"I've had the oven for almost a year now and I absolutely love it. It is the best purchase I have ever made for my kitchen. I use the oven at least 3 times a week, not including the daily use as a toaster. I have recommended this product to all my friends and several have purchased it and all feel the same. Breville, you've done it again. "

"I have owned a Breville for at least 3 years or more. I have only used my regular oven about 2 times a year since I purchased the Breville. It is so reliable, cooks everything just right. I must admit I have not used it as a toaster only because I have a toaster. I purchased it mainly because it was definitely less expensive than using my larger oven and I did not have to worry about guess work in cooking times etc. I highly recommend this product.

"" very light tan" toast, well yes until I read the instruction book and adjusted the toast setting to darker. " read the instruction book " is always a good idea before you post a review.
As for the rest of the features of this oven, I like them all. This is a very well constructed, very well thought out piece of kitchen equipment. Non-Stick inner core makes it very easy to clean. Having read the book the instructions are easy to understand and use.
The only possible negative and only time will tell if it is a negative, is the buttons. They seem plastic like. They might never break ever but full metal buttons would have felt more secure and have been more in line with the overall " well built look and feel of this outstanding oven."

"Just began ownership of the BOV800XL with 2 perfect slices of toast, done on the recommend darkness setting of 4, slices 2 centered in the oven. These were perfect from frozen. Don't know what you're talking about Kanga! Our tuna melts for dinner were just right too."

"money well spent, even grandma loves it, takes the guess work out of cooking."

"A great oven but a very poor toaster. It only toasts bread, bagels, English muffins to a very light tan. It can not toast to a nice golden brown! It is a great oven, convection oven replacement but it is NOT a toaster replacement!"

"The best oven in the market. Worth every penny."
