BrevilleSmart Oven Compact Convection BOV670BSS, Brushed Stainless Steel

UPDATED 11/2024: I loved this little oven for 2 years but the bottom element stopped heating. My extended warranty I purchased worked like a charm and I'm hoping the next Breville will last longer.Original review:I spent hours reading reviews here, as well as Consumer Reports, when it came time to replace my 2006 vintage Cuisinart. I had really hoped to find a compact toaster oven with an interior light, but those only seem to be offered on the larger higher-end models which would not fit in my garage. I had narrowed everything down to Cuisinart or Breville, and decided in the end to go with this one.Here's what I like:1. Consistent heating... it actually makes good toast which is evenly toasted on both sides. The first for a toaster oven!2. Super easy to use - no need to even read the manual. Just turn the knob to what you want to cook and click "start". Easy to adjust time (not sure what issues others had) as well as temperature.3. Right side does not get hot. The left side of this oven and the top get very hot, but the right side which is not too far from my wall stays cool. The optional $25 cutting board for the top helps dissipate heat.4. Works like a microwave. Older ovens you set the temperature and mode (bake, toast) and then waited. This oven you tell it what you are cooking, it sets the presets, and then you just click start and it begins preheating and a timer countdown. Easy and there's no danger of forgetting to turn it off. It turns itself off when the countdown is finished.5. It looks amazing. I hadn't realized how dowdy my old Cusinart looks. This Breville is a beauty. It's too bad I have it behind closed doors in my kitchen.Two things I would have liked:1. Interior light. Please! My next oven will have one.2. Auto slide out rack. It would be nice if the rack would "present" itself and slide out a bit when you open the door. I have no issues with the door slamming as others have mentioned so maybe they have fixed that issue in product updates.Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and for $150 I think it's a great deal.

I purchased this Breville toaster oven after researching plenty of review sites. As opinions go, every site had its own opinion of the best toaster oven, so I made my choice based on my needs. Those needs were: SMALL to fit in a limited counter space. Good even toasting, to replace an existing pop-up toaster with limited functionality. Attractive, with quality appearance and excellent functionality. We were not disappointed! This smallest Breville easily bakes a 12" pizza, evenly toasts bagels, muffins and flat bread sandwiches, "airfry" potatoes and frozen treats, and warms dinners without having to wait for the main oven to warm up! In all, this was a great buy and a great replacement for the old pop-up toaster on our counter. Highly recommended.

I hemmed and I hawed and I didnt want to spend so much or add something so big to the kitchen. But I'm SO glad I got this little Breville oven! It works perfectly, comes with very nice trays, and makes a nearly professional bagel! Yes it heats up quite a lot on the outside so I'm being careful about maintaining the 4" space around it while its running. When not in use, I keep it unplugged, as recommended. It has a LOT of settings but the buttons are easy to use and the book tells all about it. I like the chunky coolness of the handle and the door is easy to look thru. All in all, its GREAT!

Controls and knobs are user friendly and intuitive - the default on setting for convection baking is great. It's durable and the design tends to resist getting dirty. My only issue is that both included enamel pan and slotted sheet (don't know what that's called exactly) don't seem to have the same durability as those on our old toaster oven. They came out of the dishwasher with dull finish and they seem flimsy overall. Very happy the old ones fit in this otherwise good oven.

What a splendid oven. It cost more than other brands but I have found it be superior in every way. Easy to understand how use - no need for a separate toaster, or grill. Worth every penny. Would purchase again.

Excellent choice of this toaster/convection oven. Food cooks evenly and faster than my regular oven. The pans that come with it are enameled steel. Just a little scrubbing with rough sponge cleans them up well after soaking. I can fit some of my glassware cooking dishes

This is my second Breville Smart Oven. Previous was 10 yrs old, which is still useable. With this purchase, I like the convection feature, which cooks without drying out food. The unit fits my counter with room in front to easily open the door.

I bought this in Nov 2023 but didn’t start using it until Aug 2024. I am very disappointed with it, especially with making toast. No matter what I do or try, it only toasts the top of the bread. I see the bottom elements lighting up but yet the bottom of the bread stays pale. Since I waited so long before using it, I am unable to return for a refund. I’m not sure if this is a defective one, but I do see other reviews complaining of same issue.
