Product Description

Attractively housed in reinforced stainless steel, this 1800-watt convection toaster oven features a 4/5-cubic-foot nonstick interior and Element IQ technology, which provides smarter control over the heat. Choose from nine pre-set functions: Toast, Bagel, Bake, Roast, Broil, Pizza, Cookies, Reheat, or Warm; each one comes with its own pre-programmed temperature and cooking time, eliminating the guesswork. The unit's broil function activates just the top heating elements to melt and brown food; its toast function activates the top and bottom heating elements to seal and crisp; and the bake function uses both the top and bottom heating elements, as well as the convection fan, to ensure thorough cooking, inside and out.

Instead of the oven's five quartz heating elements having a fixed wattage, however, Element IQ functions much like a dimmer on a light switch, increasing or decreasing the power with a simple turn of the knob. The time and temperature for the pre-set programs can easily be adjusted to accommodate individual preferences--the oven will even remember the new settings for next time.

Thoughtfully designed, the oven's push-button and turn-knob control panel, as well as its blue back-lit LCD screen, makes it effortless to operate the unit and to see the current function, temperature, and adjusts made. Other highlights include fast heat-up times, energy-efficient operation, three rack positions, a wire rack that ejects automatically halfway out of the oven for safe removal of hot items, an embossed and ribbed top surface that can be used as a warming tray, and a front-access removable crumb tray for quick cleanup. Combining durable materials and powerful performance with a strikingly modern design, users will want to leave the oven out on display and conveniently accessible for everyday use. Accessories include a 13-inch non-stick pizza pan, a 12-by-12-inch enamel baking pan, and a 12-by-12-inch enamel broil rack. The oven measures 18-1/2 by 12-1/2 by 10-3/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews

I've used it for 3 days now and am a complete fan. I wasted a day because I took the time to read the manual & it scares you by repeating on every page to NOT use foil. I already suffer from being a worry wart but decided this time to disregard the warnings & use my common sense. I would say...just don't cover the elements with foil. But who does that, anyway?

This oven is really wonderful. Tonight I used it to reheat the quiche I made last night (in the oven) & it reheated perfectly; unlike other times in other ovens, where it turns out to be a guessing game. An interior light would be perfect. That's the only down side for me.

As with other appliances I have purchased thru Amazon, the reviews are a great help & often enough, help make the sale. Thanks to all those who take the time to review.
I got this Breville Smart Oven for a Xmas present & am sold on it 100 percent. It IS a smart oven.
Five stars.

Well, I've used my oven for a full year now & wish I could give it 10 stars! Just the reheat function alone would sell this for me. I have never before reheated a leftover dish that came out still moist when it should be or crisp when it should be. Wow!

Actually, I do cook from scratch most of the time. I realize that the way I rave about the reheat button that I sound as though we exist on just leftovers...but well, all of the functions are excellent.

This was the smartest & best purchase I made last year.

This compact oven is wonderful. I am surprised this kind of technology hasn't already been out for a while. The top and bottom heating elements are microprocessor controlled to optimally cook different kinds of foods. It can switch from bottom to top heat and vise versa to heat your food as required. Cakes need to be cooked thru out which is different than pizza which needs a crispy crust but not burnt cheese.

The auto programs all seem to be well tested and perform wonderfully. Even chicken and meats cook thru. Frozen items also cook well. It seems a great deal of time testing this unit was done before releasing it for sale. Even re-heating foods works well. This is the best toaster oven I have ever owned!

It is well made. It is heavy and seems like it will last a long time. The door opens smoothly and the interior is easy reach in and clean. The controls are intuitive and well designed. The entire unit is easy to clean even after preparing a feast and getting ingredients all over the knobs. The kids even like using it.

I would say for the price that this is a real deal. I can't really say there are any negatives about this unit because it is so far ahead of what I have owned in the past.

First of all, yes, it's expensive. But it is well-built and does absolutely everything it advertises. It's very sophisticated, yet simple to use. Controls are intuitive and easy to understand. I didn't even need to read the owner's manual to use the oven first time, although there's some very good information in there. Second, to the person who gave it 1 star because "you can't use foil or glassware in the oven", that is totally wrong. The manual clearly says you can use OVEN SAFE glass baking dishes, and foil too, so long as it doesn't touch the heating elements. Third, yes, external surfaces and the door get hot during use. I've never seen a toaster oven that doesn't get hot. Some are far worse than this one (EuroPro, Oster). Fourth, to the person who commented that the supplied baking pans are "flimsy, and curl up during baking", I did not have this experience. I think the baking pans are very heavy and durable. The broiling pan is as solid as the one that came with my full-size Kenmore Elite range! Fifth, everything I've baked so far has come out perfectly cooked -- so that's the true value of the oven, in my opinion.
