I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t properly mastered the dark art of emptying a toaster of the crumbs. My Breville toaster is a 4 slice “Lift and Look” model. It has this crumb tray at the bottom but when I slide it out I invariably see crumbs falling out the bottom as they get caught on something while the slider is being pulled out.
I’ve tried holding the toaster upside down, to get the crumbs out that way, but it doesn’t get them all out. Should I look at other brands of toasters, like maybe a Russell Hobbs?
I’ve also got this Breville electric kettle, which I bought when my then 10 year old Russell Hobbs electric kettle needed replacing. I made the mistake of rushing to the shopping center at the last minute, so I had to rush to make a choice. The Breville electric kettle works fine but the lid isn’t made of that black material that the lid of my old Russell Hobbs kettle was made of. Rather, it’s the same metal as the rest of the electric kettle, but with a clear window on the top. The result being I’ve occasionally almost burnt my finger when I’ve touched the lid as it gets hot in the same way the rest of the kettle does (it’s got this button on the handle that opens the lid). I didn’t have that problem with the lid on my old Russell Hobbs kettle.
I don’t know what to make of Breville. Their products seem well made and long lasting but I’ve wound up finding some albeit small fault with the items I’ve bought.
