Product Features
- This 1800 watt countertop oven has smart features, but takes up less space
- Independent heating elements put the power where it's needed most
- Elements adjust automatically for each of the eight preset functions to deliver the right cooking temperature at the right time
- Presets include: toast, bagel, bake, roast, broil, pizza, cookies, and reheat
- Oven remembers personal preferences
"Similar to the Breville Smart Oven, but in a smaller, more compact design, this 1800-watt oven offers exceptional cooking convenience while taking up less space on the counter. The unit's 3/5-cubic-foot nonstick interior can accommodate a 12-inch pizza or four slices of bread at a time, while its push-button and turn-knob control panel makes it easy to program. Turn the control dial to select the function--options include Toast, Bagel, Bake, Roast, Broil, Pizza, Cookies, and Reheat. The oven's Element IQ ""smart"" sensor technology puts the power where it's needed most to ensure energy-efficient operation. For each of the eight pre-set functions, Element IQ automatically adjusts the power and calculates the cooking time. The time and temperature for the pre-set programs can also be manually adjusted to accommodate individual preferences--the oven will even remember the new settings for next time. Use the second control dial for setting the time (from one minute up to two hours) and for adjusting the temperature (from 120 to 450 degrees F), as well as for selecting the number of slices and for setting the toast shade, from light to dark. The control panel also offers a large start/cancel button, a defrost button for frozen foods, and a temperature-conversion button for recipes with cooking temperatures in Celsius. The oven's easy-to-read backlit LCD screen shows the current function, temperature, and adjustments made--plus it illuminates orange to indicate preheating and cooking, then blue to indicate the end of the cooking cycle. Other highlights include a tempered-glass door, three rack positions, and a front-access removable crumb tray for quick cleanup. Accessories include a 10-by-10-inch enamel baking pan and a 10-by-10-inch enamel broil rack. Attractively housed in coated steel with a strikingly modern design, the countertop oven measures 16-1/2 by 14-1/4 by 10 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty. "

Like just about everyone else in the free world, I grew up with a GE Toast-R-Oven. I cooked everything from toast (of course) to pizza bagels (a great discovery back in the 70s) to TV dinners and even baked fish in it. When the one I received as a gift when I bought my first house finely gave up the ghost, I replaced it with a $100 Hamilton Beach tabletop convection oven could bake a whole loaf of bread, two pies or a meatloaf. It even had a rotisserie with a spit you could impale a chicken on, though I never tested this feature. I used it for several years, and it did everything you would expect of a compact toaster oven- except make toast. The burners were just too far apart.
Enter the Breville. Rather than the mechanical timer and temperature control of the Hamilton Beach (and the GE before it) this unit has fully electronic control that promises to be more accurate in both functions. It can handle (they say) a 12" pizza, and 4 slices of toast. So how does all this work in practice?

As a toaster, it's great. It toasts more evenly than my $20 Target toaster, and the slide out crumb tray makes cleaning easy. Repeatability if excellent, and of course you can watch the bread/bagel/whatever as it toasts, keeping an eye out for burning. It compensates for heat buildup when you toast multiple items in sequence- a major help. Still, for close to $200 you expect more than just toast from a machine like this.
I haven't tried baking a pie yet, but I did do some miniature muffins, and they came out fine. I haven't done any bread yet, as it's just too small to handle a standard loaf of the size I bake. Maybe I can make some buns or rolls in it.
The timer function is a bit annoying in the way it works. You set the time and temperature, and when it comes up to temperature, it starts the countdown. This is fine for frozen pizzas and TV dinners, but less helpful for bakers trying to control the baking environment. I'd prefer something that would come up to temperature and then wait for me to start the timer.
Half the functions on the main knob are for preset cooking programs- like the microwave ovens in lunchrooms that have buttons labeled "soup", "sandwich", and so forth. There's a "cookies" function, but I have dozens of different cookie recipes with different time and temperature settings. This program is useless to me.
So: A great toaster, and a useful oven for baking very small items. It's a little deeper than the old Toast-R-Oven, but still not big enough to handle more than a quarter sheet of cookies or a small pie. Useful, for what it is, but given the price, it's getting close to being a luxury easy bake oven. I think the Breville BOV800XL The Smart Oven 1800-Watt Convection Toaster Oven with Element IQ, which adds convection and a somewhat larger oven is a better deal overall, and if you really want a useful secondary oven, something like my Hamilton Beach 31197R Countertop Oven with Convection and Rotisserie is a lot more flexible.
Followup:
After a little over three months of using this oven, I'm more convinced than ever that this is a superb (if expensive) toaster. Unlike the pop-up toaster on my counter, you can precisely set the actual toasting time- very handy- and you can watch until you get the precise shade of browning you're looking for.

I'm also becoming more favorably inclined to its use as an oven, too. It's still a bit small for most baking uses, but it's big enough for roasting peppers or baking a few potatoes, or even a tiny batch of cookies. I still think the larger version is a better all-around appliance, but for a tiny apartment kitchen this may be a good choice.
Six month update:
I find I've been using this oven more and more for all my toasting and small baking needs- it's even taking over some of the tasks I used to do in my microwave. It's still reliable, easy to maintain, and the accurate electronic timer is a great improvement over the mechanical timers in cheaper ovens in both accuracy and reliability.

If you want nicely browned toast, and you care about practicality and value for your dollar, visit your local Target or Wal-Mart end cap clearance aisle and buy the ten dollar clearance toaster. In the end, two slices of Wonder White will toast really well in that toaster for less energy and maybe even faster.
If on the other hand, you want a solid built, handsome, small oven that does a great job toasting every possible piece of pastry ever invented or will be invented, then the Breville oven is just the right ticket. I think Clair Huxtable would even approve of this appliance.
The genius behind this elegant piece of countertop hardware is taking the microwave oven control concept and translating that into a toaster oven. The controls are super intuitive compared to a microwave. Middle round dial, select what you want to cook (Toast, Bagel, Pizza, Broil, Roast, Cookies, Reheat, and Bake), press or turn the bottom dial to set the options, and bam hit the upper button to start the machine working. Don't like what you did, hit that top button again to stop things. Probably one of the most intuitive oven controls I've ever seen.
This machine is built to last forever. The door handle is a huge substantial piece of stainless steel. When that door opens and closes, it works smoothly and with a satisfying sound. The glass door is full across the entire oven, so those little toasting bagels can't hide from your view. The crumb drawer is also substantial stainless steel and slides in and out very nicely. The exterior is rugged baked dark gray enamel. And those rubber feet are large support the oven perfectly. The enamel broiler pan is NOT non-stick, so line it with aluminum foil; and it is NOT diswasher safe.

There's a really thick owner's manual chock full 'o recipes. Kind of unusual to find a real manual in anything today.
How does it work? We've had a number of inexpensive toaster ovens in the past. In fact we kind of missed them; they are so practical for making open faced sandwiches (tuna melts especially). I've never seen a toaster oven with such even heat, fast warm up time, and practical. I kind of love this oven. Bagels come out heated all the way through with a bit of brown, depending on how you dial up the darkness. For the summer, this is just about the most perfect oven to not heat up the kitchen. There are four IQ quartz-like heating elements inside the oven. Different settings tailor the wattage to each element for the best cooking. There's a total of 1800 Watts of heat available. Two bagels on medium darkness are done in under a minute (ignore the countdown clock, it has a mind of it's own, that setting starts out at 3:45, then quickly jumps to 0:45, and then starts counting seconds). There is a pleasant beep repeated three times to tell you the food is done.
I love the heft of this oven, the whole machine, the door, the controls; and I love how well this works. It is just the right size for a medium sized kitchen. If you have a food processor, a blender, and a Kitchenaid stand mixer, this will fit no problem in your kitchen. Galley kitchens, oh this is just way too big. The whole unit is smaller than a standard microwave.
There's a minor flaw. The single oven rack has no stop. This is kind of problem if you don't pay attention while sliding out a hot rack. Every oven I've ever seen has a limiter so you cannot pull the rack all the way out without wiggling the rack up or down. This one slides out all the way, be very careful. The good news, when the oven is open, the glass door is a great landing place for that rack if it gets out of control.
As with all ovens, the exterior gets hot. The right side, the one with the controls, only gets warm. But the top and left sides get pretty hot; enough that a plastic bread package will melt (guess what almost happened at our house?).

Now here is a really cool trick. The interior is exactly the right size for these foil sheets: Kirkland Signature Premium Quality Food Service ALUMINUM FOIL SHEETS - 500 Count 12" x 10 3/4". Oddly Amazon carries the Kirkland brand - or you can pick these up at your favorite massive club store that is the founder of the Kirkland brand. These sheets fit on the rack, in the broiler pan. Food sits on top of them and then slides out of the oven with no mess. They are a fantastic add to this oven.
The best part of this oven, no more nasty microwave softness to food. You can quickly and easily reheat food. It is a little slower than a microwave, but the food tastes so much better. And there is just no way to melt and brown Swiss cheese on top of tuna on a beautiful bun in a microwave. Viva Tuna Melts!
Breville is a high quality brand. There is a high end kitchen utensil store (WS) that carries most of their line. I own a Breville blender and Panini grill. All are solidly built, have great simple design, and are useful. I would say these are probably better than Cuisinart, except when you get to the ultra high end of Cuisinart. They hit that middle spot between consumer grade and professional restaurant grade.
Do you get the idea that I love this oven? It is expensive. It is beautiful. It does work really well. And frequently you get what you pay for. Now all you have to do Clif, is sneak over to Amazon and order this without Clair finding out.
