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

The Breville BOV800XL The Smart Oven 1800-Watt Convection Toaster Oven is my favorite appliance of all I've ever owned. I needed a new toaster oven and almost overlooked this one because of the price. I figured I had a full-sized convection oven so why would I want to pay over 0 for this? Then I saw it in Bed Bath & Beyond (0 orig, used a 20% off coupon, got it for 0 plus tax) and realized it wasn't as massive (and it's nice looking!) as I thought it was going to be based on the description. Since reviews were so positive, I decided to take a chance. The first one we brought home had a defect in the LED lights on the display panel so we took it back and exchanged it. This one is perfect. I love to use it to bake potatoes and sweet potatoes in and also fish. It makes PERFECT toast. None of that striped or only toasted-in-one-spot appearance that I have experienced with other toaster ovens. I have not yet made pizza, but am looking forward to trying it out. The pizza pan and other pieces are great, too. This is the perfect appliance for anyone, whether you have a small or large kitchen. I love it for when I don't need the space of a full oven. I also have made use of the top as a warming area for plates which is nice. Some reviewers have complained of not being able to use glass or foil in the oven. The pamphlet included with ours said to use only oven-safe glass and when using foil to be sure that no foil touches the heating elements. I have used both oven-safe dishes and foil without problem. If you're on the fence about this, I urge you to get off that fence and get this great appliance. You'll love it!

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

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.
