Pros: awesome. Heats quick, works quick. Cooks things perfectly, nice crisp on the outside but soft on the inside-it’s insane. It also looks aesthetic and is the perfect size! It toasts bread and other things exceptionally as well. I can put a small Pyrex baking dish in it too and it bakes just as good as an oven! Cons: you have to flip the bread in order for it to toast perfectly. The trays are heavy. Doesn’t come with a pizza stone. Overall, great toaster oven. Better than the one we had before but we have only had it for a month or so.

I am very happy with the Breville smart toaster oven BOV650XL. Exellent quality. It is very accurate, bakes even and the alerts are quiet. Love everything about it!

I bought the Breville Compact Smart Toaster Oven after doing a lot of research online. It replaced my workhorse toaster oven that was over 40 years old but had seen better days. The Breville Compact Smart Toaster Oven is the best addition to my kitchen that I’ve made in recent years. It has a number of “bells and whistles” but it is easy to figure out (excellent directions), to operate, and the results are wonderful. I am particularly fond of the preheating ability - something I never thought about until I began researching for a new toaster oven. So far all of the pre-programmed dial selections (Bagel, Toast, etc.) have been perfect for my needs. Adjusting times and temperatures is something I have not needed to do so far, but I’ve experimented with how it works and it is very logical and easy to do. It is attractive in design, nicely compact but still has plenty of room, and it does not take up a lot of counter space. I had never heard of the Breville brand until I began looking for a new toaster oven, but I am convinced that it is very high quality, competitively priced given the number of extra features, and is worth every cent. I could not be more pleased with this purchase - it's a first-rate toaster oven.

This toaster oven fulfills all of my needs: cooks and toasts efficiently; is well made; sold at a fair price; fits on my counter top. I am satisfied with this machine. The only drawback is that the outside gets very warm when the oven is on. But this is common of most toaster ovens, I am told. Just keep your hands away from the unit when it is on.

I am really happy with this new toaster oven. I read Consumer Reports which rated it highly. Decided in the middle sized version of the oven and am glad that I picked it. It was only slightly larger than the mini version - so from a counter space point of view its size wasn't going to make that much of a different. What the larger size did give me was enough room to hold some of my medium sized baking pans. I baked a casserole and a frittata and both came out perfectly - baked evenly and better than my oven. I baked a frozen store pizza on the bake setting and it came out perfectly. I didn't use the pizza setting because that has a defrost step and the frozen pizza instructions did not require that. I have toasted a bunch of toast and it does brown a little bit more on the top than on the bottom. But it is so much better than my old toaster oven. I found the preset selections for darkness that I am happy with. Using the same setting, I am getting very consistent results. I am very happy with this purchase and have already recommended it to a family member and a friend.
