Excellent counter-top oven/toaster
Looks great on the counter - has really nice lines that coordinate well with our kitchen appliances. Makes fabulous toast! (and lots of it, when making breakfast for a group - 6 slices at a time is a Godsend) Broiling works wonderfully as well; baking too. There's nothing negative that I can say about this "smart oven." It is expensive compared to other toaster ovens on the market, but it you have the budget for it, it's worth it. I have high hopes for this oven lasting for years...and if it does, it will turn out to be a good value in spite of the price.

This oven is really smart!!!!
I don't have an standard oven in my small cottage and had purchased another table top brand which I did not particularily like due to uneven cooking and toasting. The Breville is a dream come true. I have tried most of the functions and it really lives up to the promotional information.

Forget every other toaster oven
My better half and I really appreciate this toaster oven. It's even smarter than her about times and temperatures. Before we got this model we had gone through the litany of owning several other brands. At first we were skeptical about spending this amount money to have ANOTHER toaster oven that would end up on the junk pile. NOT THIS ONE! We started out using it heat up Trader Joe's frozen pizzas. We told the oven we were heating up a 6 inch frozen pizza. The instructions on the pizza box stated 400º and ten minutes. The oven said fifteen. Trader Joe's was correct. Ten minutes was the right number after the warm up timer said the oven was ready. So we graduated to other items, including baking a pie. Guess what? It worked and now, over a year later it is still working and it is a breeze to keep clean. Mark this down mentally. When your other toaster oven quits, buy this model. We also have a Kill A Watt system and this oven does not use the amount of kilowatts that ours used. Therefore it does save you energy, too. Well worth the money.

We just love this product!
My wife and I use this stove every day and think it is great, There is nothing this product can't do for us. We really like the fact that the broil rack comes out far enought so you donot burn yourself when removing the food.

I rarely need to use my large double ovens now...
I looked for several months for the perfect toaster oven. I wanted an oven that I could use daily for dinners and for frequent cookie baking that would look nice in my kitchen, and not be too large to have on a countertop. It blends in with all of our other stainless steel appliances beautifully. I haven't had to use my regular ovens since I received this. I love every feature it offers and appreciated the bakeware that was included. I especially enjoy that the rack slides out when I open the doorâit makes it very easy to remove the hot dishes. Very user friendly digital temperature settings, and the convection feature does a wonderful job on cooking evenly. Highly recommend this oven.

Good Product
We replaced a very old, but very good toaster over. The design is nice, well thought out and fits well on our countertop. We just recieved the Breville and have only used it a few times - bagels, English muffins (the company the produces the large thick muffins - starts with a "W") and a few frozen snack items. The controls and functionality of the Breville is everything we wanted and easy to use with a makes-sense approach. The additional cookware was a bonus. I also reviewed the cookbook, which provides some very appetizing meal suggestions, which I hope to take advantage of real soon.

Really enjoying my new oven--so far, it has been great--haven't had it too long yet.
Great service--came in a very short time.

This oven does exactly what I wanted it to do & that is keep me from heating up the kitchen. I have tried every feature application (& there are many) & the results have been just as if I had used my large oven.
Worth every penny & not too obtrusive on my kitchen counter! Sorry I waited so long to invest.
