Beautiful simple, clean design. Easy to use, very efficient and also easy to clean. Love this small appliance that can do so many jobs! Toast, baking, broiling, re-heat or keep warm all in one. Any questions or problems? Breville has the best customer service, by far!
I bought this oven many years ago after my microwave burned up from someone using it as a timer, but in microwave mode. I've been using it as a microwave replacement since then, just had to be patient with reheating. After cooking, I always leave the oven door open to quickly relieve the heat and prevent heat soaking into the electronics. The quartz elements help provide instant heat for browning compared to NiChrome elements in basic ovens. Sometimes the knobs get finicky, but it seems to happen during high humidity, my home stereo volume knob and washer/dryer knobs do the same thing.
We use our Smart Oven daily for everything from toasting to reheating to warming to (my favorite) baked bacon. It’s so easy to use for things you just don’t want to warm up the big oven for. It looks beautiful in my kitchen, too.
I love this oven and use it constantly. Hands down, it is my favorite appliance. The only drawback - from my perspective - is that it is very difficult to get the glass clean and, I think, I’ve tried every pro-trick I’ve found.
Really Loved this oven but it should have worked a lot longer.

I was so happy to finally have a Breville Toaster Oven. Loved everything about it but after 18 months or so it has already died. Periodically it will start but 8 out of 10 times it won't. Very disappointed.

We replaced our old basic Breville to a new Breville Smart Pro. Three months just basic oven/heating/toasting. Eventually the door did not shut all the way so we had to slam it shut, been doing it since then. I am so frustrated with this product, for the price I thought it would be high standards…
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
