Title: Very nice. Recommended. No problems.
Review: It's described as a "mini" oven, but it's actually pretty big, imo. It's the biggest toaster oven I've ever owned. It's just the right size for our small kitchen. It gets rather hot, so you need at least a couple of inches on each side. The controls are a little complicated at first but easy to learn. Some of the settings are quite useful, for example, the "bagel" settings gives regular toasting on top along with mild heat on the bottom, so the exterior of the half bagel doesn't burn. There's a lot of flexibility with the settings. With my old toaster oven, it was basically just on or off, with a timer. This offers a lot more options. It's a little expensive, but still good value for the money.

Title: Best mini oven ever!
Review: Over the last 50 years, I have owned multiple toaster ovens. There just simply handy for small baking/broiling without heating your large oven. Especially great for kids toasting small baked goods. Having purchased many of these in the past, I've noted that they really don't last that long and have poor heating elements and are hard to clean. I began an extensive Google search to identify the best small counter top oven and this item consistently appeared as the number one recommendation. I realize its more expensive than most of the others but I liked the fact that it had four heating elements and a ceramic lining for easy cleaning.My research paid off and this is the best, easiest to use oven I've ever owned. The heating, timer and ease of use is just perfect. Now I have never used this type of oven for simple toast as I believe a regular toaster is best for that, but I do toast sandwiches in it and its great. I'm glad I spent a little more as this appears to be of such good quality that it will likely outlast two or three of the cheapy ovens.

Title: Mini = Nice Compact Size
Review: I have only owned the Breville Mini Smart Toaster Oven, Brushed Stainless Steel, BOV450XL for roughly a month but so far I'm very happy with the function and ease of operation. Several reviews that I read prior to purchase noted an annoying elongated plug, which seemed a useful design with a finger hole to help remove the plug from the wall rather than simply yanking via the wire. The new plug (see photo) is a much better design with a flange for easy gripping and a flush mount configuration. Nice improvement. The control knob works well and is a continuous turn that lets you change functions in either direction or continue all the way around. Each setting seems to remember the last setting which is very handy. Some reviews noted that the power would seem to come on randomly when not in use so I simply leave it unplugged at night or when I am not at home - no problems there. It is a perfect countertop size and I do not use it as a replacement for my full size oven, but it toasts and broils and reheat very well and very quickly. And predictably! NOTE: If the crumb tray does not fit then you are trying to put it in upside down (like I did). It looks nice and the controls work well, and as noted in the instructions, it lights up and quietly beeps when first powered up and then goes to sleep. It is 3 times the price of the simple toaster oven (that failed) that it replaced but I hope that I can get as much life out of it. So far very pleased and will likely up to 5 stars after using for a while.

Title: Just about perfect
Review: I got this oven thinking it would be handy for single servings of cookies and occasional sandwiches. I figured I used use it a couple of times a month, for minor jobs. Then I started to play with it, and now it's almost completely replaced my full-size oven.I'm cooking for two, and this oven is perfect for roasting two servings of fish or chicken, making 8 cookies, baking a potato and pan of vegetables, and even making a 9x5 inch loaf of banana bread or pound cake. I can make dinner and dessert entirely in this oven and avoid getting the stove dirty or heating up the whole house with the regular oven.It's also a lot faster than the regular oven, preheating in just a couple of minutes. I have to reduce cooking times and/or temperature slightly from the recipes, so you might want to keep an eye on your recipes while you figure your best adjustments.I do find that the dark pan that comes with the oven over-browns everything, though, especially cookies. I ended up buying an aluminum pan that I'm still evaluating, but hope it will work.I also find that this size oven is really hard to find accessories for. The 10x10 inch pan size (recommended by Breville for good air flow) is extremely hard to find, so accessory options are limited. But it's otherwise a really great addition to the kitchen, and could completely replace a full oven in a pinch.

Review: I’ve been using the Breville BOV450XL Mini Smart Oven for a few weeks now, and it has completely transformed my cooking routine. Its compact size fits perfectly on my kitchen counter, but don’t let the small footprint fool you—it’s packed with functionality!Key Highlights:Element IQ Technology – This feature truly sets it apart from other mini ovens. The smart heating elements adjust automatically for precise toasting. I find this particularly useful when toasting brioche and bagel. There is an evenness that you don't get with traditional toasters.Multiple Cooking Functions – I love how versatile this oven is. It has 8 different functions, including toast, bake, broil, roast, and reheat. I can even bake a small batch of cookies without having to fire up my full-size oven!Fast and Efficient – It preheats quickly, and I’ve noticed that it cooks food faster than my traditional oven. Great for when I’m in a rush or just need a quick snack.Compact but Spacious – It may be a mini oven, but the interior space is surprisingly large. I can fit 4 slices of toast or a 9-inch pizza, which is perfect for my needs.Easy to Clean – The non-stick interior and removable crumb tray make cleaning up a breeze. I don’t have to worry about a mess after cooking.Minor Con: It gets hot on the exterior, so you need to be careful when handling it, but that’s expected with any toaster oven.Overall, the Breville BOV450XL Mini Smart Oven is a fantastic addition to any kitchen, especially if you’re looking for a space-saving appliance that doesn’t compromise on performance. Highly recommended for small households or anyone wanting to simplify their cooking routine!

Review: Simplemente maravilloso, facil de usar, facil de limpiar, el tueste es perfecto, el pan huele como recien hecho, calienta los alimentos uniformemente. Estoy mas que feliz con este horno tostado.habia tenido de otras marcas, pero no se comparan a la velocidad y calidad de este aparato. Tengo el horno grande, de la misma marca, pero se me hacia mucho prenderlo por dos panes y la parrilla y el tostador de pan son buenos pero el sabor que tienen tus alimentos horneados en este aparato no puedo describirlo, Tanto el el tostador como en la parrilla me costaba que el Bagel quedara bien tostado, lo sentia masudo, o chicloso, pero ahora puedo hacer mis tostadas de bagel o de cualquier otro pan tan cruijientes y deliciosas como yo quiera. No imaginas lo facil que se hacen mis desayunos desde que lo compre.

Review: Este hornito no tiene nada que ver con las demás marcas. Es la calidad de un verdadero horno, solo que pequeño. Sí, es muy caro, pero para mi sí vale la pena ya que me gusta cocinar. El tostado del pan es único, queda en un punto perfecto. El horno no achicharra de pronto; tiene muchas modalidades para diferentes alimentos y todos hasta ahora funcionan de manera excelente

Review: I have been using this toaster oven for over two years, so I think I am now in a position to write a review on it. The following is my comments:Price: I did considerable research before I made the purchase. At the time of my purchase, Amazon offered the best price which was at least CAD$20 cheaper than any online stores or retailers in Vancouver.Design: It has a sleek and clean design in matt stainless steel which, I think, will go with any classic or contemporary kitchen design. The interior matt stainless steel and the sliding crumb tray make cleaning easy and convenient. The control panel has a user-friendly design, and the function dial, LCD screen and buttons for various settings are all large and easy to read and use. The LCD screen indicates if the oven is preheating, and when it reaches the pre-set temperature, the cooking time will start counting down automatically throughout the cooking cycle. It is almost a fool-proof design!Functions: We use the Toast function almost every day. It can toast up to 4 slices of bread at a time and the browning settings range from 1 to 7 (the darkest). However, I have never made a toast with browning setting higher than 3 and it usually takes no more than 2 minutes to brown a toast to my desired crispiness. The Bagel function is good for toasting bagel, or reheating a pizza or open sandwich as it gives out higher temperature to the top without burning the bottom of the toast.Before the Bake, Roast, Reheat and Pizza functions operate, it first starts at the pre-heating mode. This mini oven takes quite a short time to preheat and can reach a temperature of 425F within just 3 minutes. This saves a lot of energy compared to my conventional oven.The Broil function does not require preheating and therefore makes it a great helper in my cooking. This is particular helpful when you do stir-frying and want to sear certain ingredients, such as fish or meat slices, before mixing them with other ingredients which require just quick stir-frying. I never use my conventional oven for searing because it will cost so much time and energy for preheating.My limited experience with the Pizza function is not particularly good because it tends to make the pizza crust too dry and hard. Perhaps I just need more practice. This oven is large enough for a 10 inch pizza.Special notes:The 'A Bit More' button is a super design and we use it all the time! If the food is not yet cooked to our desired liking at the end of the cooking cycle, we press this button to add just a bit more time to continue the cooking cycle. For example, by pressing the button once, it adds 30 seconds to Toast, 2 minutes to Broil, and 5 minutes to Bake, etc. I can use this button anytime during the cooking cycle or immediately after.This oven has three rack positions where you can place the wire rack. In the manual, it suggests the top position for Broil. I must say that I have never used the top position for any function because this will leave your food very close to the top heating element and you will get it burnt easily for whatever function you use. Similarly, when I use the bottom rack position for Bake or Roast, I sometimes find the bottom of the food a bit too dark. I cannot use the middle rack position for Bake or Roast because the overall interior height is just about 4.5 inches and there is not enough 'height' to move around some food, such as a medium-sized potato or yam. If I were to redesign it, I would just spread the interior height of the oven evenly into two rack positions so that in either rack position, the food will not be too close to the heating element.This mini oven has quite a loud and sharp beeper and it sounds once every time you press any button and three times at the end of the preheating or cooking cycle. I find it a bit annoying, but over time have got used to it. I mentioned it because it might be a nuisance to other members of your household if your kitchen is near a study room or bedroom.Finally, I need to mention that the top of the oven can get very hot during its operation and it sometimes warm up my upper kitchen cabinet a bit. Therefore you need to make sure that there is sufficient clearance between the top of the oven and your upper cabinets. Also, when I Bake or Roast, I would pull the oven a bit away from the backsplash so that the oven is not directly under the upper cabinets. I can also 're-direct' the heat by placing a plate or a cooked dish on the top of the oven and use it as a warming tray.Conclusion: My husband and I both agreed that this was one of the best small appliances we had purchased. What we thought would be used primarily for making toasts or reheating leftovers has turned out to be a great helper in my everyday cooking. I gave it 5 stars even though there is room for improvement. If there was the choice, I would have given it four and a half stars. This Breville Mini Smart Oven is the smallest one in its series and it also comes in two other sizes. I highly recommend this mini oven to small households and would advise bigger households to consider the larger ones. By coincidence, my sister-in-law has been using the largest one for more than two years for her growing family.

Review: I like the size. It has both top and bottom coils. It’s a great alternative to a big oven. Sometimes I like to melt cheese on toast, but I don’t want to waste energy heating a full-sized oven. This one is perfect for small amounts of bread. It heats up quickly, is of good quality, and is easy to use.

Customers say
