Love our Breville toaster oven! Our first one was perfect for 10 years and we finally needed to replace it. I hadn't previously used it for baking pizza and now I do. It crisps the crust beautifully. We use the Breville several times a day and it just works perfectly. It's a real kitchen necessity.
Oven works very well and doesn't take up too much counter space. Nice looking. A couple of things I would change. I keep looking at the digital display expecting to see a clock! All the toaster ovens that I've had before have had a "time" feature and I really miss that. The timer "dings" to let you know your toast, etc. is done is super loud. Wish there was a way to "turn down" the volume on that. A bit annoying and alarming. Very loud.
Our toaster is a couple years old and almost immediately it started having electrical issues. Pressing the ON button has a been crap shoot since the beginning but has gotten worse. Sometimes it starts the device other times is flickers to the temp screen, changes the setting from C to F, or turns the convection function on and off. My mom and uncle have had the same issue with the same device. I finally am just irritated enough to come write a review. >:(
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
