Masterful design

This product is a real treasure for those looking to save space and yet do all the things that a large traditional oven can do. Actually, it does more than any traditional oven. It's preset cooking cycles are easy to set and also can be adjusted to any time or temperature you want. Reached cooking temperature way faster than a traditional oven. Of course, the trade-off is that it only fits small amounts of food: about 10" x 11" x 5". However, it has 3 rack positions. And, Yes, it gets very hot to touch - but apparently this is a necessity for a toaster oven because every one I researched gets hot enough on the outside to burn your hands. Controls are intuitive; visual and audible signals are pleasing; digital operation is accurate. My only complaint is not about the oven, but about the broil and bake pan set. Embarrasingly CHEAP!. Supposedly porcelain, but warns not dishwasher safe. Comes with factory blemishes from the far-off manufacturing and coating process; made with dangerously sharp rims that can easily slice your flesh. Recommendation: Buy this product, toss out the pans; buy Chicago Metallic mini broil/roast set (10" x 7" x 1 3/4") and another quality 9 to 10" square bake pan - all for about $25 extra!

Love this thing

I used to expect that a toaster oven had two practical modes: on or off. This one has opened my eyes. The "smartness" of it is real. The different mode settings really do different things to accurize the results. For instance, the bagel setting toasts the top a lot more thoughtfully than the bottom, so you get the satisfying crunchiness just where you want it. The very first thing I tried to test it out, was a half turkey breast-- it couldn't have come out better. Ironically, I've discovered over the years, that the hardest job for a toaster oven is to make toast properly. This one can actually do it. It will take in to account it's own starting temperature, so that the second round of toast won't be over done because the oven was pre-heated. That's something that my fancy stainless steel Cuisinart traditional toaster can never get right. So now I don't need two machines anymore--the traditional toaster goes bye bye.

Circuit breaker

Bought this on Black Friday, unboxed after Christmas. It worked on the initial Pizza setting (as directed to burn off residue, automatic 15 minutes) and we used it a few times afterward for toast. Then all of a sudden we couldn't use it. Every time we tried it would pop the circuit breaker, so we plugged the old one back in at the same spot and the old one works just fine. I verified nothing else was drawing on the same circuit -- and since it worked for a few days, I do not believe it is my house wiring. Back it goes. Glad for the extended holiday returns! Edit to correct my previous review: I subsequently did discover an electrical problem with my house wiring.

I love this little oven!

This model was top rated by Consumer Reports and so I took a chance and purchased it and glad I did! It fits nicely on my very limited counter space. It is allot larger than I thought it would be and the smaller size is sufficient for my needs. It is made well and isn’t flimsy. My chicken and salmon came out perfect and juicy. I toast heavy whole grain frozen breads. After pushing the frozen button and then start, it takes approximately five minutes to defrost and toast. The toast came out perfectly crispy and evenly browned. I haven’t had this quality in toasting bread since I lived at home with my parents and used their 1940’s model toaster that never died. Believe me, I have had many modern day toaster fails. No need for a toaster now and by tossing out mine, it freed up more counter space. I don’t eat bagels and so I have no experience toasting them in this oven, but I can’t imagine why they wouldn’t come out perfect as well. The 12 inch pizza pan is sold separately and fits perfectly. Can’t wait to try it. This oven is easy to use and easy to clean. The outside of the oven does get hot which isn’t a problem for me, but if you have young children that help in the kitchen, be aware and be careful. I love not having to heat up my full sized oven to make smaller meals. This oven has the capability to do all things my large oven can do? There are rubber bumpers on the back to keep the oven a safe distance from walls and back splashes. It’s too early to know how long this will last. Fingers crossed it lasts me a very long time.

great little oven

After unpacking 3 different boxes to get to the oven and making room for it on my counter, the oven did not work. I wondered if I was doing something wrong so I called Breville to make sure that I had done everything right. The rep. was super nice and told me that it was indeed the oven and not me, and told me to return it to Amazon for a quicker replacement. Within 2 days I had a new oven, and it is super! Very easy to operate, everything comes out of it just as tasty as can be and I don't have to light my big oven to bake a couple of potatoes. So far, it does everything I want it to and with ease.

LOVE this oven!

Upon learning the negative health effects of microwave ovens, we decided to get rid of ours and hoped that this Breville would take up all the functions of our microwave. We've been using it for a year now daily, and have been delighted with its quality and function! It seems these days that many small appliances are built to break down and need replacing, and that was true of our last counter top oven. But I researched deeply and am so glad I tried out this brand as it lives up to its claims to be a great small oven! We mostly use it to: toast bread daily, heat up leftovers, melt cheese, cook smaller meals (roasting and baking work great!). The oven itself is (refreshingly) high quality stainless steel, as is the pan and broiler pan that fit in the oven. I use the main pan every day, and it still cleans easily with mild soaking. I find the functions of the oven easy to navigate. My husband and I are of retirement age, this oven is the perfect size for our needs. I often will roast a large amount of vegetables and meats in the oven once a week, and/or stir fry or boil on the stove, then use this oven daily to reheat for each meal. When I want to cook for one or two meals, this oven is perfect to use instead of the big oven. The crumb tray is stainless, doesn't stain, and is easy to clean. This oven cost more than other ovens but is well worth the price. I hope the company keeps up the quality of this product for years to come. Highly recommend.

Great performer but not immortal

I've had this toaster oven for 7 years and it performed wonderfully for all that time. It's solidly built unlike most tinny ovens made by other companies and it always baked, toasted and broiled evenly and quickly. But yesterday it finally quit on me. Doing a little research through Google, I found that it's fixable, unlike most small appliances which are throwaways. All that's needed is to replace the thermal fuse, a two dollar part, but that requires some technical skills. Fortunately this in in my wheelhouse and I think it's worth giving it a shot. If the repair fails, I'll probably upgrade to the convection model. The newer version has an interior light as well which is another nice feature.

Great intermediate size toaster oven

Breville is one of those companies--sadly, fewer and fewer each day--that seems to have hit the perfect balance of price, features and above all, QUALITY. I had a Breville toaster for years; it looked and worked like a champ, flawlessly, for years. I decided to get a toaster oven to replace the Kraps--sorry, Krups--toaster oven that died within weeks of purchasing it. And then finding out there were no local repair centers in one of the top five US metro areas; I would have to send it to Krups repair on the east coast at my expense...right. I will NEVER buy another Krups product as long as I live. But I digress. I naturally looked for a Breville toaster oven and came up with this nice intermediate size model. It has been a dream. Nice clean design, even toasting and heating, easy to clean, visual controls that don't look like an alien language...everything about it is a pleasure to use. I highly recommend this or other similar Breville appliances based on my experience. Well built, intelligent design and durable. Dear Krups: You should find out how Breville does it and change your business model. Your current one isn't working.

My wife really likes this Breville Compact Smart Oven.

I Ordered this as a surprise for my wife. Her last toaster oven recently went to the appliance yard in the sky and she had mentioned that she wanted another toaster oven, but not a cheapie that are sold at the local stores. After research, I found this Breville Compact Smart Oven and ordered it as a surprise for my wife. Imagine her surprise when it arrived, only to be immediately followed by disappointment that there was damage to the shipping box and it transferred to damage to the oven right in the center of the rear and top of the oven. I contacted Amazon immediately and they shipped a replacement which we had in just a few days. I returned the damaged oven the same day i received it. The return process couldn't have been easier. My wife is very pleased with this oven's consistency and it's ease of use. It's also a very good looking appliance. We were in Best Buy recently and they had the same oven at a price $90 higher than what I paid Amazon. Check out the plug on the cord, another indication that Breville is paying attention to how their product is actually used. Impressive. The oven is well made, is an attractive appliance and has the look, feel and function of a quality appliance. We have now used it for about a month and my wife uses it now instead of the big oven for many meals. This is one of those purchases which I looked forward to receiving and am now glad I spent the money. This is heads and shoulders above a Black and Decker or other similar low price point toaster oven. The size is also perfect to be left out on the counter in the corner where my wife wanted it kept. If I could, I would give this 6 stars. Well, in a way, I guess I can ******.....

This is faster and does a great job. My bread

Update 3/19/18. I'm getting E01 on the screen and you cannot use. I did unplugged and it worked again. An upgrade to my older B&D toaster oven. This is faster and does a great job. My bread, bagel and Ego waffles comes out perfect! It's a lot faster too! Draw back is 4 slices at a time. My old one has 2 trays which I can put in 8 slices but mind you, that takes longer to toast and it's uneven. Very happy that I upgraded. After seeing one of these on the store, seems like a better price here so I purchase it. The controls are okay and I had to read the manual. Not as straight forward as I would like but I got use to it. The clean tray is easy to take out and clean. Door handle is nice and opens nicely but it does slams when you close, so hold it and don't let go. Size is about the same as old one and much better quality. Step up to this has more features, but for me who just use it for bread, bagel and waffles, this is great upgrade! Although, this has more features that I would ever use, I might use it someday. Maybe I'll try frozen pizza, hope it fits though. Interior seems small.
