What's great about it: Great functionality, easy to use
What's not so great: the top is a plate warmer and really gets hot so you can't put anything intolerent to heat on top of it
I bought this toaster oven after a horrible experience with a lower priced brand, and I have to admit I should have just spent the extra money right from the start. This little oven is AMAZING! It makes absolutely perfect toast, garlic bread, pizza, casseroles, you name it! There is a setting for everything and every setting is dead on accurate. It has a great modern look, it's very easy to clean and the broil pan and baking sheet that comes with it is much higher quality than normally comes with a toaster oven. I intend to purchase some of the other custom sized pans offered in the catalog that comes with the unit later. Since my household is just my husband and myself I'm finding that in large part this little oven has replaced my conventional oven for just about everything. I haven't tried baking cookies in it yet, but I have no doubt it will perform just as well for that as it has everything else I've tested it with.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: looks good
What's not so great: takes a long time to toast great harvest bread
the oven seems to work as directed to get toast brown enough you have to put it at double the number of slices.

What's great about it: Simply the best
What's not so great: nothing
At first the price seemed so much higher than other brands, but after reading other reviews, I decided to buy it. Am I ever pleased! So pleased that I gave one to a dear friend for Christmas, and she is just as pleased as I am. I have never had one that works so well. This is a small thing, but one that I am glad about: the rack where the toast rests can be pulled out without falling down, but stays in place. How many times have you dumped your toast onto the floor pulling out the darn rack. Small thing but an indication of the workmanship and care that went into all aspects of this. You’ll be glad to have this...for years!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: EVERYTHING
What's not so great: WE HAVE NO COMPLAINTS, I'm thinking I wouldn't mind 1 more rack for the oven though
This note is from the wife, Jack shares my enthusiasm for this product. If you are hesitant about whether you should spend this much for a toaster oven, I recommend go for it! I hesitated whether I needed to spend this much and wasn't sure if we needed something this large. We love how easy it is to operate, how quickly it heats up, & the results are fantastic. We rarely turn on our wall oven anymore which takes forever to heat. Plus now I have the toaster oven that works as an extra mini-oven when entertaining. We really do use it ALL the time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Knobs are plastic. The Oven works like it should and it is easy to use. I like the oven but I might be happier with the cuisinart at the lower price.

I did all the research and the Breville 800XL and it came out on top. Yet there were some reviews that were bad. So I took the plunge and I am not disappointed. Started with a Sara Lee Peach Pie, I cooked it for 60 min on bake using confection. Looked like a picture. Next cooked a 6 pound chicken on Roast using convection at 350 for 3 hrs. Breville saids 30 min per pound for chicken. I would cook 30 less next time and check with insta read thermoeter. Using aluminum foil was also a question with this oven. I used it on the crumb tray and on the pizza tray when I cook the peach pie. No problems resulted. Of course don't let the aluminum foil touch the heating coils. Commen sense people. This oven is the real deal.

What's great about it: Does a great job as an oven/broiler. Not just a toaster trying to do the job as an oven.
What's not so great: A bit expensive. The power cord could be a little longer and this unit is big compared to other toaster ovens.
Easy to clean and has an intuitive display. Does one thing few products do anymore, works as advertised!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

We have been through 4 different brands of toaster ovens and my wife set her site on the breville, it is a great unit, 1st the negative heat comes to the outside of the unit so you have to be careful you don't burn yourself. Now for the positive 1st the unit is dark on the inside which is wonderful cause after a while they start looking dingy on the inside unless your gonna be a slave to the unit. Next the unit is quick to cook things and has convection cooking also it just looks awesome in your kitchen. Also the stainless is of a good quality that doesn't brown with the heat Would I reccomend ! Definitely

What's great about it: Easy to use and very versatile
What's not so great: High price, but I believe it's worth it.
The oven is very well made-solid and attractive. It is a far cry from a standard "toaster over", although it has settings for toast, bagels, and pizzas, it is rather a small counter top oven. I have made all kinds of toast and bagels, roasted nuts, and heated a frozen casserole, the directions for which warned not to use a "toaster oven", and all have turned out excellent.
The bread and bagels toasted in this oven are so much better than those made in the standard toaster because the combination of settings and spacing of the heaters provide a deliciously crunchy crust and a moist but well heated inside.
It is worth the price.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Even heating, stays cool on the outside, even when hot on the inside, very easy to clean
What's not so great: Haven't found anything that is not great.
If you are looking for a complete toaster that does it all and does it the very best, then this is the oven you are looking for. Don't let the higher price scare you off. You definitely get what you pay for in the toaster oven realm, and this one out performs every other oven I have tried. It has a nice stainless steel exterior and the heating elements work so well that it heats not only bagels, toast, bread, but anything else we put in it. I love the convection feature and it has a nice sized interior so it can double as an oven if you need it. It heats faster and cooks faster then my oven, so it is much more cost efficient. I use it more than my regular oven. It has a nice display, is very easy to run, and I would recommend it to anyone.

What's great about it: It is really smart! Very easy to use!
What's not so great: Need to have open space above to assure heat flows from top warming tray
It is a great looking oven. We got it to replace a much smaller toaster oven. This one is easy to use and with all of the features you want - well worth the price!

What's great about it: Very easy to use. Element IQ technology works great
What's not so great: So far everything is great
Over the years, I have purchased many Convection Toaster Ovens, and all of them except this one have dissapointed me. The previous ovens took a lot of time to find the right cooking temperature and time and none of them cooked evenly. The fans on all of the previous ovens were very noisy and sounded like they were about to die. Well when I purchased the Breville Smart Oven Convection Toaster/Pizza Oven I was amazed at how well it performed. I used the oven presets about 98% of the time and the food came out perfectly done. No more burnt offerings. No more standing to watch the food cooking. This is the BEST Convection Toaster/Pizza Oven I have ever purchased.
Thanks Best Buy for selling this product
