Comment:
When the unit is on Broil - HI, the top heating elements cycle on and off causing the broiling time to be much longer than with our older (and cheaper) toaster oven where the top elements remained on constinuously. Is this is a feature or a malfunction? If it is a feature, can it be disabled? <br /><br />Other than that hiccup, my wife and I love the Breville Smart Oven. I hope there is a solution.
How long have you owned it:

Not your average toaster oven

Strength
The best thing about this oven is its control. It is very intuitive. The controls are so well conceived, you really don't need to read the instruction book.
Weakness
Larger footprint on your counter top than the average toaster oven, but well worth the space it takes.
I looked at a $120.00 oven at Sears. It was little more than a over-sized toaster with a somewhat primitive control system for an appliance that cost more than $100.00. For example, the oven temp could only be set between 300-360 degrees.If you are interested in an efficient, well-designed appliance that offers the best of a well controlled toaster, oven, and broiler, this is the best choice, hands down. My only concern is how long the digital controls will last. At this price, it should be a long time.

BOV800XL Smart 6-Slice Steel Toaster Oven
12/27/2009
Strength
Pre-heats quickly, toasts and bakes evenly. Easy to use.The baking utensils, included, seem high quality. Very attractive and I would definetly recomend to my friends.
Weakness
A bit disappointed that it only has one rack, for its large size.
My major comment is that when I opened the box a large sign said that refurbished models only had a 90 day warranty. Yet, I'm quite sure that the web site said one year. I commented on the fact that it was the same as a new product,while I was considering the purchase.
