Toaster of my dreams
I’ve been saving up for this toaster since it came onto the US market. I’ve been getting by with my Breville counter oven that also toasted bread/bagels but this toaster was everything my husband thought we didn’t need. Even admitted to loving it. We’ve been making bread weekly and it truly brought out the best in our homemade artisanal bread. If you ever stood and watched the toaster work, the browning doesn’t happen until the last segment of toasting. Each slice comes out perfectly moist but crunchy, what you expect toast to actually taste like. It’s easy to use, directions/heating times are conveniently written on top so you don’t have to keep the manual handy. The timer will turn off automatically after a few seconds once complete. The size is perfect a top our buffet/coffee area and just looks so aesthetically pleasing next to our Balmuda The Kettle sister. I cannot wait until the Balmuda Oven comes to US market and voltage because that is next on our list.

Pricey, but if you really like bread, this is it
Had it since early 2022. Makes average sliced bread with butter amazing, makes all other baked good the best version of themselves you can have at home. Soft and moist on the inside, crispy on the outside. Also fun to watch.A couple of minor things Balmuda should fix in the next version:- The back of the oven char more than the front.- Slightly bigger to accommodate more general use counter top oven needs.

Nicest toaster I’ve ever used (update after 3.5 years – just died)
ORIGINAL REVIEW: Just received it and made my first piece of toast, and wow, I’m glad I got this thing. If you’re looking for the Lamborghini of toasters, this is it.The steam feature is actually pretty cool – I think it makes a difference in making the bread a bit more gooey on the inside. Then it browns the outside perfectly, and wow.I often toast either homemade or artisan sourdoughs, and I already know it’ll be better to have something that easily accommodates toast of any thickness.The price is freakin high, but if you’re ok paying a premium to have the best toaster out there, then this is it.The unit seems very well made. Im excited to show this to my family and friends!Status update after one week: I’ve made toast roughly 10 times and am totally loving this thing. It’s so awesome. Really glad I splurged on a nice one.Status after 6 months: This thing is freakin incredible. I just ate three pieces of toast and said to myself, yet again, that this thing is WAY better than any other normal toaster. My wife and I are really glad we got this over a normal slot toaster, and the whole steam thing is actually true – the toast is consistently moist and soft on the inside, with a toasty and crunchy layer on the outside. It’s seriously the perfect toast. I love this thing and would highly recommend it to anyone with enough spare cash to afford it. Yes, it’s expensive. But I’m very glad I got it.Update after a year: I continue to absolutely love this thing. SO GLAD that I made the investment.Update after 3.5 years: It finally died on me. It was toasting and then died half way through, and now it won’t turn on. I spoke with customer support and it’s out of warranty and they offer no repairs, so I’m taking it apart to see if I can fix it. Even if I can’t, I’m still gonna buy a new one; they’re just that good.

Makes good toast
I have enjoyed using this much commended toaster. It is a very good toaster, and it does help revive frozen and day old bread. It is not a miracle worker. It’s expensive for what it does, but a nice luxury to have.One big negative – it’s not a particularly good toaster oven. Time and temperature setting are very limited and the internal space is small. Most of the time, I’m just looking to make toast. But when I need a toaster oven, I get the old one out of the pantry.

worth the $$$
Holy moly! best toast I have ever made. I did a comparison taste test with the Balmuda toaster vs my cheapie $60 toaster oven. you can really taste the difference in the toast with the texture and the moistness of the inside of the toast. hands down Balmuda blew my other toaster out the water. so happy with purchase.packaged really well. it was packed in a box within another box and then the amazon box. so much cardboard to recycle now. what I don’t like is the styrofoam to house the toaster in the box. but that’s just a personal preference. the cord is in the back and a little short but doesn’t bother me. I cleaned the rack, oven tray and the 5cc cup. placed the rack into the oven, then the toast and push the on button and set to 3.5mins for my toast. toast came out perfect (toasty crust outside and soft & moist inside). I want to test a stale bread since I heard it rejuvenate a dead toast back to life. next test!during the toasting phase, I felt around the toaster to see how much heat it gives off. my old toaster was hot throughout so i had to be mindful of the placement of the toaster to not damage the wall, things near the toaster, etc. Balmuda only felt warm so that was another thumbs up point to me. be mindful of the capacity and the measurements. but I knew what I was getting so no complaint on my part. I never understand how someone would buy a product without knowing the measurement and then go write a bad review complaining about the measurements/capacity of a product. like dude, it is your fault…I got the black color one. Love the simple sleek modern design and goes well with my place. the price is a little steep but if you’re a toast/bread/pastry lover, this will be a purchase you won’t regret. Recycling my old toaster now because it just got replaced!

El horno funciona bien pero a los 3 meses de uso la puerta dejo de cerrar por completo y se cae al menor movimiento. No espero que pase esto por el precio.

Was not happy at first with the color as it’s not white but after a few weeks it grew on me and now I absolutely love it. Sellers are responsive and very helpful. Toaster could be a tad bit bigger but over satisfied. Would purchase more for family.

Why are you selling US voltage against amazon marketplace rules?

Reasonable footprint on the countertop. Clear instructions. Works exactly as is intended. If you love to bake this is an incredible asset in your kitchen. If you buy baked goods and don’t use them before they dry out…. This is a great product. Used it on croissants, bagels, rye and knots.

Love it. Perfect every time. Really pricey but I have toast every morning and this makes the best toast.
