My Breville Toaste Oven, which is an MVP in my kitchen died. First, the convection fan failed. Then, the unit failed to power. At a replacement cost of $270. Of course you know that I scoured the internet and YouTube in particular to find videos on how to fix. I was reay. Heck, I even bought the fuse for it.
I then headed over to ebay. I found a used one, free shipping, and I made an offer on it. The pictures showed that it was cleaner than the one I have (~10yrs old). So I saved a couple of hundred dollars (so long as I'm not disappointed with the condition.
I've generally had good luck on Ebay. I have only had to ask for credit twice. Once because a pair of binoculars I bought were stated as "like new" when in fact the lenses had striations from improper cleaning. Optics were fine, but it was not "like new". The seller and I worked it out. The second time was something that was packaged so poorly it had a sensitive end sticking out (phone video holder) that was broken and unusable. The seller offered me a generous credit without my naming a dollar amount.
I love that Breville Toaster Oven. It is the first Breville appliance I have ever owned. It is smartly designed, pleasing to the eye and has many useful features...all of which I use. Because it is a larger size, you can easily cook a smaller meal without heating up the big oven.
The Breville is dead. Long live the Breville. May it come soon.
