We have had great fun with this toaster.Two of my children love cheese toasties and usually use toastabags in the toaster . However, the cheese rarely melts enough before the bread burns, they are a bit lazy to wait for the grill and think our Breville Pannini maker makes the square white bread a bit "steamed" (curiously it does). This is a great solution - I have always loved how Breville's seal the toast and have a molten cheese centre.The toaster looks really stylish and chunky and matches the white gloss kettle (which I have). It is like a lttle child's suitcase. Although ostensibly it looks very much like a 1980's sandwich toaster there are some great tweaks that make it much easier to clean.There are two chunky buttons on each side that when pressed release the hot plates -they come out entirely and so can be washed thoroughly- making cheese eruptions much easier to clean. The plates are also deeper - so more filling can be added and allows for more creativity if you want to try multiple fillings . You can even use the plates like a hotplate to cook eggs or flat pieces of meat (might be useful if you are a student with no clean pans around) although they will come out with the classic scallop design. The ceramic coating is also thicker than normal teflon and looks like it will much harder to damage and scratch.The instructions advise to butter the wrong side of the bread (to lubricate the plates) but my kids hate cheese mixed with butter (we never add butter to sandwiches) and the new plates have been fine - the bread has not stuck on the plates , so the toasties are a bit more healthy and to our taste. The toaster has an small LED that lights up when the toaster is heating and turns off when the toaster is hot enough to place the sandwich inside - it also indicates the temperature and when the sandwich is ready. It comes with a small instruction leaflet and a couple of ideas (banana and choclate toastie etc).I like it but wonder how much we will really use it long term (our pannini press languishes right at the back of a cupboard) and there is also the old problem of storage. The price point atm (£44) also seems very high for a non essential item like this toaster.Update December 2016 - after a flurry of sandwich making the kids have reverted to using toastabags (no heating up time) and my aprtner the grill. The toaster is now languishing in the cupboard as it was getting dusty/greasy on the worktop and not being used. Still, a novelty item.

I love toasties, my favourite is cheese and mushroom and was keen to try this one as I have recently moved home and left my old one behind and this one matches my new Breville Kettle.Whilst I never thought of my old one as bulky, this is much more streamlined and so much sleeker looking with the shiny white and silvery metal combination. Lovely rounded edges and a big easy to grab handle which clicks locked, and feet so it can stand upright and out of the way when not in use.Once plugged into the mains, a green light comes on. This is not a green- ready to use light which I at first thought, as in..... Wow? It's ready to use already?No, this is just a power on indicator. Once it heats up,an amber light comes on and it took about 4 mins. About the same as my old toastie machine.Open it up and you find the cooking plates really are much deeper than usual, I buttered the outside faces of my bread as instructed and placed them with the rounded crust end sticking outwards and then piled on my cheese and mushrooms, sandwiching the mushroom between two slices of cheese!!Place the second slice on and then carefully close the lid down and lock it in place.The toaster is meant to be faster at cooking than other toasters and I didn't really find this to be the case, it took as long as I would have normally expected, about 4-5 minutes but I have no complaints about that.Once cooked, the edges were perfectly sealed and then filling was perfect, molten cheese,soft mushrooms. The bread was very evenly toasted and crisp and lifted out of the toaster very easily. There was minimal butter residue on the plates which I wiped off with a bunched up paper towel but if you've made more mess than that, there are one-push release buttons that allow the whole of the two plates to be removed completely, for washing.Just to finish, they've even provided a space for the cord to wind around when you put it away so it's not trailing along the counter top.Having deeper plates gives you much more scope to experiment with different flavour combinations. I've tried the chocolate spread and banana idea that jumped out of the box at me when I opened it, but have also tried chorizo and tomato, and tuna, cheese and sweet corn, all of which were delicious!!Do I love it?Yes !!!

i've had a few Breville sandwich toasters over the years but this is definitely the best, for two reasons: it's very stylish, and the hotplates are removable for washing. In other ways it does basically the same job as any other Breville toastie maker, which means it does a generally very good job, though I find 7–10 minutes toasting gives better results than the recommended 5–6.But it really looks great. The metal accents and the slick white finish are genuinely stylish, and it's nice and compact for storage, stands on end safely and has a carrying handle built in. You'd be proud to have it on display.There are metalised buttons to release the hotplates.This works really well and means there's no excuse for not cleaning it properly so it's ready to use when you fancy a toastie. You can just shove them in the dishwasher. I think this is the greatest advantage of this model and I wouldn't buy a toastie maker without this feature.My last machine was awkward to clamp shut but this one works well and is relatively easy to close even with a well-filled sandwich.Breville claims this makes the deepest toasties yet, but I didn't notice a huge difference from older ones. Like all but the first toastie maker I ever owned, decades ago, this doesn't properly cut the toastie in half so you have to use a knife. No big deal. It seems to seal the edges well though and melted cheese doesn't seem to escape onto the body of the toaster or your counter top because of the deep ridge at the back of the bottom hotplate.The power cord is rather short so you have to put it close to a power socket. You can wrap the cord around the cord tidy that's built in.Overall I'm very impressed. This is the best toastie maker yet as far as I'm concerned. I love the looks, and the removable hotplates should make me use it much more often because it will be clean and ready to go every time. This one won't be going in the back of the cupboard!

The toaster is best suited to square cut bread and as with all previous Breville toasters they recommend that you lightly butter the outer side of the bread. I’ve used without buttering the outside and still get great results.You simple pop your bread on the plates, dollop on your preferred filling and add the top slice, close the toaster which has an easy close and lock handle and the plates heat up very fast.The Breville toaster produces lovely golden brown fully sealed toasted sandwiches but watch out for the fillings when you bite in to them. I’ve had a burnt lip biting in to toasties with hot tomatoes just like the old days.Make sure you use a wooden or plastic spoon on the ceramic plates to pop out your hot sandwiches.Might be obvious but there are two plates so you can make 2 sandwiches with different fillings.On the side of the Breville there’s small buttons that you press to release the hot plates for easy cleaning. I found wiping them when they are still a little warm is easiest when cleaning.The toaster is a lovely compact size and can be stored upright top save space in cupboards.Iconic sandwich toaster that produces hot deep filled and perfectly sealed toasted sandwiches.Love it.

It's early days yet, as we've only had the sandwich maker for a few days, but the results so far are really good. We've tried others in the past, but weren't pleased with the quality. I'd never heard of Breville until I started hunting online for a new one, but so far I would say it was the right decision. The Breville Toaster makes a sturdy impression and looks very stylish into the bargain. The removable plates are very easy to clean. As long as the filling doesn't go to the edges of the bread, it is nicely sealed in around the edges and in the middle, giving a really professional effect. I find that you have to lower the lid very slowly until the catch closes,as I would worry that it might snap off if pressed down too quickly. That's no great hardship, and after that - just wait 5 minutes before removing a lovely crisp and delicious toasted sandwich!Today the matching waffle plates arrived by post, so I hope they fit, and that the waffles are as easy to make and as delicious as the toasts.It would be an added plus if you could switch the toaster off without having to pull out the plug every time, but hey - I suppose you can't have everything ;-)

A good deep all round sandwich toaster. Back twenty years ago, it was quite easy to find nice deep filled sandwich toasters.For some reason over then and now, the public or the manufacturer must favour less filling in their toasties.There does however seem to be a revival in the old-style toasters.This one is a particularly good example of deep filled, yet still remaining easy to clean with the green side of a dish sponge.Quick heatup and good steady heat without the dreaded heat spots. A great all-round toaster for desserts and savouries.

The principle of this breville toastie maker is the same as it was way back in the day except its just got a lot more bling and deeper plates. Lets face it, even if it was gold plated and diamond encrusted it would still end up in your kitchen cupboard as nobody wants yet another device cluttering up the worktop, so just as well its pretty compact and easy to store. It works well, seals the edges nicely and removable non-stick plates are easy to clean. I won't insult you by advising you on how to make a toastie as it's pretty obvious.

It's an excellent product but a bad design. Whilst the removable plates are brilliant for cleaning being removable there's a gap between the plates and housing.It's extremely easy to overfill your (baked bean) sandwiches and the juice runs down the gap and under the plates. I've solved this by putting tinfoil behind.Obviously it's my fault for over filling the toasties but it is easily done. Hence the 4 stars.

All Hail the King of Sandwich Toasters!!! Looking like an 80s Ghetto Blaster and with an option for 'deep filling' (oooooooh)... it looks amazing, works great and makes me want to explore the deepest recesses of our cupboards for extra special 'filling time'!!! Cheese, Beans, Creamed Mushrooms, Parma Ham... allllllll gooooooood!

Love this. Much better than my old one. Love the removable plates to clean, it still does get melted cheese on the main body of the unit but nothing like my old one. It's more robust and a bit bigger but still easy to store away in a cupboard when not in use. Overall very happy and would buy it again.

Good product and have now been using for over 3 moths almost daily.. easy to clean!! but let down by juices getting into the elements which make them hard to clean. Good idea in having removable plates for cleaning but let down by not having them sealed to stop the juices leaking into the elements...

Super compact size. Suits my small kitchen.Easy to store and keep away when notin use. The build quality seems to be good. Will update again when I start using it.Big plus is the interchangeble waffle/sandwich plates so I can have one machine for dual uses. Space saving.

Lovely andeasy to use. Plates are removable for easy cleaning. Sometimes I just wipe a cloth over them and they come up lovely. I cut the crusts off the top of the slices and they come out lovely. Really nice sandwich toaster.

I have bought this as a sandwich maker (love cheese toasties), but we are actually maybe using it more as a waffle maker now. Easy to clean and swap plates. Durable, no scratches or peeling off layers so far.
