Breville Eye Q toaster watches your bread for perfect toast

Breville’s Eye Q 4-slice toaster uses a heat-resistant optical sensor that watches browning 10 times per second to automatically determine when toast is done. It delivers consistent results across bread types, including frozen slices, with seven browning levels plus an extra bit-more option, and it handles bagels well. It’s easy to clean, priced around $400, and represents a potential leap in kitchen tech, though testers found the browning gradations aren’t perfectly precise.
