working on the right side.
Thank you. Saved me from buying.
I just don't understand how companies can fail to make the most simple products in this industrially-advanced age. Electric toasters are what.. 120 year old technology? And the budget is a RRP of $111 for a product with a build of materials in the realm of $10? It shouldn't be that hard to come out with a functional product instead of 1 year warranty landfill.
We had one that lasted 5 months before one slot stopped working and wouldn't go down.
Are there any good toasters out there. All the breville ones seem quite hit&miss
If I were getting a new 4-slicer today, I'd go the Laura Ashley 4 slice toaster. Just wish they were a little less Grandma looking. I'd go with Elveden Blue, or maybe Wild Meadow. They come with warming racks which is a good idea.
I’ve owned a Breville BTA845 4 slice smart toaster for well over 10 years, and it’s still working perfectly fine, it’s a good toaster… The die cast stainless steel finish has some stains on it that won’t come off though, so I have been considering buying another nice shiny brand new one of the same model to replace it.
That's the model I'm actually looking at getting. 2 slot long.
Maybe you got an early model which hasn't been valued engineered?
After my 2 Breville's stopped working I bought the Baccarat The Artisan Toasty Slice. I can't fault it. It toasts both sides evenly.
I can't trust anything made by Baccarat lol, with all their crazy RRPs.
My Kmart 2-slice SS toaster is still going strong after 3+ years.
Dualit classic - hand made and spare parts are readily available. People report having them for 30+ years, and after all that time, you can still hand polish it.
Get a 2nd hand Sunbeam T-20
This is landfill. Worst toaster I ever owned.
I didn't believe you could make a bad toaster but they found a way. It'll toast unevenly the first batch and then burn any subsequent toast.

Found a good one you can recommend?
I've got one of these:

has lasted us for 3+ years.
Does the job, nothing fancy, and looks decent with stainless steel. Not wide enough for extra large sourdough slice.
I've had this toaster for around 3 years now and haven't had any issues. Only been used a few times a week though.
same here!
This made me look at other toaster deals and I ended up getting the sunbeam arise toaster and kettle
