No. 10 of 10 in our [toasters ranking](https://vettedten.com/us/kitchen/toasters/) · Updated November 2026 · [How we rank](https://vettedten.com/how-we-rank/) **7.9 out of 10** The Breville 'A Bit More' BTA720XL is a brushed stainless 2-slice toaster with extra-wide, deep slots, a Lift and Look lever and an LED progress light. It suits people who want to check and extend toasting without a motorized lift. Why it's here: - The A Bit More button and the Lift and Look lever let you extend or check a cycle without starting over - Extra-wide, deep slots with bagel and frozen settings - LED progress indicator and a front crumb tray that slides out - Brushed stainless housing looks good on a counter Keep in mind: - Lever is manual, so no motorized lift like the die-cast BTA820XL - Costs well over the budget 2-slice toasters - Slots are shorter than on long-slot models [Check price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00COMHC12) ## Why the Breville BTA720XL scores 7.9 - How happy owners are: 10th of 10 - How many rated it: 7th of 10 - How new it is: 3rd of 10 ### Why it sits behind the Amazon Basics 2-Slice Toaster with Extra-Wide Slots The Amazon Basics 2-Slice Toaster with Extra-Wide Slots (8.1) beats the Breville the 'A Bit More' 2-Slice Toaster BTA720XL (7.9) because it leaves owners a little happier. ## About the Breville BTA720XL The BTA720XL has two extra-wide, deep slots in a brushed stainless steel body. It measures 8.2 inches wide, 11.3 inches deep and 7.3 inches tall, per Breville's US page. A retailer listing gives 900 watts. Two features give it its name. The A Bit More button adds toasting time to a cycle that is nearly done but not dark enough. The Lift and Look lever raises the bread so you can check it, then lowers it to carry on, with no restart. An LED progress indicator shows how far along the cycle is. The controls also include a variable browning slider, a Bagel button and a Frozen button. The crumb tray pulls out from the front and tips into the trash, so you don't lift the toaster. The lever is manual: the bread lowers and lifts by hand, unlike the motorized Breville Die-Cast 2-Slice Smart Toaster BTA820XL. ### Key specs - Capacity: 2 slices, extra-wide and deep slots - Dimensions (W x D x H): 8.2 x 11.3 x 7.3 in - Material: Brushed stainless steel - Power: 900 W (Sur La Table listing) - Controls: Variable browning slider, A Bit More, Bagel, Frozen - Lift and Look: Yes, manual lever - Display: LED progress indicator - Crumb tray: Removable, slides out from the front - Warranty: 1 year (Sur La Table listing); Breville covers defects in materials and workmanship, with proof of purchase ## What owners report about the Breville BTA720XL Owner feedback we could read for this exact model was thin: retailer pages we opened showed review totals but no review text. We have no owner patterns for it that we can report with confidence. What we can say is that the toaster's own features are the draw: the Lift and Look lever, the extra time button and the bagel and frozen settings. Check the lever and the evenness of browning when it arrives, and keep your receipt, since Breville's warranty asks for proof of purchase. ## Who the Breville BTA720XL suits It suits someone who wants a good-looking stainless 2-slice with wide slots for bagels and thick bread, and who likes to check toast mid-cycle and add a little more time. The shade slider and progress light also help if you toast frozen bread often. Look elsewhere if you want a motorized lift: the Breville Die-Cast 2-Slice Smart Toaster BTA820XL lowers and lifts for you. For a lower price, the BLACK+DECKER 2-Slice Toaster with Extra-Wide Slots T2569B has wide slots too. For four slices, the Cuisinart 4-Slice Metal Classic Toaster CPT-180P1 is stainless. The bella Fits-Anywhere 2-Slice Slim Toaster suits a small counter better. ## Questions about the Breville BTA720XL ### How big is the Breville BTA720XL toaster?

Too few review sites cover toasters for their verdicts to lead, so this ranking is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 26 models for this guide before settling on these ten. Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in October 2026.
