Breville - Smart Oven Convection Toaster/Pizza Oven - Silver

I have been looking for a Good Toaster Oven for a while. This is So Much More you can cook anything in this Great Oven =) 5 Star Rating!!! Fast Easy and Beautiful. Jeff M Hom Vacaville CA

I have had my eye on convection toaster ovens for more than 4 years. I had been considering the Cuisinart for several years. Either the TOB-195 or the TOB-155. I own quite a few Cuisinart appliances but did not want to get stuck on a brand. A good example is the excellence of Samsung top tier TVs, but their DVD/Blu-Ray players have terrible reliability issues. Okay, what changed my mind? The fact that the digital control goes out on the Cuisinart. In addition, reviewers complained about the lackluster toasting on the Cuisinarts and how difficult to use the digital controls on the top of the line Cuisinarts. I had owned a Bosch convection oven previously that did an excellent job until the door hinges wore out. So, why the Breville? It is a solid and well built machine. The function controls are easy and intuitive to use. Once you set the function and time it preheats rather quickly and begins to bake, toast, etc. When the timer goes off, it shuts down. I really like this feature. No worries on burning your food accidentally. It does beep rather loudly when the timer ends to alert you. I have baked cookies, frozen foods, Hot Pockets and frozen pizza. All of these tasks it performed well. It does tend to cook rather quickly as other reviewers have noted. I have adjusted my cook temp by 25 to 50 degrees less depending on what I am cooking or I just reduce the cook time. The user guide is very helpful in this regard. If you use it, you won't over cook your food. I absolutely love this appliance. It is rated by other reviewers as the best countertop convection oven and I agree. The price is a little high by $50; it retails for $249. But that did not stop me from buying it. And if you want a top of the line appliance to exceed your expectations, this unit will do it. As far as concerns about this unit failing, just buy the Geek Squad protection, I did.

Never tried the Breville brand before, always been a Black & Decker, Kitchen Aid, Cuisinart customer. That has all changed since we bought our first Breville Smart Oven. It's made extremely well, and designed to fit perfectly with our other Stainless appliances. Finally a door that opens smoothly and feels solid and rugged. The "smart controls" operate easily, it took no time to become accustomed to operating this oven. The toasting is perfect each time, once you've made your desired settings, it remembers what you did before. The controls are very intuitive and flexible for any cooking task. We've had the oven over a month now, and we really like it alot. The price was a little intimidating at first, we got a $10 gift card when we made the purchase. The cheaper ovens we've been buying just didn't last, always had various problems with the quality and construction. You really do get what you pay for...spend a little more and get quality and convenience. The convection feature is a must for an oven. Many features with this unit, also got non-stick trays, standard rectangular and a pizza one. This oven has a superb crumb tray that slides out very easily, and is very well designed. It doesn't warp with high heat; broil and toasting. This oven is very easy to keep clean. Non-stick interior. You'll be glad you bought this oven. Take time to read ALL instructions so you can take full advantage of all the features. ENJOY!!

We do not have a full size oven and were in need of a new toaster oven that cooked things more evenly then our older and smaller B&D one did. At the time, BB had a 20% off small appliances sale. Unfortunately, Breville was excluded, so the high price tag scared us away at first. But after watching their youtube videos, and seeing all the possible things we could cook with it, we couldn't resist. Everything that was cooked in the oven tasted 10x better than it ever has; even frozen pizza tasted delicious. We even tried a pot roast dish from a related youtube video using the same oven and it was amazing. The controls for the oven is an ease. If you can't figure out how to work this oven just by looking at it, then maybe you shouldn't be cooking. As far as anything bad about this oven. None so far, and I have been using it daily for the past month. One thing this oven could use though, like some of the other toaster ovens, is a little interior light. Its a bit hard to see how something is baking at times without opening it and pulling the rack out. Overall, this is a fantastic little toaster oven. For $250, it is at the top of the list, but it was well worth it in my opinion. Definitely a better deal if you have rewards certificates to knock it down 10 or 20 dollars like I did.

You really get what you pay for in this unit - it is very easy to use and does a lot of different things. Of course it toasts but it roasts, bakes, keeps things warm and more. The convection feature is great and cooking times can be reduced a little as well. It has generous capacity and the included baking/roasting pans are very good quality. The user interface is very attractive and easy to use and I would recommend this item to anyone.

I debated buying this for one main reason, price. I wanted something that would allow me, being single, a way to bake, broil, and toast without heating up the kitchen with a full size oven for a small frozen pizza. I really like the convection option, it absolutely speeds up cooking. This oven makes the best toast up to 6 slices at a time, so well in fact that I tossed my old standard 2 slice toaster in the trash. The build quality appears very solid. If it endures like I feel it will, the higher price will justify my purchase.

This toaster is great. I liked the toaster that was in my parents house growing up, so I wanted one in my house when I moved out. My girlfriend was indifferent. I bought this one because I have a Breville Juicer and I know them to be reliable and sturdy. Its a great toaster with many settings and options. In addition to the standard bake, broil, etc., there's a convection option (which cooks the food faster by circulating air) and a frozen button (for cooking items from a frozen state). It would be PERFECT for economy dwellings, places with kitchenettes, or homes without a stove. I do have a stove, but I use it just the same. The only thing I don't like about it is the knobs are plastic... I expected metal for the price and the brand (the Breville Juicer is metal everything). Perhaps its not metal for safety reasons - perhaps it would be too to the touch after its been on for a while? Whatever the reason, the knobs feel too delicate and cheap. Other than that one little cosmetic issue I have... I love it. And my "Indifferent" girlfriend uses it more than I do now. She reheats panninis, and makes small batches of cookies.

After my Sharp Convection Microwave started providing inconsistent results after ten years, I decided to downsize on the Convection oven as cook mostly on my grill. I read the comparisons and decided to bite and try the Breville despite the cost. So far it awesome. Pizza cooks better in this than any other product I have had. One quick note though, the durability rating went down due to the original purchased oven had to be exchanged as the selection knob would only go up, not down.
