13 smart cooking functions with air fry and dehydrate. The Smart Oven Air with Element IQ is for the cook who desires a countertop oven that can roast for large gatherings, air fry crispy French fries & family favorites and dehydrate a wide range of healthy foods. The super convection setting reduces cooking time by up to 30 percent with great crispness. Capacity: 9 Slice Toaster, 13" Pizza, 9"x 13" baking pan, 12 cup muffin tray , 14 lb Turkey.

Wirecutter

The Smart Oven maintains temperature remarkably well. But it’s slower at preheating, doesn’t toast as evenly, and costs more than our main picks.

Consumer Reports

CR’s take: Another compact Breville toaster oven that deserves every inch of counter space is the 1,800-watt Breville Smart Oven BOV800XL. With a temperature range of 120° to 450° F, it does a nice job of baking food, reheating leftovers, and turning out a batch of even, medium-brown toast. The unit is easy to clean and can fit up to six slices of bread (the others on this list fit only up to four). One minor drawback, though: Our testers found this model isn’t as good at toasting a single slice as it is at toasting a batch of bread. That’s something to consider if you frequently toast just one piece to have with your morning coffee or juice.

CR’s take: With a temperature range of 120° F to 450° F, the 1,800-watt Breville Smart Oven BOV800XL does a nice job baking food, reheating leftovers, and turning out a batch of even, medium-brown toast. More praise: it’s a cinch to operate and easy to clean. Plus, the brand receives Excellent reliability and owner satisfaction ratings in CR’s member survey. One minor drawback, though: Our testers found this model isn’t as good at toasting a single slice of bread as the other two top-rated toaster ovens from Breville in our tests.

The Breville Mini Smart Oven was designed just for you if you're short on space but big on baking aspirations. This space-saving model has nearly all of its big sibling's performance and temperature accuracy capabilities but in a package that's more economical and space-saving. The small size also lets it heat up incredibly fast, providing the quickest route we've seen, from emergency cookie craving to fresh-baked goodness. Thanks to its stellar temperature accuracy, it is also the smallest oven in this review that can still handle the more finicky meals and baked goods.
The only complaint we can levy against the Mini Smart Oven is its relative lack of capacity, but that's a tradeoff you have to make if you're looking to save space. Some might argue that the price tag is a bit steep, but we feel that dollar for dollar, this oven offers more cooking performance than almost any model on the market. It is the perfect oven for cooking aficionados in small apartments or dorm dwellers who don't want to give up their baking habits.

America's Test Kitchen

Our previous winner once again aced all our tests, producing evenly baked cookies, golden brown pizza and tuna melts, tender-crisp asparagus spears, and a bronzed, crisp-skinned chicken. Its settings are intuitive and easy to use, and it's programmable, so you can set it to remember your preferences; no fiddling with the dials. Markers on the glass door helpfully instruct you to where to place the rack for each setting, and the interior of the oven that has a nonstick coating for easy cleanup. Though it took longer than other products to toast (about 5 minutes for medium toast) it was capable of making big batches of perfectly golden slices that were evenly browned from edge-to-edge.

Tovala is a 1,525-watt smart countertop oven and meal delivery kit service, which features a weekly menu of single-serving meals that arrive raw with simple instructions and a QR code that can be scanned by Tovala’s smart oven. The oven downloads the recipe’s cooking settings and cooks most meals in under 20 minutes. In addition to toasting, baking, and broiling, it can air-fry, reheat, and steam. Many meal settings and recipes will use a combination of cooking methods and you can customize your own cycle for non-Tovala foods, too. Learn more about the Tovala Smart Oven.

I don't normally review purchases, but the stated interior dimensions are so wrong that I thought I should as a service to others. The Breville Smart Oven I just purchased arrived on time, undamaged, and ran through one heating cycle perfectly. Quality appears good relative to price. Time will tell how well it performs on different foods and through the years

 It looks for all the world like Breville is WAY overstating the interior dimensions. It would be nice if someone (1) explained this and (2) corrected the postings. In conclusion, the Breville oven I received is one of the largest offered by any manufacturer and appears to be of reasonable quality, so I plan to keep it. But, Breville, please fix your description!

WAY smaller interior dimensions!!

As a single person, the Breville toaster oven is a great buy for me. I bake my bread and pizza in there, and haven't used my regular oven for years.

I would get these headphones off of Amazon.

Sony WH-1000XM4 

As a general suggestion. If you have any other more specific hobbies or interests I can give you some other suggestions.

Get a sonos speaker or equivalent.  
  
The joy of music pays itself over for many many years. (I don't mean this brand, just the ability to play good quality music on decent speakers. Having an Internet linked intelligent player means you're not tied to playing over Bluetooth from your phone all the time.).

Every year, my mom gets each of us a single item, up to $500, for Christmas (+ whatever cash is leftover so no punishment for being under budget!).  I’m having a hard time coming up with ideas this year, and would love to hear what people in this group would get.  I’m considering a nice blender (Vitamix?), but we’re also expecting our first child this spring, so would be open to kiddo-related ideas, too!

<p>Editing to add: I did NOT expect so many responses, but it&#39;s been very helpful and great fun to see everyone&#39;s responses!  I have a hard time thinking beyond bare essentials sometimes, so this was exactly the brainstorming I needed.  I have a short list of things to research a little further, have added some new things to our baby registry, and have loved seeing how much some of you love BIFL products that we&#39;ve been enjoying, too! Also, FWIW, I&#39;m not a guy but got a good chuckle at the suggestions for a vasectomy, an escort, or a coat hanger (yes, some people actually PLAN for children, as crazy as that sounds?!), but I now have a pretty solid of future gift ideas for my husband that I never would have thought of.  Thanks everyone!!</p>

What one thing would you buy for $500 or less?

I don't use a veggie steamer or griddle pan ever. I have tried and hated crock pots and instant pots - it just makes all food mushy to me but I also don't eat meat. I prefer to make everything on my stove top.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for opinions about the minimal amount of cookware that offers the most flexibility. 

I own a chef's knife and a cast iron pan however the pan isn't working out as I don't have great ventilation to vent out smoke in my space. I also share pots with roommates but I will soon be on my own and I am looking for a personal outfit. 

My diet consists of eggs, avocado, beef, chicken, fish, and loads of green and non starchy vegetables. 

My thoughts are the following:

1. A chef's knife (my wusthoff 6 inch)
2. Sharpening whetstone
3. general purpose pan
4. General purpose pot
5. Veggie steamer insert
6. Flat griddle/skillet
7. Small general purpose pot
8. Baking tray

Any advice would help.

Minimalist Cookware

"  As I write this review in Jan. 2021, this Breville unit seems to be in high demand. The oven and many of its accessories are temporarily sold out at the Amazon Warehouse and even at the manufacturer's website. The going price right for this model is about $399 when in stock, so don't be tempted by Amazon storefront sellers who may charge a lot more

I was initially attracted to this oven because it has air fryer and dehydrate functions and due to its high ratings from Consumer Reports. Yes, it is a little pricier than the others, but worth it!  I haven't had it that long yet and have much more to discover, but I have tried out a few features like toast, bagel, bake, air fry and roast. I couldn't be happier with the results: The large 6-lb chicken I recently roasted came out perfectly and evenly browned all over - even on the bottom! Nice and juicy inside, too - without any red rare spots. Plus the imported European bread I buy 80% par-baked and finish out in the oven came out fragrantly delicious with a crisp and chewy crust and soft moist center - ideal!  The bagel setting, by the way

 The oven and many of its accessories are temporarily sold out at the Amazon Warehouse and even at the manufacturer's website. The going price right for this model is about $399 when in stock, so don't be tempted by Amazon storefront sellers who may charge a lot more. I see the sole seller who has it available to ship out now has it priced at their linked "available from these sellers" Amazon storefront for $699. Wait for this to be restocked at a reasonable price!  During the current "sold-out" season for the new oven, I bought my oven for $300 as a "Used-very good" unit from Amazon

A countertop oven that let's me have complete control!

Can anybody recommend an air fryer toaster oven that is fast like an air fryer basket but big enough to toast at least two pieces of bread?

 Now I read all the reviews and this was consumer reports rated best toaster oven so we could possibly have just a model that went bad, but dealing with the company’s product support policies, it makes me feel like a misplaced $400 purchase.  We use our toaster oven in place of an oven, we use it to toast, broil, bake, air fry. We have use this toaster oven for almost all our cooking needs, and gradually over one year of ownership, as you can see in the pictures, the toaster oven cooking unevenly. I called Breville’s product support, very nice employee, but could tell by the one hour hold time that their customer support is not getting any support themselves from the company

 Cleaning is very easy, wipe it down after every use when it cools. I clean it with a soft cloth with Dawn power shot spray, but this toaster oven can look like $1 million but if it doesn’t cook the food properly than it is in that good of a product.

  Here is my opinion, and what I’ve experienced over the last year of owning this toaster oven. It is a nice toaster oven and aesthetically, it looks great on my countertop. Cleaning is very easy, wipe it down after every use when it cools. I clean it with a soft cloth with Dawn power shot spray, but this toaster oven can look like $1 million but if it doesn’t cook the food properly than it is in that good of a product

I called Breville’s product support, very nice employee, but could tell by the one hour hold time that their customer support is not getting any support themselves from the company. We had a Hamilton Beach toast oven, for almost 6 years prior to this toaster oven, in the first year when we had an issue, they informed us to return it, and get another one. After the warranty expired, we experienced another issue and called them, and they sent a replacement piece free of charge even though I informed them I was willing to pay

Review at one year ownership update!

 I kept researching ovens and everything pointed to the Breville 900, but I was rather intimidated by the steep price. I finally bit the bullet and took a chance on a "returned" unit shipped & sold by Amazon that arrived in mint (unused) condition and saved a lot of money. This Breville oven is incredible. Immediately you will notice is it is HEAVY! It weighs 38

 (it will auto shut off ) The timer will start to countdown only "after" the temperature has been reached for any mode. You can toggle on/off start from frozen and it will adjust the time accordingly. The convection fan has 2 settings. Even on the strongest

 This Breville oven is incredible. Immediately you will notice is it is HEAVY! It weighs 38.8 lbs! The Oster was an even larger oven and it barely weighed 10-12 lbs! Well, you get what you pay for and this surely has ALL the bells and whistles. It is quality from every corner

 It all feels so substantial! The little details are abounding. The base is super skid proof. The rack at level: 3/4 will automatically come out when the door is opened (via magnets) You can adjust the sound/volume of the beep/alerts and even turn the beeps off if you wish. Things are marked for you on the glass door what tray level is best for what task

I needed to upgrade a small toaster oven for quite some time. So, I brought home an Oster French Door oven w/convection and it was fine (just OK), but I felt it was more of a bulky metal box on my counter and nothing special. I kept researching ovens and everything pointed to the Breville 900, but I was rather intimidated by the steep price. I finally bit the bullet and took a chance on a "returned" unit shipped & sold by Amazon that arrived in mint (unused) condition and saved a lot of money

Wow! This is exactly what I wanted!

  I would recommend purchasing and placing baking matts in the bottom grill tray as it can be a chore cleaning without it. You can purchase these matts for dirt cheap on Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XKJDYL1/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1  Overall, this is a terrific oven, though with some really bad design choices that force one to not be able to mount it on a higher shelf

  I decided to take the chance on that option despite a few reviews saying that dedicated air fryer appliances did a slightly better job air frying than this particular oven.  This was an expensive purchase, no doubt. However, I had an aging Toastmaster oven that was nearly 30 years old but still kickin' butt! There really was no need to replace it, but you could just imagine what a huge upgrade in modernization this Breville presented.  At first, the Breville Smart Oven seems intimidating

..  There is a design flaw in this oven that puts one at a huge disadvantage if placed on a higher shelf, which I initially did, above my microwave. The door opens top to bottom

 The best I can say is that the Breville does a great job at coming close to producing actual fried results, but it won't pass a blind test against the real thing.  Another issue I have is the lack of support from Breville themselves. Before purchasing this oven, I wrote their customer support an email asking how much distance this oven needed to be placed from the back wall. Breville never answered me
