Best Breville Toaster Ovens

TL;DR: The Breville BOV860OLT packs 11 cooking functions, dual‑speed super convection and a 480°F max temperature into a 15.9‑inch‑deep, 28.66‑lb countertop oven, delivering versatile performance for small‑space kitchens.

At the heart of the BOV860OLT is Breville’s Element IQ System, which uses five independent quartz elements with PID temperature control. Combined with dual‑speed super convection, the oven can cut cook times by up to 30% and reach a maximum of 480°F, all powered by an 1800 W heating element.

Weighing 28.66 lb, the BOV860OLT sits between the lighter BOV845BSS at 22.8 lb and the heftier BOV900BSS at 30.2 lb, making it solid but manageable on most countertops. Its 15.9‑in depth is just a shade deeper than the BOV845BSS’s 15.75‑in profile, while its 18.9‑in width provides a roomy interior for the included 30 cm pizza pan and air‑fry basket. With 11 distinct cooking functions, it outpaces models that list fewer presets, giving you bake, roast, toast, air‑fry and more in a single appliance.

Everyday users praise the intuitive LCD panel, which shows a preheat indicator, countdown timer and oven light, making it easy to track progress. Reviewers note that the oven consistently produces crispy fries and evenly baked cookies while keeping the kitchen cooler than a traditional oven. The trade‑off is a noticeable beeping cycle and a louder fan during convection, which some users find intrusive, especially in open‑plan spaces.

The accessory kit adds an enamel roasting pan, a non‑stick 30 cm pizza pan, a baking pan, a wire rack and a crumb tray, so you can switch between air‑fry and roast without extra purchases. Professional reviewers highlight this versatility as a key strength, noting that the combination of eleven modes and the super convection system delivers faster, crisper results without sacrificing control.

Best for: Small households, frequent cooks, or anyone with limited counter space who wants a single appliance that can bake, air‑fry, roast and more.

Avoid if: You need a quiet kitchen environment, a high‑capacity oven for large families, or are on a tight budget.

TL;DR: The Breville BOV845BSS Smart Oven Pro packs 5 quartz elements, 10 presets, and a 0.54–1 cu ft capacity into a 1800‑watt unit, though its 18.5‑inch width and 22.8‑lb weight demand ample counter space.

What really sets this model apart is the Element IQ® system that coordinates five quartz heating elements for even temperature distribution, paired with ten intuitive cooking presets—from toast to slow‑cook. Its 0.54–1 cu ft interior comfortably fits a 13‑inch pizza, while the 1800‑watt power rating ensures rapid preheat.

Compared with the other seven Breville ovens, the BOV845BSS is heavier than the BOV800XL (18.7 lb) and the BOV650XL (14.1 lb) but lighter than the BOV860OLT (28.66 lb) and the high‑capacity BOV950BSS (38.89 lb). At 18.5 inches wide, it's broader than the BOV450XL (15.6 in) and the BOV800XL (15.75 in), yet its depth of 15.75 inches sits between the compact BOV650XL (shorter depth) and the slightly deeper BOV860OLT (15.9 inches). All models share the same 1800‑watt power, but the BOV845BSS offers the most presets of the group.

Users consistently praise the oven for its consistent, even results—especially for toast and pizza—and for the quick preheat that lets busy households replace a full‑size oven for many meals. Professional reviewers highlight the Element IQ® technology and convection fan as key contributors to faster cooking times. The most common drawbacks are its sizable footprint and the 22.8‑lb weight, which make relocation a chore, plus the lack of a cool‑touch exterior and a dedicated defrost function.

Additional technical details enhance its appeal: a convection fan can shave up to 30 % off cooking time, a keep‑warm function runs for up to 2 hours, and the slow‑cook mode extends to 10 hours. The package includes an oven rack, two 12×12 in enamel baking pans, and a 13‑in non‑stick pizza pan, all of which are dishwasher‑safe.

Best for: Most users looking for a well‑reviewed, reliable mainstream option

Avoid if: You have limited desk space or need portability

TL;DR: The Breville BOV450XL packs 1800 W of power, 96.3% temperature accuracy and eight preset functions into a 9‑inch‑high brushed‑steel mini oven for just $129.95.

The standout spec is its 96.3% temperature accuracy, meaning the oven stays within about 15 °F of the set point, which professional reviewers call “fantastic” for even baking and reliable toasting. It also sports four independent heating elements and a lightning‑fast preheat, so you can go from zero to cooking in seconds.

The BOV450XL weighs just 10.7 pounds, making it lighter than the seven other Breville models in this roundup, which each tip the scales at 14 pounds or more. All models share the same 1800‑watt rating, but larger units add more capacity and extra accessories that the compact model omits. Function‑wise, the BOV450XL offers eight preset modes (toast, bagel, bake, broil, pizza, roast, cookies, reheat), a solid range for its size, though the bigger ovens list additional accessories and cooking modes.

User sentiment highlights the oven’s precise digital controls and the pleasant orange backlit LCD that counts down cooking time. Everyday owners love the compact footprint for small kitchens and praise the even toast results that stem from the accurate temperature control. On the downside, the interior chamber fits only four slices of toast or a modest 3‑lb chicken, so larger meals require a bigger oven. The lack of a convection fan means you won’t get the same crispiness that air‑fry‑capable models provide, and the brushed‑steel exterior can become very hot during use, so keep a safety clearance.

Best for: Budget‑conscious buyers seeking a reliable entry‑level option

Avoid if: You need high capacity, convection or air‑fry features, or you cook for a large family

TL;DR: The Breville BOV900BSS packs six quartz elements, a 1 cu ft interior and 1800 W power into a brushed‑stainless unit that excels at big‑batch cooking but demands generous counter space.

What really sets this oven apart is its six quartz heating elements paired with Element IQ technology, delivering the precise temperature control that reviewers call “best‑in‑class for countertop convection.” With an interior volume of 1 cu ft and a max load of 22 lb, you can roast a 14‑lb turkey or fit a 9×13‑inch pan without crowding the cavity. The LCD display offers digital temperature control across an 80‑480°F range, and the 2‑speed super convection fan circulates hot air for even results.

Compared with its Breville siblings, the BOV900BSS is the heaviest at 30.2 lb, out‑weighing the BOV860OLT (28.66 lb) and the BOV845BSS (22.8 lb). Its depth of 445 mm is deeper than the 15.75‑inch (≈400 mm) depth of the BOV845BSS but a touch shallower than the BOV800XL’s 18.5‑inch (≈470 mm) chassis, placing it in the middle of the pack for countertop footprint. While the BOV450XL sits at just 10.7 lb, the BOV950BSS tips the scales at 38.89 lb, making the BOV900BSS a solid middle‑ground in terms of size and heft.

Everyday buyers rave about the oven’s spacious interior and the convenience of preset menus, noting that the six quartz elements keep food from hot‑spotting. Professional reviewers highlight the “class‑leading” capacity and note that Element IQ provides even heating. The most common complaints revolve around the bulkier footprint—approximately 445 mm deep, 323 mm high and 546 mm wide—and the exterior can become hot during long cycles, which some users find inconvenient.

Best for: Home cooks with ample counter space who want a versatile, high‑capacity oven that can replace a traditional wall oven.

Avoid if: You need a compact, lightweight appliance for a small kitchen or frequently move your kitchen gear.

TL;DR: The Breville Smart Oven Compact packs a 14.16 L (0.5 cu ft) chamber, Element iQ heat control and 4.5 lb chicken‑size air‑fry capacity into a 15.8‑lb brushed‑steel footprint for small‑space kitchens.

The oven’s standout spec is its 14.16 L capacity combined with a 4.5 lb air‑fry limit for chicken, letting you roast a whole bird or a batch of fries in one go. Its Element iQ system and super‑convection fan promise precise heat distribution and up to 30 % faster cooking, while the integrated LCD display and “A Bit More” button give fine‑tuned control.

At 15.8 lb, it’s lighter than the BOV800XL (18.7 lb) and considerably lighter than the BOV845BSS (22.8 lb), yet heavier than the BOV450XL (10.7 lb) and the BOV650XL (14.1 lb). Its 14.16 L chamber measures smaller than the 0.6 cu ft (≈17 L) interior of the BOV650XL, placing it toward the compact end of the lineup. Power‑type matches the 1800 W that most peers use, but the Smart Oven Compact adds a Breville+ app with 1 300+ recipes—something the BOV450XL and BOV650XL don’t list.

Reviewers consistently praise the crisp air‑fry results and the intuitive preset buttons, noting the 86.4 % toasting evenness as a professional highlight. The most common complaints focus on the limited interior space, which restricts large pizzas (max 11–12 in) and multi‑tray cooking, and on temperature stability that can drift up to 45.5 °F from the set point. Users also point out the absence of rotisserie, probe and steam functions.

Best for: Small households, urban apartments, and air‑fry enthusiasts who need a compact, versatile oven.

Avoid if: You want the best value‑per‑dollar in its price range or need larger capacity, big pizzas, and extra functions like rotisserie or steam.

TL;DR: The Breville BOV650XL Compact Smart Oven delivers 1,800 W of Element IQ heat, eight presets, and a 0.6 cu ft interior for $135.95, making it a space‑saving, budget‑friendly choice for small‑scale cooking.

At the heart of the BOV650XL is 1,800 W of power paired with Element IQ technology, which intelligently distributes heat across four quartz elements for precise temperature control. The oven offers eight preset cooking functions, a backlit LCD screen, and a non‑stick interior coating, all housed in a compact chassis measuring 432 mm deep, 260 mm high, and 394 mm wide.

Compared with its Breville siblings, the BOV650XL sits in the middle of the weight range—lighter than the 18.7‑pound BOV800XL but heavier than the 10.7‑pound BOV450XL. It also carries a backlit LCD display, a feature that the BOV450XL lacks, while remaining more affordable than the larger BOV845BSS and BOV900BSS models.

Users consistently praise the oven’s even toasting and quick pre‑heat, noting the compact footprint fits easily on a crowded countertop. However, many point out the cramped interior: the 0.6 cu ft cavity limits the size of dishes and the included 10 × 10 inch pizza pan falls short of the advertised 12‑inch pizza capability. Professional reviewers echo these points, highlighting the reliable Element IQ heating but flagging the limited space as a trade‑off.

Additional technical touches include a slide‑out crumb tray for easy cleanup and a dedicated defrost setting, while the included 10 × 10 inch enamel baking pan and broiling rack add value for everyday meals.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a reliable entry-level option

Avoid if: Reliability and user satisfaction are your top concerns

TL;DR: The Breville BOV800XL packs 1800 W of Element IQ power, nine preset functions and a 13‑inch pizza capacity into a sturdy stainless‑steel oven that’s ideal for small‑family kitchens, though its footprint is on the larger side.

The standout feature is the 1800‑watt heating system paired with five quartz Element IQ elements, which professional reviewers note gives fast pre‑heat and even temperature distribution. Coupled with a convection fan that can cut cooking time by up to 30 %, the oven handles everything from toast to pizza with consistent results.

Compared with the other seven Breville models in this roundup, the BOV800XL sits in the middle of the weight range at 18.7 lb—lighter than the 22.8 lb BOV845BSS but heavier than the 10.7 lb BOV450XL. Its exterior dimensions (15.75 in W × 18.5 in D × 11 in H) are larger than the compact BOV860OLT’s 15.9 in depth, yet it offers a more spacious interior than the 0.6 cu ft BOV650XL, with a 13.25 in width and 5.25 in interior height.

Everyday users praise the clear dial controls with a backlit LCD, the fast pre‑heat, and the versatility of nine presets—including toast, bagel, bake, roast, broil, pizza, cookies, reheat and warm. Common complaints focus on the bulky countertop footprint and the limited interior height, which can restrict taller pans, as well as the fact that only one rack comes with it even though the oven supports three rack positions.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking a reliable entry-level option

Avoid if: Reliability and user satisfaction are your top concerns

TL;DR: The Breville Joule Oven Air Fryer Pro packs 10 presets, a 4‑lb chicken capacity, and app control into a 38.89‑lb, 439 mm deep countertop oven, but its premium price and large size suit spacious kitchens.

What really sets the BOV950BSS apart is its breadth of cooking modes – ten preset functions that include air‑fry, roast, bake, pizza and toast – plus five quartz heating elements and PID temperature control that can reach up to 480°F (249°C). The oven can handle a whole 4 lb (1814 g) chicken, and the included pizza pan makes family‑size pizza nights easy. With 13 smart oven functions and more than 1,000 guided recipes accessible through the Breville Home Connect app, it aims to replace a traditional oven on the countertop.

At 38.89 pounds, the Joule Oven is heavier than every other Breville model in this roundup – the BOV900BSS weighs 30.2 pounds, the BOV860OLT 28.66 pounds, and the compact BOV450XL only 10.7 pounds. Its depth of 439 mm is a touch shallower than the BOV900BSS (445 mm) but deeper than the BOV860OLT (403.9 mm). Height (325 mm) and width (546 mm) are comparable to the BOV900BSS (323 mm high, 546 mm wide) and larger than the BOV650XL (260 mm high, 394 mm wide). In short, the Joule sits at the top end of the size and weight spectrum, while offering more preset options and smart functions than the more modest BOV800XL, Smart Oven Compact, BOV650XL and BOV450XL.

Users consistently praise the oven’s versatility and its ability to roast a whole chicken or bake a pizza with even browning – professional reviewers call its roasting “juicy” and its pizza “evenly browned.” The Home Connect app gets frequent mentions for convenience, letting cooks start a cycle from a phone. On the flip side, many owners note a slower preheat and longer total cooking times compared with smaller Breville ovens, and the air‑fry results can be uneven, with some pieces ending up under‑cooked or over‑crisped. The large footprint also draws criticism from those with limited counter space.

Beyond the presets, the oven’s multiple fan speeds let you fine‑tune airflow for everything from delicate pastries to crispy fries. The PID controller maintains temperature stability, which professionals say contributes to the baking performance. With a capacity rating of 9.9/10, the unit is clearly designed for families or anyone who wants to batch‑cook without reaching for a full‑size oven.
