Colour:Black  |  Style Name:Smart Toast 4 - Slice Product Description Click here to view larger The Smart Toast: 4 Slice Motorised Diecast Toaster "Depending on the ingredients, some breads toast a lot faster than others." But with most toasters, you can't see what's going on and if you put it in for a second go you end up burning the bread. Say hello to 'A Quick Look' and 'A Bit More'... With the 'A Bit More' setting, if your toast comes up too light, one simple press is all it takes for a little extra toast time. The 'A Quick Look' button allows toast to glide up and down to show you how the toast is browning without interrupting the toasting cycle. Heston's Tip: With most breads, chances are you'll get a better toast when they are stored in the fridge. Try experimenting toasting different bread varieties fresh, chilled and frozen, and see what works for you. It really does make a difference. 'A Quick Look' and 'A Bit More' at a Touch of a Button 'A Quick Look' buttonClick here to view larger A world of bread needs a world of toasting. So how do you toast any type of bread and get it just the way you like it? Sage’'s Smart Toast motorised toaster's elegant push button controls include 'A Quick Look' and 'A Bit More.' A Quick Look' activates the motorised carriage to gently raise the bread just long enough to check if it's done. Press 'A Bit More' and the carriage lowers once more to give it just that. LEDs count down the toasting progress. Full die-cast construction, automatic raising and lowering, crumpet and defrost settings. One touch. Perfection. Motorised An elegant, gentle and virtually silent carriage lifts itself, and your toast, up and down. One touch push button control to start and the motorised carriage does the rest. A Bit More Button For when near enough isn't quite good enough. As the name suggests, 'A Bit More' toasts the bread for, well, that little bit more without the need to reset browning controls. Together with 'A Quick Look', 'A Bit More' means you can always get toast just the way you want it. 'A Bit More'buttonClick here to view larger Self Centring To ensure bread is evenly toasted on both sides, self centring slots have spring loaded carriages to automatically centre the bread relative to the toasting elements. Crumpet Setting Crumpets and bagels need higher heat on the top than on the bottom. On Crumpet Setting the outside element switches to low heat to prevent burning. Simply face crumpets inwards. Progress Indicator A countdown indicator lets you quickly see where the toast is up to in the selected cycle. Combined with A Quick Look it makes it easier to check progress and get toast just the way you like it.

When it works, it's great, but very short life span.
Looks good, and when it works it does a good job. The issue I have is that the first toaster malfunctioned within a month and the replacement stopped working within 2 weeks. I have now requested a refund as I don't want to take my chances with another one. It is disappointing as it was exactly what we were looking for (cooks evenly, toasts the whole slice so no uncooked bits at the top etc.). At that price, I didn't want to risk it breaking out of warranty and losing all that money.

Money don't always buy quality
Started off well and cooked 2 slices of toast perfectly 👌 on 3rd attempt the motor on left side would stop going through the lift/drop cycle. Searched online for a fix and even that didn't work. So guess I'll just stick with my old manual one where less things can go wrong

Both should have been easily spotted by quality control
What has happened to quality control!!!This is my second Sage toaster in as many weeks. The 1st came with blemishes on the paint work the 2nd came with a scratch on the paint work - something I would not expect on a product of this price. Both should have been easily spotted by quality control.I have returned yet again for a replacement. Hopefully 3rd time lucky or I will cancel the order and purchase a cheap toaster where quality control doesn't seem to be a problemMarkBirmingham

Great... but... not the same colour as kettle
Fantastic toaster ....functionality is very neat. Bought it twice and returned the first one I bought as Amazon dropped the price again to £120 less 24 hours later, and no longer offer price amendments for this. Definitely wouldn’t have invested at full price so waited for it go on sale. The bad bit: it’s a different shade of silver and different finish to the kettle. Bit annoying, I bought both thinking they’d match and they really don’t. Up to you whether this will bother you. Just can’t understand why the designers would have got them matching for this money.

This produces lovely toast
This toaster is the nuts and produces the most uniformly coloured toast from any toaster I’ve owned over the years. Love the fact that you can press the ‘little bit more’ button so you don’t have to start a new toast cycle if it’s not done enough to your liking. No more burnt toast!

A Toaster for 21st Centry...
All toasters do pretty much the same...well they do, but not as good as this one, its pricey yes but as with most things you get what you pay for, especially if you are really into your toast and want it done perfectly.The way it automatically lowers and raises the toast is Progress as far as I'm concerned given that toasters haven't changed much since I was in short trousers, its nice to see a product that has advanced in operation and design to reflect the passage of time and technology...a small thing but sets it apart.As for what it is actually built for, my Mrs was sceptical when I bought this but even she has admitted it made the best slice of toast she has ever had...even, crispy but still moist in the centre without being under done, we find setting number four gives a nice even just right result.So to conclude, if Luke Skywalker had a toaster, this would be it, Impressive, most Impressive....

All skirt no knickers. Had a better £25 one
Looks reasonably nice, LED timing system is consistent enough. The party trick is the motorised lift that looks smart, but the reality is longer time needed to start / stop or check.Finish is slightly let down on the grey plastic rather than brushed metal. Worst issue is that it doesn't toast evenly, Contrary to Hestons claims. have had 2 units and both have been the same.

... a Breville motorised toaster for years which was the best toaster we ever had
We had a Breville motorised toaster for years which was the best toaster we ever had. This is a Breville branded as Heston Blumenthal. It is good but doesn't brown evenly and one side cooks faster than the other. It is good but very expensive.We looked for ages as a motorised toaster is much better than a manual one, we waited until it was bundled with kettle which save us nearly £100.
