Our Verdict

Breville the 'A Bit More' 4 Slice

Breville Die-Cast Smart Toaster

The Breville the 'A Bit More' 4 Slice is a better choice than the Breville Die-Cast Smart Toaster. Both of these long-slot toasters offer plenty of capacity for a variety of bread types, and lots of quality-of-life features to make everyday toasting more convenient. However, the 'A Bit More' 4 Slice toasts faster and more evenly, leaving each side more similarly toasted and providing more consistent toasting slot-to-slot. It also contains crumbs better, making it easier to keep your counters tidy.
