Our Verdict

Dash Clear View Long Slot

Breville Die-Cast Smart Toaster

The Dash Clear View Long Slot delivers better toasting performance than the Breville Die-Cast Smart Toaster, but the Breville offers some quality-of-life features that may sway you. Get the Dash if having evenly-browned toast batch after batch is your priority. If you need more capacity or you're more interested in high-end quality-of-life features, consider the Breville. While the Dash has a glass panel that lets you keep an eye on your bread as it toasts, it doesn't have a cycle countdown indicator like the Breville. The Breville also includes a 'Lift and Look' button, which raises the slots mid-cycle so you can check out toasting progress away from the glow of the heating elements, and a button that adds a little time to the end of a toasting cycle.
