Expert Reviews


What experts liked

We purchased our Breville Compact Smart Oven just under a year ago and it worked fine until the toasting function began to fade. It required incremental increases to the temperature setting to get desired results until it was unsustainable.
Settings for cooking bagels, cookies and pizza; reheating; roasting; defrosting; and warming
This smart oven delivers the right power at the right temperature at the right time.
- Delish
We appreciated the compact size of the Breville Compact Smart Oven
This means that the machine uses four heating elements as needed to ensure an even cook. By delivering the right power at the right time, it not only speeds up the cooking process, but also reduces energy consumption–something that many homeowners will appreciate.
It uses Element IQ technology for even heating, has eight preset programs, features 1,800 watts of power, and has a pull-out crumb tray.
It is reasonably priced, well-built and very easy to use thanks to its pre-set programs and its smart Element IQ feature which adjusts the power and temperature automatically.
The Element IQ perfectly distributes the heat automatically where it is needed the most.

What experts didn't like

I purchased this oven for myself. I have enjoyed it every day. SO MUCH that I have purchased it for my daughter and granddaughter as gifts. It is worth every penny. I cook entrees, desserts and breads in it. A real winner.
The exterior gets very hot when it’s in use
it didn’t do well in many of our tests. Its price is also more than the Panasonic, which we like more overall.
Expensive. Exterior gets hot during use
At around $180, the Breville Compact Smart Oven and the Cuisinart toaster oven are the two most expensive options on our list.
The timer starts automatically even if you haven’t adjusted the cooking temperature
It does not have the interior light so you might have a hard time monitoring the cooking process.
