I have had a Breville for 15 years and no other toaster oven comes close! Solid construction , great convection and huge capacity make this a winner. In my opinion all their products are very well designed.
I bought the Breville after a lot of research and love it. It’s been a game changer for us since our actual range’s oven’s temperature can be off by 50 degrees.
I have an Oster for over 10 years, I use it almost every day and never use my large oven. I love it.
Same! It's just me. No need to heat up the big oven, I might use that 1x a yr. Still like new
We got the bee like smart oven ~3 years ago and we LOVE it, my only problem is we’ve rubbed the print off of the lightbulb button but we know what that button does so it doesn’t bother us!
I know $$ generally gets you better quality, but it would nice to see your pick on a budget option, since most of these winners are the most expensive ones.
A lot of times, they also pick a "best buy," more budget friendly option. Not sure why they didn't on this one.
@@horseshoe_nc My guess is they didn't find one that was suitable an alternative, and this is also a bit older episode too, which season, have no clue, but likely from 2019 from the looks of it.
@@horseshoe_nc I think a good take away is if you can find a cheaper model w/a 'crystal' temp modulator
I agree with you. Well, was there a 2nd and 3rd place? I am not paying over $200 for a countertop toaster oven period.
@@johnhpalmer6098 I bet in is made in China and they are POS ?
Have used my Breville almost daily for the last 4 years. Didn’t realize it would get so much use when I bought it. It heats up so darn fast.
Ditto. Only use the big oven if I can't fit it in the Breville. So much faster, less energy, less ambient heat. I got an older model at TJMaxx for like $150 so you can save some money upfront if you look.
At my favorite resale shop, I found a basically unused, few year old Breville.
I took the model # and watched the original video.
Very happy to go the next day and pick it up for $50.
They had a special ~ I got it for under $30. Score !
It does everything including make great toast and bagels,
besides the convection and other features.
This probably just sat on a counter until I got it (the plug had original packing on)
Umm. Can't afford $250... 😪.. What were the Top 5 brands?
They only have three they recommend after their "best buy" was discontinued and of those three, the Breville seems to be the "best buy" overall.
If you want a toaster oven that truly replaces an oven then the Breville is still a bargain. If you just want to make toast and reheat stuff then a cheaper oven toaster makes more sense including ones for Breville.
But you make a great point about not ranking them and getting one that best matches your usage case.
I find that different breads toast at different rates, depending probably on the varied amount of sugar and stuff in them. So I watch my toast in the toaster oven pretty carefully to make sure it gets as even as possible. I will Flip and rotate it to make it even. I have the mini breville smart oven.
You didn't do your standard budget friendly option. Some us aren't willing to drop $200+ just to toast bread and reheat leftovers. I live alone and just need something to toast bagels or english muffins (not 4 or 6 slices) and reheat leftovers. So my use case is pretty basic.
Breville just knows their stuff !
I just bought them all
Ok Mr. Moneybags
Which one varied 60%? Which ones use quartz elements? Which ones won’t roast chicken well…. Etc, etc. Frustrating video
If they told you all the details, then there’s no point to paying for their subscription.
I actually found it, Oster TSSTTVDFL1 6-Slice Digital Toaster Oven. It doesn’t look not being manufactured anymore, unless you’re really trying to find one for the in-laws (EBay).
He said varied by 60 degrees not percent. The percentage was 30. He laid his fingers on that machine.
How to differentiate nichrome element from quartz element? Can we distinguish it just by looking at it?
There are more than one very similar to the one you say is the best one, but which one is it? The BOV800XL, BOV 845BSS or BOV900BSS?
I have the breville but the door broke. We have to tilt it upwards at the front so the door doesn’t drop open whilst cooking.
ATK: I have *never ever* said this before, but I would like to have seen the video a bit longer. 4 minutes was simply too short to cover other than your best pic. What exactly was inadequate with each brand? etc.
I'm assuming details are on the website somewhere but I flip on America's Test Kitchen when I'm in the kitchen just to see what's new.. I really don't want to sit down and type out Google queries when I'm preparing lunch! Thanks!
Yea it's the one I have 😅
I really enjoy your channel, and I understand that often “the very best” appliance is a very pricey one…please show that. But, I’ve noticed that often a more “budget-friendly” appliance is not given. Yes, if I have $350 for a bread machine, that’s great…but I don’t want to spend that (referring to your bread machine video.) Could you also please give a “budget friendly” model “suggestion” that was good enough, not perfect, but would do the basics or something relatively well, for significantly less money? I use Consumer Reports and your site often for reviews, because Amazon stars ⭐️ can’t be trusted, they can be bought, most YT and websites are also paid…and it’s impossible to tell if something is a piece of junk. Yes, I could have guessed as soon as I clicked on the video that the Breville or another high end model would win…of course, it’s a fabulous product…but, please give an option for budget friendly as well. I truly enjoy your channel, and support that you do rigorous testing, and are not paid off for reviews. I would just love a few more price options offered…and I’ll watch a longer video doing that as well! Or two separate videos, that would be great! Thank you so much, I really enjoy your magazine, the PBS show I watched a long time ago, the YT channel…and I trust you, wider price range options with the pros/cons would be greatly appreciated! Keep up the great work (and yes, I just complained, sorry) but I really do enjoy the channel a lot.
@@sandrah7512 Bummer! I hate that! I’ve seen ATK/Gear Heads do reviews in the past that included a more inexpensive option…I think that’s how I wound up with my simple little Zojirushi rice maker, that was $60, but makes rice well, and the $350 was out of my range. It has to be hard, especially with appliances changing models so frequently to be able to keep up with that at ATK, sometimes the model change is just a different color or a new feature or something…sometimes, it’s a major change to how it works…so hard to know! My original bread maker, received as a wedding gift, was a Sunbeam…well known appliance maker 20+ yrs ago, not sure if it’s still in business…and it did a good job. It eventually died, and it would have been a simple fix…but it was 10 years later, and no replacement parts were available…but it lasted 10 years, so, not bad. I didn’t expect it to be like my Kitchen Aid mixer which can be passed down to the next generation if you take care of it, lol.
So the most expensive one won 🙄 shocker . What if I don’t have $250 for a toaster . How about a spread , best low to high
Was there a best value one?
ATK's "best buy" was discontinued. There are links provided to the models they do recommend, however the Breville now seems to be the "best buy" overall.
There is sometimes a price spike after these videos. It's normal capitalism. So... as always, shop around.
Also, don't forget -- because of stellar and remarkably competent current leadership of most developed countries, prices are probably going up. 🤷🏿♀️
I have the Breville and it is the ONLY oven to use. I could never get along without it and use daily. No exaggeration.
Excellent question! Too pricey for me.
@@RickDeckardMemoriesincrease in pricing has nothing to do with a countries leadership. Corporate greed is more like it. What do you expect. Wages to continue to rise while prices remain flat? Get real!
Which is the best value machine? Which ones tested better or more poorly? I want more information here
Here's some info....
Virtually every US & European brand, including high end brands like Cuisinart, KitchenAid, Krups, & Breville & other “familiar” brands like Oster, Hamilton Beach, & Black and Decker are completely manufactured in China (often trying to mislead you with the “Designed in America, Manufactured in China” line.
The Breville. It's pricier, but it lasts, it's versatile, and it's a work horse. I've had mine for over 12 years and it's the most used appliance in my kitchen.
@@sandrah7512Thank you
Never had a toaster oven before.
Don’t have a ton of counter space.
But I picked up the Breville oven the first time they recommended it.
It’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. It preheats in about 4 minutes. It’s just as accurate as my large oven, and it’s convection.
It fits a quarter sheet pan perfectly, but I might try to get a bigger one to fit a half sheet pan.
Here’s the one and only downside (other than the counter space).
After about 6 years, the convection fan is getting a little loud and will probably fail soon. The oven will work without the fan. But I looked online, this is a common problem. Wish they would fix it.
I’d still recommend it.
I've had a Breville smart oven for about 13-15 years (so long now that I dont' remember exactly when I got it). I absolutely love it. It still works very well, except that the convection fan recently began to sound like a jet engine. I will replace it with another Breville when the time comes. Excellent appliance.
The fan on mine stopped seized up doesn’t work. I think that’s one common issue with those fans.
Please, the planet begs you, if the only thing that is a problem is the fan please have a qualified small appliance company replace the fan.
_The idea of gluttonous first world countries tossing things into landfills irks me.. cheers!_
Would like to have seen what brands of toaster ovens you tested and gotten more details on their performance.
Yeah, my convection fan busted too. Then the start switch. I just bought a new one. (King Arthur has a magnificent sale on them)
This would have been much more useful if you told us which ovens you tested, and showed the rankings for them.
I can attest to the Breville. It's still a workhorse in my kitchen after 12+ years and I use it more than my full-size oven. It's pricier, but from an ROI standpoint, it can't be beat. I've given Breville ovens as presents to family and they were instantly converted.
I bought a Brevelle many years ago based on your previous video with Lisa. I love it. Sadly, the convection fan stopped working but otherwise it's still working hard. I use it more than my regular oven.
Same here fan died
@@nygardenguru I had two that the fan died at 1 and 2 yrs. I'm done with Breville!
Thanks for the video but I would have liked to hear which ovens didn't do so well. The information could have been more detailed as many of us are trying to make a decision.
Where’s the best budget and easiest to clean?
I love my Breville!
We had a wall oven die, and since we were planning a kitchen remodel we didn't want to repair/replace.
Bought a Breville (the exact one tested) and used it as our primary oven for over a year...actually closer to two - thanks Covid pandemic.
I'd urge anyone who is considering purchasing a toaster oven to get a Breville.
You will NOT be disappointed.
Still going strong?
@@FaithTheHolySpirit still going strong!
Ha, we did the same thing with our Breville. I still use it but am going to upgrade to their Joule, I think.
The Problem with Breville is years old model no updating on them so because of that NOT %100 stainless steel , still have the Teflon polish here & there in it or on the trays ..i wanna get the rid of all these Teflon coding & airfryers with that Teflon coding , because says coz cancer is everywhere these days now, so i am looking for Pure stainless steel toaster ovens & Glass made airfryers
I have that Breville and can truly attest to its accurate cooking. Really great investment and easy to use!
At your prior recommendation I bought this oven. The first one showed up D.O.A. I had to mess with shipping it to Breville in CA. I was briefly pleased with it when I received the replacement and then the convection fan jammed and caused the electrics to overheat and smoke. I will NOT be buying another Breville product.
Yeah, had a few Oster devices in my house. They all turned out to be lemons. Latest problematic device is a microwave that water/steam has penetrated the coating inside the unit and has rusted. Didn't have that microwave for long before the issue developed.
I had one of their Oster toasters, bought it in 2017, or 18 and it barely lasted 2 years before it failed completely, not the element itself, but the circuit board and would not always lock the lever when pushed down, nor did it release and the final straw was it caused the toast to begin to catch on fire one morning. I bought a Cuisinart basic white toaster and it's been great, going on 3 years I think now.
A major surprise was the cheap toaster I bought in 2005, I think, a red plastic shelled Farberware unit at Big Lots and it toasted toast quite well, and reliably until the heating element finally went on one side of one slot, killing the toaster, never mind it was getting all faded on part of one side from years of exposure to the western sun in my kitchen.
I've had an Oster toaster oven and aside from the low price it was terrible. It can't maintain heat very well and my model had the horrible one knob for toast and 60 minute timer, so the toast settings were tiny and hard to set so you don't burn your toast.
Happy to say I own the Breville Smart Oven and I agree it’s the best !
I have a counter top oven. I have not used it yet.
Hamilton beach oven
Same for me, hands down the best toaster oven I have ever had.
Ditto.
Same here. Living alone, it makes cooking in the summer bearable and doesn't require a ton of cleanup afte!
I had a Breville Smart Oven and on the third week the glass window exploded sending shattered glass throughout the kitchen area.Thank God I had just stepped into the dinning area. After researching the internet, I learned that this was a common occurrence of the Brveille Smart Oven. Do your own homework before investing in a Breville product.
Would be nice to have a full length video where the details and results of the experiments ran on each oven is shown.
Right? He lists off all their review criteria, indicates that several ovens met their expectations, and only mentions the "winner" rather than contrasting the top ovens. Smells like this was paid for by Breville.
I love my Breville toaster oven. I actually have the Mini, which is perfect for some precious counter space!
The Panasonic FlashXpress Toaster Oven with Double Infrared Heating is my favorite. It's compact, but it's so useful!
I'm getting ready to buy a new/replacement toaster oven and was surprized to not find my Hamilton Beach x-large oven 31107D as a top contender.
This will be my third od this 311 model. It works superbly even for large casseroles. I even make the ATK deep dish pan pizza (10 inch cast iron) every weekend.
I do offer these tips for all larger toaster ovens...
1. Use an oven thermometer if actual temperature is important.
2. Use a small pizza tile or small cast iron pan to help stabilize the temperature when putting in a large, cold casserole dish.
3. Use a good timer with alarm and set it to a short time... say 40 min out of an hour. Then rotate the pan/dish/pot and cook for the remainder of time.
4. Take notes on your cooking tiem and temperature settings. Adjust as needed. Most of us cook the same several meals over and over. Cook these according to your notes.
5. When it is hot - put your toaster oven outside and cook your meal while you keep the kitchen cooler.
I got the Hamilton-Beach model ATK used to recommend and I was extremely disappointed; toast takes forever, if it’s hearty bread like a sourdough it doesn’t brown at all but simply dehydrates, oven temp is well below the setting, the tray that came with it has a convex rectangle for who knows what reason … I could go on. I’m glad they are recommending something else now.
Your point #5 is excellent.
I grew up watching these people on America's Test Kitchen! Instead of watching Saturday morning cartoons, I'd watch all the cooking shows on PBS (I know, I was a weird kid). Glad to see they're going strong!
That's hilarious, but many of us can relate. Cooking shows were my sister's and my favorite from kidergarten.
We've had the Breville Smart Oven for 11+ years and it's still going strong. Our Breville toaster died years ago, so we just make toast in the oven now and it works perfectly.
We got one for out wedding 8 years ago. We use it daily and it's still going strong. My only qualm is that it's hotter towards the front. It's easily fixed by rotating what we bake 180°.
When i bought my first house, my mother got the breville for me. About 10-11 years later the fan died. Within that time, I got married, and my wife also fell in love with the smart over, so we replaced it with the same model. It gets used more than our full size oven.
I got the big brother to this the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro. Air fries, convection oven, roaster, toaster absolutely love it. Haven't used my conventional oven since I don't know when.
A few years ago we had a beach house and I didn't want to build a full kitchen out as it was basically a "beach shack" so we chose a few Breville countertop appliances and they all go strong to this day. I honestly didn't know the name before our first purchase, a juicer, but now I'm aware that it's actually one of the best companies for quality appliances! Who knew??
Breville's suck. Just wait until you get the dreaded "E06" error.
I’ve been using a Hamilton beach brand toaster oven almost daily since I got my first apartment back in June of 2009. Sometimes I use it multiple times a day. It’s going on 14 years now.
Same, great unit. I can only hope the next one will be as reliable.
@@whitehat55 Hopefully I can get another 14 years out of it.
No best buy?
My Oster toaster oven seems to have very good temperature control. Pizza comes out perfect and very even without turning it. It does a great job on chicken thighs. It's large enough that I rarely use the regular oven. My only two beefs are that you can't change time or temperature without turning it off and the beeping sounds when starting and finishing are far too loud.
I live in an RV and my Oster handles light duty heating of the kitchen. Turn on the bake function and open the door. Has been strong for about three years now. I love it.
This is the first ATK review that I really disagree with. I I've had 2 Brevilles, and both were great for baking & roasting, but terrible at making toast, or toasting bagels. So I had to by a cheap, traditional 2 slice toaster just to make toast. I noticed your review did not comment oh how well (or not) the Breville made toast. I think I know why.
I challenge ATK to do a side by side comparison of a Breville and a traditional toaster - even a cheap old fashion toaster will beat any Breville at making toast (and a vintage toaster would ANNIHILATE the Breville).
What, no response from ATK?
@@gsp0819kri I have owned two of these Brevilles, neither of which was any good (despite what ATK reports) at toasting bread or bagels when compared to an old school inexpensive toaster. So I was surprise and disappointed when ATK claimed otherwise. The Breville is a great tiny oven, and I use it for many things - except toasting bread & bagels. For that, an inexpensive toaster beats it every time.
I got the same Breville Smart Oven based on this recommendation, overall it's worked great. However, over time, oil eventually gunked up around the convection fans, which now makes a loud whirring sound when on. Meanwhile the oven is not designed to be owner-serviceable--the fans are not easily accessible, and the oven as a whole uses clips and pins that are difficult if not impossible to put back together if taken apart.
If you're making toast and things that don't splatter it should be fine, and I still use it as a normal toaster oven, but just be warned that if anything fails it's very difficult to address.
We had problems with convection and loud noises too, but Breville had us send it back. There was a charge, but not anywhere near the cost of the original oven. They sent a brand new oven and it’s been going longer than the original one.
I'd give Brevell a call. Thy stand behind their stuff.
@@ghanus2009 I bought it on ebay from a private seller, and they don't warranty that. Just the risk of purchasing at a steep discount, so I'm fine with it. Even without convection it works great for my needs, luckily my oven has a convection fan so I don't miss it much.
I have the Cuisinart TOB-260N1 Chef's Convection Toaster Oven ... and after five years, still LOVE it.
The one with "squiggly lines" has the legend on the glass door. (3:24)
Still have an original Breville Smart Oven - it's remarkable for how versatile and perfectly it cooks almost everything.
I still have the original too!
Black & Decker used to make a model that you could attach to the under-the-cabinet, so it was off the countertop: the Spacemaker. We had one for 12 years and only stopped using it because we moved. It was fantastic for its design--from about 2002.
Still have mine and working fine after 25 years!
Many years ago I bought the oven from Breville cause at you audition (at the time on this channel) Breville oven came out with the best performance in all the tests! Thanks for the tip! My oven still working and it is really amazing! Good to know it still at the top of the winners.
I've had a Calphalon for about 4 years and I love it. It heats up quickly. And I can even bake a loaf of Raisin bread in it. The only issue I have is the notification beeper is a bit quiet. I solved that by setting my microwave timer.
Love my Breville. Glad it’s still the winner
Breville is great, but on mine, the controls have an electronic defect. It is common. The mode can get "stuck". Have to press in the knob to change. Also, the part to fix is impossible to find.
I have the same issue with mine. I have to press the start button multiple times in various locations to get it to turn on. Same with the convention fan. But the oven itself works fine and I know the trick to get it to work, so I’m going to keep it for a while longer. Will probably replace it with the same one despite this issue.
I solved the issue with counter space by getting a kitchen cart that I can put it on at the end of my island near the outlet. Gives me a couple shelves to store other things.
I would agree. I have the larger version. In it we toast croissants, open or closed, rehet foods, air fry, I baked a 12 lb turkey perfectly a few times, made tons f pizzas. I have not yet dried fruits etc.
The only thing is cleaning the elements. Gotta be careful. And after air frying wings, its a bit to clean.
but this thing is a work horse. Very good value. I sent one to my daughter when she got her first apt, she uses it every day.
I have had the Breville for 5 years. Have not had a single problem. It does everything well - from toast to roasts. It also has a “bump-out” that lets you put an entire 13” pizza or a large dinner plate on the rack. Highly recommend!
I recently replaced my 3 year old Breville Smart Oven with the newer Joule Breville oven and love it. The app on your phone sets it up to cook various things.
If I were your neighbor I would want to buy that old oven of yours. haha!
Interesting, but more info is needed. I was considering splurging on the Wolf oven, but then read that for its very expensive price, items such as door springs are NOT replaceable, and Wolf's response is for you to shell out for another expensive oven! Other oven manufacturers would not provide a part number so you could easily replace a simple item, but would charge you $215.00 to repair a door spring. I expect a fairly expensive appliance to be made to be serviced, to not easily catch on fire (a problem on some) - and I greatly prefer items made in the USA. Currently considering the GE Couture -
I'm sure it didn't make the cut because of the chicken requirement, but the best toaster ovens I've ever used in my life were from panasonic's "FlashXpress" line. They're infrared ovens so they don't have any preheating time and they're basically like a better version of a microwave.
I was going to comment on this as well.
The FlashXpress really is an excellent toaster oven.
I find it a bit odd that they decided to go for the giant “smart oven” type category as opposed to a more traditionally sized toaster oven.
I had a Proctor-Silex that lasted over 30 years, and the other day I found a fully working second-hand one of the same model which I immediately snatched up.
ONLY THE OLD ONES ARE GOOD NOW. THE NEWER ONES AREN'T GOOD
Thanks for the Breville commerical, NOT!! Hoping to hear about the others. But no, Just a bunch of Yakety Yak. I love Breville products but not what i came to your chanel for.
WHY doesn’t Breville make a TEFLON FREE interior toaster oven … come on Breville !!!! You would sell sooo much more !, and keep our families healthy
right? I was completely sold on the Breville until I read it has nonstick coating on the interior. They have a panini/contact grill that is teflon free - why not use that coating on the toaster oven?
Hi, I'm looking for a toaster oven that is able to reheat pastries like croissants perfectly. Which would be the best toaster oven for that?
The bagel function works really well,we got this to use in the summer to keep the house cool.It stays in the garage year round.Adam also did not mention that it has a convection feature as well.Highly recommend the Breville.
I have the Breville Smart oven. I used it as my primary oven for 7 years. It also air fries and dehydrates beautifully.
My Breville Smart Oven's fan died after a year. Very disappointing.
i dont get it the wolf gourmet is nowhere to be seen when it is obviously a better oven then the breville yet at the end of the video it is stating that the video was possible bcz of wolf compagnie whats going on?
Is there such thing as a self cleaning toaster oven ? I found toaster ovens to be very hard to clean 😡😡👎👎
So look for a toaster that has the quartz element. I'm guessing. Gotta remember that.
Strange - the video starts out talking about counter space, then you rule out the Ninja Foodi with your 4 # chicken. The Ninja Foodi is great AND it flips up out of the way to give back the space. Ruling out that oven because of the 4# chicken is stupid. Nobody uses a toaster oven to cook them. Ninja must not have given you money.
@@sandrah7512 OK, whatever. My Foodi does air-fry, but it also has regular bake, toast, seer, broil, etc. Not sure why you brought up the basket either - you didn't use that in your video. Anyway, I love mine. I use it for baking, seering & air-frying. It's very versatile AND it flips up and saves counter space (which you did mention but blew it off). It's a very popular oven and you chose not to include it.
Cheapo Black and Decker is on my counter. I use it daily.
Fire hazard u got there
Been using them for 20+ years- zero fires. @@CoockieMonster305
I’m sure the Breville is wonderful - but for those who don’t want to spend $200, I can recommend the Black & Decker 4 slice toaster oven. It runs around $40. I’ve had it for 6 years (so durable!), and it produces nicely browned pieces of toast. It’s also good for melting cheese on sandwiches and making frozen pizzas. I wouldn’t try to roast a 4 pound chicken in there though :P
BLACK N' DECKER IS POOR QUALITY JUNK. YOU'RE LUCKY
Which model?
I have a generic one under $20. Just a timer on it. Toasts bread well. Toasts pizza and while sandwiches well. It just works. I'm disgusted by all the junk here.
My $40 Black and Decker is 11 years old and starting to not work so great, so give yourself another 5 years of use
i don’t have a lot of counter space at the moment, but I moved with a breville smart oven Air, which is a giant. but i love it, and had to make room for it.
I easily take a small skillet of fish/pork/beef/chicken from stove to oven and finish its cooking, which I love. Also great for quick roasting at high temps. No need to heat up a big oven.
I bought a Smart Oven in 2015 along with a DuxTop Gold induction cooker. I've kept it going ever since; replaced a fuse once in a super-simple repair. These two appliances have almost completely replaced my garbage Amana electric range that came with the house when I bought it in 2003. The SmartOven will cook nearly anything, takes the quarter sheet pan like a champ, and is very energy efficient while doing it.
Surprisingly, you didn't mention insulation as a contributor to maintaining proper temperature. The Breville ovens have better insulation than many other brands.
Big fan of the Breville Mini Smart Oven. it's got a 10x10 interior, and is just as good as its full-size sibling.
Have this and toast is dry like crouton. Great for reheat, baking small batches, cobblers in ramekins!
The Breville for me was too expensive, so I bought a Calphalon, which is excellent.
I've been using my toaster oven to keep my kitchen cooler in The Hottest Summer Ever. Not exaggerating.
Could you please suggest a good toaster oven for a lower price point?
I got the Breville many years ago based on ATKs recommendation and have also converted my inlaws. I currently have two!
I love my oyster from Costco! So much better than my oven. My oven can’t even bake a potato. So if the oyster brand of off in Temperatur, just imagine how bad my oven is lol 😂
We are VERY happy with our current toaster oven! It is a multi-function unit that includes an air fryer and a rotisserie along with toasting baking and roasting.
Great reminder for uses for my Breville. I generally don’t think about it until the holidays when I need more cooking space. I’m going to incorporate it into my daily cooking for roasted side dishes
My friend's "fold-up" Ninja toaster oven leaks cooking greases everywhere. It leaks whether it's folded up or laying flat... disgusting.
My friend had the same problem. Couldn't keep it clean
It seems like they all have a way to go on being easy to clean. I will be glad when someone finally enamels the inside, like a quality oven. Air fryers too!
I've been watching Americas test kitchen and buying the cooking books for years, plus follow many recipes Chris Kimbell years, I might add, but I've always trusted your ratings and tried many recipes with great results, Thank you for your services ALL
I have that Breville. Bought it after that last recommendation. It takes 5 minutes for a piece of toast. At that point it’s pretty close to a big crouton. You give minimal information. At this point it’s just endorsements.
I was surprised by the quality of the toast he makes! Really amazing.
I think their info is behind a pay wall
I have both the Breville oven and a Breville toaster wouldn’t trade them for anything
@@axeavier Paying or not, it's the best option. Everything they said is true.
Why didn’t you try the WOLF toaster oven in your tests? It’s much more expensive then buying cheap O’s.
I love your show. I learn so much. I have so many of your fabulous books. Also I always check your equipment list of good products and that's what I purchase. Thanks so much.
We bought the Breville 10 years ago on ATK’s recommendation. It’s still going strong. We have also have gifted it twice.
I hope that Air Fryer/Toaster Ovens are on the list of future reviews....this is a more reasonable appliance to have in the kitchen
The convection feature ovens like the Breville is an air fryer.
@@C2C. Sorry not quite......Air Fryer uses more pronounced air flow.....convection air flow not as powerful ...I could be wrong but that's how I see it using both ways
@@mikenyc1589 As I understand it, it depends on the appliance. I use my convection like an air fryer and it works well.
@@sandrah7512 thxs...I was hoping for a more diverse testing other than saying the Breville is the best
@@sandrah7512 thxs for being so thorough in responding ....I was hoping to see the Cuisinart Airfryer that I just got....
Why don't you give a "best budget" model (in addition to the best overall) like other reviews on ATK?
If you're just going to pick the best, why include models down to $43? We all know that a $43 model will not compete with a $250 model.
And you start off saying that counter space is valuable, but your rating did not seem to factor in the size.
Tell me which is the best compact-size model with a price under $125.
I have a Breville Smart oven, they probably ironed this out, but my oven began to just shut off mid cooking and some have said thermal fuse is issue, not sure about that, but it seems to happen more often than it should with people.
"If you're lucky enough to have the counter space..." PLEASE! Forget the counter space, just be "lucky enough" to have $250 to buy that Breville! LOL
I would appreciate knowing why the Ninja DT251 or Ninja DCT451 didn't make the list.
Just bought Breville,paid $279 on Amazon. Had a large INSTA pot toaster over.Touch pad stopped working after 2 years.
I still can't believe the Breville won. Having owned several of them, I agree its a great 2nd oven, but ATK has really lost creditability by continuing to rank it as the best "TOASTER" oven, 'cause they CAN'T MAKE TOAST!!
Will someone please bring Kimball back!!
I have had this Breville smart oven for about tree years and love it!! Highly recommend it!
Proctor-Silex is the worse. I was told that's the appliances brand for the immigrants, when I just moved to the US, and they were absolutely right. At least 15-20 years ago, their appliances were very cheap, irons, blender, toasters, you name it. They usually lasted just for a few months, sometimes weeks. I don't know if they improved quality now, though, because I never ever waste my money again with that brand.
Okay, worst comparison I have seen you guys do. You didn't demonstrate a comparison AT ALL. You didn't say out loud any other name except your winning prize. 👎👎👎👎 🤔 Sorry, something fishy with this one.
