Comment:
I cook at least four meals a week on the Breville - most often chicken thighs, salmon, mixed vegetables. I often use breading - or Mozarella and tomatoes for the salmon. The Breville cooks wonderfully and reliably. It's a bit annoying to clean - you have to be very careful of the heating elements - but apart from that I have nothing but very high praise.

Comment:
I have a family of three and it seems like such a waste to use my conventional oven besides it takes forever to heat up. I cook everything from muffins to roast in this oven. The on,y thing I could not fit in there was an angel food cake.

Comment:
I have used this Breville as a toaster (every morning), as an oven, and to warm up leftovers. It is really quite versatile and an excellent toaster for different quantities and qualities of bread.

Not your average toaster oven
02/06/2010
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.
