What reviewers say

Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.

The Smart Oven Pro (BOV845BSS)

Both verified sources are hands-on pieces from a single whitelisted outlet, Reviewed (USA Today), on the Breville Smart Oven Pro (BOV845BSS): a 2019 lab test and a 2024 first-person owner feature. Both rank it their top toaster oven, praising even toasting, consistent bagel results, a sleek easy-to-read LCD design, and a built-in slow-cook mode; the 2019 lab also rated pizza uniformly excellent. Gripes: over-complicated first-time setup, a very hot top surface, no slow-cook dish or recipes included, and price/counter footprint. Coverage is single-outlet. (2 sourced reviews, 1 lab-tested.)

Praised: Even, uniform toasting and consistent bagel results; Handy built-in slow-cook mode; Sleek design with easy-to-read LCD and intuitive controls.

Flagged: Slow-cook mode ships without a dish or recipes; Over-complicated initial setup; Top of the oven gets extremely hot.
