Breville Eye Q Toaster review: sensor tech doesn't guarantee even toast

Breville's Eye Q toaster, tested over several months including a family gathering in New Hampshire, produced acceptable but not superior toast compared to regular toasters. Reviewers found uneven browning, with tops often darker than bottoms, inconsistent results across its seven settings, and struggles with store-bought bagels. A replacement unit also showed inconsistent shading, and a second replacement toasted edges darker than the center.

Breville's Eye Q Toaster uses sensors to nail toast color every time

Engadget tested Breville's Eye Q toaster across all seven of its browning settings using fresh whole wheat bread, finding a smooth, consistent gradient from barely crisped to deep brown without burning. The device automatically senses timing rather than relying on a fixed dial, and includes a sourdough mode plus a button to add extra toasting time if needed.
