Breville Smart Oven vs Hamilton Beach Easy Reach

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

So I saw this HB with the lift away door and decided to try it. This is a great toaster oven, heats up great, cooks pretty quick and the door stays clean with the lift away design. Don't usually do reviews but this oven warranted it , recommend this one!

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.

For a modest price point toaster oven this is a pretty good one. The roll top makes it easier to use than most because there is better access to the food and less chance of accidentally touching a hot surface. Also the top is removable which makes cleaning easier. Add to that the removable rack and the large crumb tray and you have a toaster oven that can be kept clean with very little effort

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

There are two levels inside the oven that the tray can be set at, one for cooking and one for broiling, but I haven't found a need to switch the rack. If you're looking for an oven for every day use to prepare your meals, you may want to look elsewhere and spend a little extra money for a better model. You get what you pay for!

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

You never know when these things might go on sale. What makes this product a smarter choice? Number one, easy access to countertop. The Easy Reach Toa...

. 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

You won't find a design like the Hamilton Beach Easy Reach Toaster Oven with Roll Top Door anywhere else. Its unique and large opening makes food easy...
