Score: 67/100Rankings
The Breville BOV845BSS Smart Oven Pro is a 1800-watt convection countertop oven with Element IQ technology and ten preset functions, offering fast, even cooking for family-size meals. Its sizable footprint and weight, plus a hot exterior, limit suitability for cramped kitchens. Ideal for home cooks who need a versatile, full-oven replacement and have adequate counter space.
The Hamilton Beach 6-Slice Countertop Toaster Oven offers a compact design with a removable roll-top door and 1400 W heating for bake, broil, and toast functions. Its limited interior volume and slower preheat time can be drawbacks for larger meals. Ideal for small households or apartments needing a space-saving secondary oven.
