There has been quite a few comments here about toaster problems. Perhaps
it is operator error.  Has anyone here taken a training course in making
toast?
Bread prep and orientation
Which slice goes into what slot?
How to do only one slice
Temperature differential for raisin bread
Proper insertion of the slice.
Pushing the lever down, rate of travel.
 
People just drop the bread in, push the lever, then expect perfection.
Proper training will get you there.

I confess that I had no special training. I barely even looked at the
manual. I give full credit to my Breville for being reliable, consistent
and easy to use. I was able to get bread nicely toasted every time and I
had the extra challenge of usually using frozen sliced bread, but all I
had to do was to put it in at the usual setting and press the Frozen
button and it would add some extra time to it. Some types of bread need
more or less toasting than others and that was easily done by sliding
the lever to the left or tight.  I did enjoy the bagel function. As I
mentioned before I had bought it near the beginning of the pandemic
shutdown so it is almost 5 years now and still working great. I put it
away only to save counter space.

Beautiful. Reads like a romance novel, Dave.
