Breville Smart Oven Pro Convection Toaster Oven - 0.8 Cu. Ft. - Die Cast Stainless

The glass on the door literally SHATTERED all over the kitchen counter, floor & the food inside. We were horrified! I would have returned it to the store, but it was past the time. I bought this for my mother. The first real time she used it, the thing broke. I called Breville. They sent us a replacement after we packed up the broken one and shipped it back to them. The whole process was about 3 weeks. We like the oven’s functionality, but the glass might break again at any time.

I've had several toaster ovens. We use them a lot and tend to only get a couple of years out of one. All of them were inexpensive units that worked OK. All the inexpensive ones had timer issues or element issues or convection issues. All the inexpensive units took forever to heat up and didn't do a very good job of toast. This oven is spectacular! It is simple to use, intuitive, heats up quickly, the convection is spot on and it does a masterful job of toast! Spend the money! You will not be disappointed!

This was more than we had planned to spend on a new toaster oven but I think it is worth the price. Besides the usual toaster oven type things, we are using it for baking rather than the oven during hot days with great results. Crumb tray removes easily and is easy to clean. We sprung for the cutting board that goes on top of the oven, which is also a bit expensive but lets us put things on top of it and it also looks nice. The bump out in the back is perfect for the pizza tray (included) for a full sized pizza. Broiling pan is also well made. Convection can be turned off or on. Interior light is a plus. We are very pleased with this purchase.

Ready to write a review after using for 18 months. It is durable!, which was a concern for me since it cost more than I expected to pay. However it has proven itself to be worth it. I especially like the precision in which it controls the oven temp since this allows me to use it as a true oven and not a typical toaster oven. It makes perfect toast, waffles, bagels, pizza, roasts ect. The custom settings make it hard to screw things up and with the consistent temp control, I can trust that when the the timer beeps, the food is perfect to take out at that time. It is really something I would not go without now. 18 months so far. I am impressed!

As with others- Mine is at about two years old with non heavy use- turned on toaster and a little boom, burn smell, and the elements now do not work. Lights still on etc. A higher end product (and even a lower end one) hsould not be doing this nor should the replacement be expensive nor should a warranty be 1 year- i guess breville knows what its doing. Expects people to buy in every two years- guess what- change of brands and such reviews will make you lose far more money in lost reveniue than the cost of a better component or better warranty or sending a new one to your previously loyal customers. Well done Breville. Great business sense.
