"I have only had mt oven fow a few weeks and love it. I rated it a five, but would rate it a ten if it had an oven light. Now I look at the food cooking with a flashlight since my kitchen light is not that strong. The other thing that I would like is a chart that shows for different types of food if the convection should be on or off. I noticed in the recipes that for cheese cake convection should be off. It would be nice to know this type of information for a list of foods, pies, cakes etc. etc."

"This oven is probably used more than my regular oven! It is a great product and cooks evenly. One of the best bridal gifts I ever received!"

"I've had this oven 3 yrs and LOVE it, LOVE it, LOVE it!
Have owned 4 other brands, however this one is the best.
Rarely use my standard big oven."

"As much as we loved our new Smart Oven it just stopped working. We checked the plug, breakers, etc. and it is clearly a problem with the oven. It will not turn on. Disappointing that such a new and beautifully designed with great functionality could stop working for no apparent reason. Very disappointing."

"This is my second Breville oven (I cried when the first one died two weeks ago). It was only a year and a half old and, considering the price, I had expected it to last much longer. In the past two weeks I purchased and returned two Oster and one Food Network oven. None of them would heat to the recommended 450 for initial set-up. My new Breville did (five minutes after the preheat signaled it was ready).

I am so totally spoiled by the performance of my previous Breville that I couldn't tolerate any of the other brands. The only thing that worries me is that I am a partially retired teacher and I can't afford a pricey new oven every other year.

Excuse me, I'm going to go bake my grandchildren some brownies!"

"Our fourth oven and without a doubt blows the others away! The only time that our full size stove is used is to heat liquids. This is one of the best purchases that we have made."

"I just got my oven a week ago and have been using it daily. All I get is perfect results. At first I thought the size was a bit small, but it's very deep and handles everything I want so far. Tonight I tried a pumpkin pie. There were no instructions, so I placed the pie in a glass pie plate on the first level shelve, and turned on the oven at 425 for 15 minutes, then 40 minutes at 350 without preheating. I did this to better cook the bottom of the crush with the healing element glowing in pre-heat. I have never seen a pumpkin pie come out so perfect. Usually I have to cover the crust edges so it doesn't burn, but the entire pie and the crust were perfect.

I'm so pleased with this oven that I'm now totally spoiled. It's just too easy to use and a blessing to own and use. If more people knew how good this oven is and how much nicer it is than using range oven, everyone would want one, and they've all love it as I do. Thanks for a great product.

PS 1800 watts is awesome because the oven heats up very quickly and is ready for use in a few minutes time."

"I've had my Breville oven for about two and a half years. Of course I adore it and rarely use my 24-year-old oven that has become quite lackadaisical about hitting the needed temperature.

I've baked pizzas (Tip: Turn on the broiler while you prepare the pizza and use a pizza stone. Bake the pizza at 450 degrees. If you want a thin crispier crust, put it in the oven solo for a couple of minutes before adding the toppings); calzones; muffins; cookies; foccaccia; and skillet cornbread. I buy raw nuts and toast them before freezing. It handles my morning bialy perfectly. Roasted veggies are fantastic. I can't say enough good things about this oven! But there is one problem in paradise. About a year or so ago, the START button got hinky. I press, nothing, press, nothing, press, nothing. On a good day, carefully pressing it with my right index finger at 10:00 will turn on the oven. This is frustrating, but once the oven is on, life is good.

"I absolutely love this product...

It's everything I expected and more. I enjoy cooking again. The Smart Oven blends beautifully with our new kitchen suite of appliances and has sparked my love to cook. I actually look for reasons to use it and it doubles as a second oven.

Thank you for such a wonderful product... "

""I bought my oven in February of 2011, we use it daily. I have a double oven in my kitchen, but find myself and my husband using the Breville model bov800xl/a, daily. It makes cooking and baking a breeze. When I bought this oven, my husband thought I was crazy, spending money on another oven, but this product quickly won him over, and is now happier than I, that I bought it. I researched toaster ovens for weeks, before buying this model, and I can say it is a great little oven. Its convection baking is better than my regular convection oven. It saves electricity by being small, but not so small, I cook roasts, and whole chickens in it, and they come out wonderful, Toast is perfect every time along with cakes and breads. We use this daily and have never had an issue with it. It is a great oven and easy to use."
