BALMUDA The Toaster | Steam Oven Toaster | Compact Size 14.1" W x 12.6" D x 8.2" H | 5 Cooking Modes: Sandwich Bread, Artisan Bread, Pizza & Pastry, Oven | Baking Pan Included | US Version | Gray

The best thing in toasters my family has ever experienced. It's just level beyond their competition. Also, this seller is great. When ordering I've forgotten to ask for Eu power plug, so seller contacted me to change this in order. Overall, great product, and best experience with seller on Amazon ever.

We are very happy with this toaster after 10 days of use, with a lot of experimentation for toasting time and toasting function. It is amazing that bread which has been sitting in the freezer for a couple months, comes out as fabulously fresh toast because of the steaming function. That alone is worth the price. We also made grilled cheese sandwiches in a few minutes, reheated, pizza, dehydrated homemade biscotti, warmed and puffed up croissants and more. I include a picture of my set up with measuring cup and a small plastic bottle to hold distilled water. You don’t have to use distilled water, but over time tapwater will leave mineral deposits inside the oven heater. Having the water near the oven is super convenient and the Lab style pipette makes it easy to squirt off 5 cc. The oven is very high-quality design and manufacture. I read reviews on this in many places, and I’m glad that I ignored the overdramatic critiques.

I bought this to replace my original Balmuda I purchased in 2018 from Japan. It's pretty close to what I got, the available settings are not the same. This version doesn't come with the "top or 1 sided" toasting option. Which is too bad. But it does come with the extra tray which my original didn't come with. My old one I scored 10/10, this version I'd score 9.5/10/

I wanted to LOVE this toaster. I LOVE the small footprint, the way it looks and the controls. Unfortunately, it simply doesn't toast - anything. It takes at least 10 minutes to get any color on a piece of sourdough, cut 1 cm thick. The upper element, only stays on for a few seconds at a time, then it goes dark, it takes forever. Though I use water as directed, my toast is very crunchy, not soft and moist in the center, I think because it takes so long to brown, to get ANY color at all. I've also tried toasting store bought sandwich bread, bagels, pastries etc... For general heating, it is fine, but it simply does NOT toast. There is no browning in under 10 minutes, for anything. I am SO incredibly disappointed. This was a complete waste of money - arguably a lot of money for a toaster. I'm looking for a replacement as I'm tired of subpar toast.

This can bake bread, heat up, toast precisely as I wished. I think I made one of the best investment in the 5 years.
