I bought this oven over a year ago. I use it for small batch bakes. Some weeks ago it went on the fritz. As the warrantee period is two years, Breville sent me a shipping label and packaging and paid for the shipping. Couple weeks later it came back repaired. Awesome!
The older wall plug was perfect with the loop to put in the socket and pull out. This new rounded one is very difficult to both unplug & plug in (even more so). Quite disappointed about this. Been struggling to plug it in each time I have to use it. Not sure what motivated the change. That was a much better design. If it had to be changed, it should have been made to look like the American plug for all appliances. This round is absolutely not user-friendly. Have to place this one at different angles before it finally goes in because the cable itself is supposed to be at an angle with bottom prong.

We have purchased 2 breville ovens and after a couple years the door wouldn't close properly.and left a gap that got worse over time. No suitable response from Breville. We have put up with the door not closing for a couple years and I'm afraid they haven't fixed the engineering that causes this problem so we are afraid the purchase another
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is the second Breville Toaster Oven we have owned. The first one lasted 15 years. We have been very satisfied with both of them. Was thinking about giving the old one to my mom before it broke. I wax actually happy when it did break so I could get one with the air fryer. The new one doesn’t toast quite as well as the smaller old one but still does a good job.
So far, I have cooked fish fillets, french fries, pizza, breaded shrimp, and chicken thighs. I must say that everything turned out great, but cleaning the inside top of the oven is extremely hard! The manual and Breville Videos talk a lot about not using harsh chemicals and abrasives. The sides and all the accessories are easy to clean! But I have big hands and trying to clean the inside top is pretty much impossible!
I would recommend this to a friend!
