Our Verdict

Breville the 'A Bit More' 2 Slice

Breville the Eye Q 850 Auto 2 Slice

The Breville the Eye Q 850 Auto 2 Slice and the Breville the 'A Bit More' 2 Slice are both good options, but they have different strengths to consider. The Eye Q toasts faster, which helps bread retain moisture, so it stays soft and moist in the center. This model is also much better at containing crumbs, so you don't have to clean them off your counter very often. The 'A Bit More' toasts more evenly, so each slice is uniformly browned on both sides, regardless of which slot you use. It's also better at toasting only one side of a bagel.
