The Breville Smart Oven is down to its best price in 5 years: 'Heats up so fast'

Where would we be without the humble toaster? It takes a slice of bread from limp to crispy and golden brown, forever elevating breakfast. We thank it for its contributions, but we have to admit — we've got our eye on its larger sibling, the toaster oven. Specifically, the Breville Smart Oven: It has so many cooking functions, it could probably replace your full-size range in most instances. That alone appeals to us, but the fact that it's on rare sale for $187 (down from $270)? Now we're cookin'!

Why is it a good deal? 💰

Our price trackers tell us this top-seller hasn't been on sale for this low since ... wait for it ... 2019! So if you're on the fence, don't risk having to wait another five years. Breville is a highly respected brand, so you can rest assured you're getting a top-tier product — even Martha Stewart is a fan!

Why do I need this? 🤔

Sometimes you want something warm and comforting for dinner — roasted chicken and vegetables, perhaps — but the thought of waiting for the oven to preheat is enough to make you resort to a bowl of cereal. The Breville Smart Oven heats up in no time and, according to the brand, cooks up to 30% faster than other methods as well.

That's because it's a convection-style oven, meaning it has a fan to distribute heat throughout the unit; conventional ovens only have heat sources at the top and bottom. In spite of its compact size, it's roomy enough to hold quite a bit of food: six slices of bread, a 13-inch pizza or even a 6-cup muffin tray. Not to mention, it comes with a 12" x 12" baking pan, a 12" x 12" broiling rack and a 13" pizza pan.

It has dedicated settings for toast, bagels, pizza and cookies, and its functions include baking, roasting, broiling, reheating and warming. That means many of those cozy meals you have planned for the colder seasons can be made right in this multitasking machine. Once you're finished cooking, the nonstick interior makes for easy cleaning.

What reviewers say 💬

More than 6,500 Amazon customers were so impressed by the Breville Smart Oven, they thought it was deserving of a perfect five-star rating.

Pros 👍

"I'm a convert," declared an impressed shopper. "It basically replaces most uses for my gas oven. It heats evenly, but doesn't give off much heat or smoke, even on the 'pizza' setting or [when] broiling meat."

"We hardly use the oven anymore!" echoed a second. "It makes perfect bagels, cooks everything ... roasts/broils great, and reheats my lunch just the way I like it (no splatters or hot spots like the microwave). It heats up so fast, our dinner is done 10 (or more) minutes sooner. I LOVE this oven!"

"We have used it for roasting pork, pizza, grilling cheese sandwiches, toasting bread and reheating food that would wind up soggy if heated in the microwave," shared a third. "It performed all of those things to my satisfaction. The removable bottom tray simplifies cleanup." And once warmer weather rolls around? "Not having to use the large oven and dumping all of that heat into the house in the summertime keeps the kitchen cooler and the air conditioner from working to overcome that extra heat."

Cons 👎

"Can't say enough about the quality — it's great and precise heating," said a mostly pleased user. "I do have a small complaint about the 'beep' — it's loud."

"This toaster oven is very efficient," wrote a final fan. "It bakes, roasts, broils and toasts. It's large enough for casseroles and cakes." Their one qualm? "I do wish it had an interior light so you could see your food as it is cooking."

We mentioned that Martha Stewart loves this brand, and her favorite Breville espresso maker is on sale too:

Stewart recently included this No. 1 bestseller in her holiday gift guide for US Weekly, calling it "the best" and saying it'll inspire recipients to "get rid of those pods and make real coffee." Of course, the best gifts are often the ones we treat ourselves to, and if you appreciate a good cup o' joe, you can't do much better than this.

Equipped with a grinder that has 16(!) settings, the machine allows you to customize your brew to make your ideal cup. There's also a built-in steam wand to froth up milk for foamy lattes and cappuccinos — cold-weather comfort right in your own kitchen. A combo of low water pressure pre-infusion and a digital temperature control ensures you get the most flavor out of your beans. No bitter mud water to see here! It's also marked down to one of the best prices we've seen all year, and it'll save you money on Starbucks in the long run.
