After nearly 2 years this is still the BEST oven I have bought.

published

LG $1000 oven was not a patch on this one. We have now deleted our 'normal' oven and just use this one. Most reviews are just after the purchase. I have been using this one for almost 2 years now and it has never let me down. I cook a lot and can not fault this oven. Sometimes I wish I could fit my larger pans inside, but I have now adapted. The main thing I have noticed is that it is much quicker than other ovens, probably as there is not so much space to heat. I have used all functions and can thoroughly recommend this product. If it died tomorrow I would go out and buy another. Well done Breville.

Love this oven!

published

Got this oven from my friends for my birthday! Best gift ever!
This compact oven is so easy to use and has so many pre set cooking functions, we mainly use this oven now and dont use our conventional oven anymore.
The only negative point is that the light in the oven stopped working after a few months of usage!

Loving this little oven.

published

Excellent small oven. Way big enough for 3 adults. It’s a generous size and fits most of my main oven dishes. Quick to heat up and extremely easy to navigate your way around the settings. Very easy to keep clean as well. Haven’t used the main oven since we got it. A+ review

Great little versatile cooker

published

We had the previous model the BOV800 now we have the Pro version BOV845 which replaced it. It now comes with internal light and Slow Cooker setting.
Same price as the previous model. Excellent value and economy.
All digital readout...no brainer so easy to use. I cannot recommend this product enough.

Great Product & Super Handy!

published

I needed a smaller oven for small cook ups or to cook food quickly without turning on my 900mm oven. I got the Breville Smart Oven on special and it has been my best kitchen appliance purchase. It’s easy to use and has many pre set cooking functions. It’s well built and it’s not flimsy like other similar ovens. I’ve now got rid of my toaster and I use the Breville just as often as my conventional oven.

. Back to Hervey Norman tomorrow will keep you informed!

Hervey Norman happily vreplaced the oven with the latest model. The whole procedure took about 20 minutes. Great service and I have a new oven. Can't live without our Breville smart oven!

Breville Smart Oven

published

Have had this oven for more than 14yrs & hasn't missed a beat. Would recommend to anyone as a second oven. Doesn't take long to heat up to required temperature (not like conventional ovens which take some time) so very cost effective. Have re-heated, bake cakes etc, used for slow cooking it is fantastic.

Wife wanted an oven which is easy to use and works well. Used it multiple times and still going strong. Easy to clean and can't fault it. Got a good deal when we bought it at The Good Guys.
She's very happy and even I know how to operate it.

Simple, functional and worth it.

published

No microwave in our household and living in a hot climate means heating up the oven heats the whole house even in Summer. This benchtop oven is used multiple times a day in our family and has cut our electricity bill massively! Safety wise I know it will stop at the end of the cooking time in case I get distracted. Even my young sons use it confidently!

beyond a toaster oven

published

seems to be able to do most everything you can with a full sized oven as long as it fits. plenty of settings makes it easier to cook something unfamiliar. easier to clean and light enough that you can put it away while not in use to free up space.

an amazing product

published

When our family became smaller we brought the oven instead of using the big oven.
I am so pleased with how easy it is to use, the instructions are easy to follow, our meals can be cooked in the time it takes the larger oven to heat.
I like how compact the oven is & that it sits nicely on my bench, it is easy to clean & I can cook many different ways.
Also, my electricity bill has dropped, I contrbute this to the oven.
My daughter was impressed with the oven, she to has bought the same design

Great compact oven!

published

We have had this oven for a short time and have successfully baked keto bread, cooked pizza & beef. The temperature control is excellent and it is very easy to use. It has a sturdy build quality, does not take up much bench space and despite looking quite small, it has enough space inside to cook a 12" pizza or a large chicken.

The oven heats up quickly and cooks things very well. We have had to lower temperatures and / or times for recipes to avoid overcooking or burning. It has a sturdy door with a magnetic function that pull out the hot tray part way if you are using the middle rack - nice feature.

Overall we are very happy with this purchase.

Really impressive!

published

Love this Oven. Have had it for month or so now... Has been really good with roasts and pizzas. A must have appliance if you don't have a proper oven.

The preset functions makes life so easy. Just place the stuff in and spin the dial to item you are after!

Go for it!

Best of the bunch among its piers

published

Pretty good all round oven for someone cooking smaller quantities. Good grill, bake and roast functions eliminating the need for other bench top appliances. Gets to a decent heat which is why I purchased this model - some are no better than toasters. Good to have the light inside and fan for faster cooking

Amazing.

published

I needed a small convection oven to be used alongside a main oven. This solution was perfect. It cooks the food fairly evenly and quickly and although the exterior does get (understandably) hot, the heat quickly dissipates. The digital menu is friendly and accessible & overall it has been a good experience.

Truly the best!

published

I decided on the Breville Smart Oven Pro BOV845 after going through heaps of review on Amazon and here. This little oven has been amazing since we bought it. It heats up very quickly and cooks very evenly. I think it does a far better job than my full size Miele oven, which we hardly use anymore. We no longer have to heat up a whole big oven just to roast a chicken fillet, some vegetables, or even an entire chicken. All the functions work as they are meant to, and we use it almost twice daily to whip up meals and snacks for the family. Cleaning is also a breeze with the removable crumb tray. It is definitely highly recommended!

Questions & Answers

Pat

Patasked

Breville BOV845 -- for bake setting, timer is stuck at 30 minutes. Won't adjust. Oven will reach temperature and then start count down but I cannot change the time setting either up or down. For other setting the same thing happens...timer stays at preset time and won't adjust.

Need help.

Thanks,

Pat

Hi Pat, I haven't actually had this problem, but I have found Breville to be absolutely excellent when it comes to replacing faulty products. Get in touch with the supplier from whom you bought the machine, and give them your receipt number and they'll fix it or replace it.

My Breville toaster (just out of warranty) is making a low pitched noise, sometimes a high pitched noise and also lights flash on the display. Something is really wrong. When you tap it on the side, it stops and then functions normally. This also happens when it’s not in use. I’ was told the repair will cost $120 so, I’d like to fix it myself. Any ideas?

No idea about the toaster. My entry was related to the oven.
