Breville Smart Oven Pro BOV845BSS

The Breville Smart Oven Pro is the consensus pick across nearly every expert source, with multiple editors owning it personally. Powerful convection, intuitive controls, and a spring-loaded door make it feel like a premium appliance that earns its counter space.

$270-$340
Pros
  • Powerful convection fan cuts cook times by 5-10 minutes vs. recipe estimates
  • Spring-loaded door and insulated stainless steel frame prevent accidental burns
  • Digital display with precise time/temp control and automatic shutoff
  • Versatile enough to roast chicken, bake, broil, and air fry well
  • Toasts bread evenly in just 2:30 minutes — fastest among full-size models tested
Cons
  • Expensive at $270+ for a toaster oven
  • Takes up significant counter space
  • Air fry results not quite as crispy as dedicated basket air fryers
Why we recommend it

If you only read one recommendation, make it this one — Serious Eats tested 26 ovens and still called this their longtime favorite, and multiple editors bought it with their own money. That's the kind of endorsement you can't fake.

What the community says

I've had the Breville Smart oven Airfryer Pro for a year & we love the versatility of the Breville. It has so many nice features/options. We use it every single day. And hardly use the big oven anymore.

Large capacity, could almost replace your main oven. Fast preheating times. Tons of cooking modes.

These virtues tend to hold true of Breville's other similar models. Its product line looks like a Russian nesting doll of Cadillac toaster ovens.
