This toaster oven is a great investment while it works. I got a couple of years out of it when the door stopped closing all the way. After a few days of frustration i gave up for a few weeks. Watched some youtube repair videos and got the door closing after taking the off. A real pain especially for such an expensive product. Very common issue, rail that guides door warps with time, i assume its a heat issue. Timer stopped working soon after, toaster heats up to temp and shuts off. Kinda made everything but toaster oven feature useless. More Youtube video shows a switch the the door engages to start isn't being engaged as a result of a door not engaging a bracket upon closing. I adjusted (bent/unbent) until I heard click engaging. Worked once or twice, but timer is useless, so cooking is impossible. I don't want to open it a third time, since the first two weren't that fun.Don't buy this unit. works just past warranty and then it becomes landfill.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear of your experience. We will send a separate email to you and hope you will give us the opportunity to correct the situation.
We've had this air fryer for about two now, and we literally use it every day. I love it most as an air fryer, but all the other functions have been awesome too. The price was very reasonable considering how much this thing does and how pretty it is.
It's the greatest! I've used it so much already and I've had it only a month. My favorite feature is the dehydrator. I have used that feature multiple times for different things. You can't go wrong with it!
I bought this oven two years ago and type this review after using it well.
The product does what it is supposed to do with every feature used. I am dissapointed by the failure of the fan after one year of heavy use on super convection setting. Fan stops spinning. It makes loud noise if trying to get fan working. As a comparison, my previous convection toaster oven worked as well as this Breville unit. The display on the unit stopped working after 5 years.
I am giving this review 2/5 stars because failure of the fan after 1 year heavy use did not make it a substitue for a kitchen convection oven. I bought it to test if it can replace convection oven. I do not recommed this product for longevity. I know the fix is to send them the unit for repair, but I doubt the repair fixes the fan issue if it happens again the next year after heavy use on super convection.

We used it for 2 weeks camping. We tried to unplug the oven and the plug was melted to the outlet.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We're sorry to hear of your experience. As noted in the manual, the toaster oven is not meant to be used in moving vehicles, outside, or anywhere other than in-home use.
Loved this oven until the "Select" turn dial stopped working correctly. Now it's INFURIATING to try and choose the cook mode you want to use. We've only used the oven just over a year and now it's almost impossible to use. The heating and cooking and toasting still work, but it take 5 minutes just to choose them! Grrrrr!
