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.

Got a thick brushed metal body and a cool-touch handle that stays comfortable to grab even after 30 minutes at 450 degrees. The convection fan circulates hot air evenly to speed up baking times on pastries and roasted sides. However, the spring-loaded door slams loudly if you don't guide it shut, and the dials lag briefly when waking up.

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.

Used it for a couple of years and is overall pretty happy; the broiler is handy when you don't want to fire up the full-size oven.

Has owned a Smart Oven since 2011 and it still works very well with no problems. Used with almost every meal to roast vegetables, broil bread, reheat leftovers and cook frozen food without heating the big oven.

It's how well reviewed Breville Smart Oven BOV800 is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a appliance needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed appliances here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
Category: Countertop oven. Type: Toaster oven. Capacity: 6-slice. Model number: BOV800. Power: 1800 W.
