The alternatives

Breville BTA730XL Brushed Stainless Steel
Choose the Breville BTA730XL when you need four-slice capacity or extra-long slots. It retains the manual Lift-and-Look lever; check its stated 8.1 by 16.1 by 7.6-inch dimensions against your counter space.234
Choose the two-slice Smeg TSF01SSUS when reheating toast or a bagel mode that browns only one side is useful to you. It also offers defrost and six browning levels.56
Choose the Smeg TSF03SSUS for four separate slots and independent controls that let you use different functions and browning levels at the same time.7
Buying advice
- For either Breville model, allow the manual’s minimum four inches at the sides and eight inches above. The Lift-and-Look control is a manual lever, not automatic lowering.2
