Breville Smart Oven BOV800 Reviews

Summary of a YouTube video

Bakes golden corn muffins evenly and broils steaks right on the included ribbed pan without heating up your main kitchen oven. A bright interior light and wide glass window make it easy to check browning progress without opening the door and losing heat. Cleanup goes fast since the non-stick walls and removable baking tray wipe down with minimal effort. It's a bulky footprint that demands serious counter space, though. The metal housing also gets very hot during high-heat roasting, so you can't store anything on top.

Over ten years of 1-2 daily uses and it works like the day they bought it, having nearly replaced the built-in oven. Large capacity, multiple fan settings, hold warm, accurate temps and fast preheat; fan, element and start-button faults are repairable with parts available. Paid about $220.

Bagel mode toasts the cut side nicely while warming the bottom so it doesn't get tough. Safety catches keep the racks steady, though the exterior gets hot at 450 degrees and you can't mute the beeps.

Has had it several years and would buy another if it died: no hot spots, easy to clean (removable crumb tray), toasts well and broils well. Cons: can't fit a 9x13 pan, slightly noisy convection fan, gets hot on top, and toasting settings are imperfect.

Owns the Breville 800 and calls it outstanding: reliable, holds temperature, and handles bread, pastries, whole roasted chickens, meats and vegetables. Ex-line cook who is particular about even heat.
