We've had the Breville Smart Oven for 11+ years and it's still going strong. Our Breville toaster died years ago, so we just make toast in the oven now and it works perfectly.

[@donyee8970]

We got one for out wedding 8 years ago. We use it daily and it's still going strong. My only qualm is that it's hotter towards the front. It's easily fixed by rotating what we bake 180°.

[@tk45440]

When i bought my first house, my mother got the breville for me. About 10-11 years later the fan died. Within that time, I got married, and my wife also fell in love with the smart over, so we replaced it with the same model. It gets used more than our full size oven.

[@alkydah6741]

I got the big brother to this the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro. Air fries, convection oven, roaster, toaster absolutely love it. Haven't used my conventional oven since I don't know when.

[@IntriguedLioness]

A few years ago we had a beach house and I didn't want to build a full kitchen out as it was basically a "beach shack" so we chose a few Breville countertop appliances and they all go strong to this day. I honestly didn't know the name before our first purchase, a juicer, but now I'm aware that it's actually one of the best companies for quality appliances! Who knew??

[@drsev61]

Breville's suck. Just wait until you get the dreaded "E06" error.

[@rich4501]

Never had a toaster oven before. Don’t have a ton of counter space. But I picked up the Breville oven the first time they recommended it. It’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. It preheats in about 4 minutes. It’s just as accurate as my large oven, and it’s convection. It fits a quarter sheet pan perfectly, but I might try to get a bigger one to fit a half sheet pan. Here’s the one and only downside (other than the counter space). After about 6 years, the convection fan is getting a little loud and will probably fail soon. The oven will work without the fan. But I looked online, this is a common problem. Wish they would fix it. I’d still recommend it.

[@janetgerney2094]

I love my Breville! We had a wall oven die, and since we were planning a kitchen remodel we didn't want to repair/replace. Bought a Breville (the exact one tested) and used it as our primary oven for over a year...actually closer to two - thanks Covid pandemic. I'd urge anyone who is considering purchasing a toaster oven to get a Breville. You will NOT be disappointed.

I can attest to the Breville. It's still a workhorse in my kitchen after 12+ years and I use it more than my full-size oven. It's pricier, but from an ROI standpoint, it can't be beat. I've given Breville ovens as presents to family and they were instantly converted.

[@wookyoftheyear]

I got the same Breville Smart Oven based on this recommendation, overall it's worked great. However, over time, oil eventually gunked up around the convection fans, which now makes a loud whirring sound when on. Meanwhile the oven is not designed to be owner-serviceable--the fans are not easily accessible, and the oven as a whole uses clips and pins that are difficult if not impossible to put back together if taken apart. If you're making toast and things that don't splatter it should be fine, and I still use it as a normal toaster oven, but just be warned that if anything fails it's very difficult to address.

[@peggyrbaldwin]

We had problems with convection and loud noises too, but Breville had us send it back. There was a charge, but not anywhere near the cost of the original oven. They sent a brand new oven and it’s been going longer than the original one.

[@ghanus2009]

I'd give Brevell a call. Thy stand behind their stuff.

[@wookyoftheyear]

@@ghanus2009 I bought it on ebay from a private seller, and they don't warranty that. Just the risk of purchasing at a steep discount, so I'm fine with it. Even without convection it works great for my needs, luckily my oven has a convection fan so I don't miss it much.

Many years ago I bought the oven from Breville cause at you audition (at the time on this channel) Breville oven came out with the best performance in all the tests! Thanks for the tip! My oven still working and it is really amazing! Good to know it still at the top of the winners.

[@PamOrl]

I have had the Breville for 5 years. Have not had a single problem. It does everything well - from toast to roasts. It also has a “bump-out” that lets you put an entire 13” pizza or a large dinner plate on the rack. Highly recommend!

[@AlexanderIgnatiev]

I bought a Smart Oven in 2015 along with a DuxTop Gold induction cooker. I've kept it going ever since; replaced a fuse once in a super-simple repair. These two appliances have almost completely replaced my garbage Amana electric range that came with the house when I bought it in 2003. The SmartOven will cook nearly anything, takes the quarter sheet pan like a champ, and is very energy efficient while doing it.

[@wayne00k]

I'm getting ready to buy a new/replacement toaster oven and was surprized to not find my Hamilton Beach x-large oven 31107D as a top contender. This will be my third od this 311 model. It works superbly even for large casseroles. I even make the ATK deep dish pan pizza (10 inch cast iron) every weekend. I do offer these tips for all larger toaster ovens... 1. Use an oven thermometer if actual temperature is important. 2. Use a small pizza tile or small cast iron pan to help stabilize the temperature when putting in a large, cold casserole dish. 3. Use a good timer with alarm and set it to a short time... say 40 min out of an hour. Then rotate the pan/dish/pot and cook for the remainder of time. 4. Take notes on your cooking tiem and temperature settings. Adjust as needed. Most of us cook the same several meals over and over. Cook these according to your notes. 5. When it is hot - put your toaster oven outside and cook your meal while you keep the kitchen cooler.

[@S23K]

I got the Hamilton-Beach model ATK used to recommend and I was extremely disappointed; toast takes forever, if it’s hearty bread like a sourdough it doesn’t brown at all but simply dehydrates, oven temp is well below the setting, the tray that came with it has a convex rectangle for who knows what reason … I could go on. I’m glad they are recommending something else now.

Black & Decker used to make a model that you could attach to the under-the-cabinet, so it was off the countertop: the Spacemaker. We had one for 12 years and only stopped using it because we moved. It was fantastic for its design--from about 2002.

[@purplegill10]

I'm sure it didn't make the cut because of the chicken requirement, but the best toaster ovens I've ever used in my life were from panasonic's "FlashXpress" line. They're infrared ovens so they don't have any preheating time and they're basically like a better version of a microwave.

[@gamesgeargadgets]

I was going to comment on this as well. The FlashXpress really is an excellent toaster oven. I find it a bit odd that they decided to go for the giant “smart oven” type category as opposed to a more traditionally sized toaster oven.

[@jackielinde7568]

Yeah, had a few Oster devices in my house. They all turned out to be lemons. Latest problematic device is a microwave that water/steam has penetrated the coating inside the unit and has rusted. Didn't have that microwave for long before the issue developed.

[@johnhpalmer6098]

I had one of their Oster toasters, bought it in 2017, or 18 and it barely lasted 2 years before it failed completely, not the element itself, but the circuit board and would not always lock the lever when pushed down, nor did it release and the final straw was it caused the toast to begin to catch on fire one morning. I bought a Cuisinart basic white toaster and it's been great, going on 3 years I think now. A major surprise was the cheap toaster I bought in 2005, I think, a red plastic shelled Farberware unit at Big Lots and it toasted toast quite well, and reliably until the heating element finally went on one side of one slot, killing the toaster, never mind it was getting all faded on part of one side from years of exposure to the western sun in my kitchen.

[@kc5077]

I've had an Oster toaster oven and aside from the low price it was terrible. It can't maintain heat very well and my model had the horrible one knob for toast and 60 minute timer, so the toast settings were tiny and hard to set so you don't burn your toast.

If you want a toaster oven that truly replaces an oven then the Breville is still a bargain. If you just want to make toast and reheat stuff then a cheaper oven toaster makes more sense including ones for Breville.

Other oven manufacturers would not provide a part number so you could easily replace a simple item, but would charge you $215.00 to repair a door spring. I expect a fairly expensive appliance to be made to be serviced, to not easily catch on fire (a problem on some) - and I greatly prefer items made in the USA. Currently considering the GE Couture -

After researching the internet, I learned that this was a common occurrence of the Brveille Smart Oven. Do your own homework before investing in a Breville product.

I'm surprised how much I go to your channel when I am getting something for the kitchen or my latest attempt at cooking.

I hope that Air Fryer/Toaster Ovens are on the list of future reviews....this is a more reasonable appliance to have in the kitchen

The convection feature ovens like the Breville is an air fryer.

@@C2C. Sorry not quite......Air Fryer uses more pronounced air flow.....convection air flow not as powerful ...I could be wrong but that's how I see it using both ways

@@mikenyc1589 As I understand it, it depends on the appliance. I use my convection like an air fryer and it works well.

I have a Breville Smart oven, they probably ironed this out, but my oven began to just shut off mid cooking and some have said thermal fuse is issue, not sure about that, but it seems to happen more often than it should with people.

So the most expensive one won 🙄 shocker . What if I don’t have $250 for a toaster . How about a spread , best low to high

[@cherylcooper2838]

I have the DeLonghi and it is fantastic. Pizza needs no preheat and cooks perfect every time just set size and frozen or fresh.

[@amen_ra6926]

You didn't do your standard budget friendly option. Some us aren't willing to drop $200+ just to toast bread and reheat leftovers. I live alone and just need something to toast bagels or english muffins (not 4 or 6 slices) and reheat leftovers. So my use case is pretty basic.

Breville makes the most aesthetically pleasing counter ovens. Especially, their new all-in-one model with the Joule oven app and air fryer.

I love my Breville Smart Oven. I have had it for several years, and it has not given me any trouble. I would recommend it too👍

[@tba1879]

The Breville for me was too expensive, so I bought a Calphalon, which is excellent.

When our stove broke a week before Thanksgiving in 2019 I ordered a Breville smart oven. We love using the Breville so much we never got the oven fixed.

I’ve looking for a toaster oven for awhile. Thank you

[@imeldafresquez1580]

She's great. I was confused about the pans. Thanks for making this oven now soooooo easy.

I got the big brother to this the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro. Air fries, convection oven, roaster, toaster absolutely love it. Haven't used my conventional oven since I don't know when.

[@jeanetteswalberg6166]

I've been using my toaster oven to keep my kitchen cooler in The Hottest Summer Ever. Not exaggerating. Could you please suggest a good toaster oven for a lower price point?

[@DioneN]

I find that different breads toast at different rates, depending probably on the varied amount of sugar and stuff in them. So I watch my toast in the toaster oven pretty carefully to make sure it gets as even as possible. I will Flip and rotate it to make it even. I have the mini breville smart oven.

[@roberthart9886]

My oven has only ever been used to store pots and pans. I have a 1st generation Kalorik Oven/Maxx, French Door oven/rotisserie, which has been upgraded in the 2nd generation. It's a bit to tall for countertop with cabinets. I bought a 3 tier cart for the side of the counter for the Kalorik. Same price as your recommendation, but a lot more for the money

[@sylvainmichaud2262]

I didn't have that much counter space but based on the previous recommendation (same result as this year), I bought the Breville and I haven't regretted it once. It's amazing. Make some space and buy the Breville. It's worth every cent I paid. And I'm borderline poor. It's an investment. If you pay 45 to 75$ but finally don't use it as much as you could, it's not worth it. Not only it works great but, it's also extremely simple to operate. It's function the way everything in our live should be i.e. very simple.

[@francisyang9997]

Where’s the best budget and easiest to clean?

[@suemar63]

I'd gladly give up my microwave oven and use the counter space for that Breville Smart Oven. This was helpful--thank you!

The best Toaster oven to a lot of people is the one they can afford. My grandma used to buy a new Toaster oven every year and use nothing but Toaster ovens. Most people in them days wouldn't give the elderly cridet I suppose maybe because a lot of people didn't have year's to pay their credit card off. But I was always fascinated that she cooked 90 percent of her meals in a Toaster oven. Thank you for the interesting video.

[@randut100]

We bought the Breville pro smart oven 5 years ago and sadly the fan stopped working so its off to buy a new one. We are looking for one that doesn't get hot on the exterior when used. This model gets too hot to touch after using to bake something after about 30 minutes.

How to differentiate nichrome element from quartz element? Can we distinguish it just by looking at it?

[@Lacoux]

We exclusively use the breville smart oven for cooking and heating up leftovers for the past 7 months. Hasn’t failed us yet.

[@PP-rq7ly]

Proctor-Silex is the worse. I was told that's the appliances brand for the immigrants, when I just moved to the US, and they were absolutely right. At least 15-20 years ago, their appliances were very cheap, irons, blender, toasters, you name it. They usually lasted just for a few months, sometimes weeks. I don't know if they improved quality now, though, because I never ever waste my money again with that brand.
