Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Breville BOV800XL The Smart Oven 1800-Watt Convection Toaster Oven with Element IQ

Customer Review: (4.5 stars) An oven that's smart, attractive and thoughtfully designed
Summary: 4 Stars

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
It's smart. It's green. And it looks great.

Don't even start to think of this as a toaster oven - there's a reason they don't use the word toaster in the product title. It's really a small oven, or an oven replacement - either for a family or recreational room where you want to cook without the compromises a microwave entails, or in a small kitchen where you don't want to use (or don't have!) a full sized oven.

The Breville Smart Oven is one of those products that often makes you think, hey, why didn't someone think of that sooner? Rather than accept the standard limitations and flaws of compact ovens, Breville has re-thought the oven to address safety, convenience and function.

Among my favorite features:
- The oven's programs for different foods are a great way to enhance the cooking of the food, as well as save energy.
- There are five heating elements; the power sent to the elements is adjusted up or down, or turned off altogether, depending on what's right for the food being cooked. You can also use convection to circulate heat.
- The oven comes with a 12" x 12" enamel baking pan, a 12" x 12" enamel broil rack, and a 13" non-stick pizza pan. Including appropriately-sized pans is a big plus. Having pans designed for the oven is a time saver (no messing around) and helps get the most out of the oven.
- And you have to love the "Magnetic Auto-Eject Rack" - think about how many times you've burned yourself pulling out the rack - although unfortunately it only works when the rack is at the middle rack height position.

The oven is very carefully packed for shipping, with Breville using an outer shipping box around the standard inner box you'd see in a store. That's a big plus on an item like this, as Amazon doesn't pack well for shipping most of the time.

The warranty is one year.

Let's hope Breville offers this in black as well at some point; even though the silver is attractive, lots of people might prefer black.

The Breville website has a lot of good info and pictures if you want more details - definitely take a look if you're considering a purchase. The owners' manual is also available in PDF form at the Breville website if you want to better understand the oven, or see some of the 25 pages of recipes they suggest for this oven. It may also help you understand the Breville approach - the manual is useful, clear, well done and attractive - no surprise!

Description of Breville BOV800XL The Smart Oven 1800-Watt Convection Toaster Oven with Element IQ

The Smart Oven's Element IQ puts the power where it's needed most. For each of the 9 pre-set programs, Element IQ delivers the right power at the right time and when adjusted to taste, it even remembers. Element IQ works much like the dimmer in your light switch-it can turn the power up or down. Instead of the 5 heating elements having a fixed wattage, Element IQ automatically puts the power where it is needed most for the specific cooking task. Not only does the Smart Oven heat up faster than a conventional wall oven, it's also more energy efficient than its predecessor, making it a kitchen tool you will use every day.
