5 Best Breville Toaster Ovens of 2026

This game-changing powerhouse redefines what a countertop oven can do. With its Element iQ System guiding five independent quartz elements and super convection that slashes cooking time by up to 30%, the Breville BOV900BSS delivers professional-grade precision in a home kitchen. Whether you’re air frying crispy wings or slow roasting a 14-pound turkey, the oven’s intelligent temperature control and elimination of cold spots make it a dream for cooks who demand consistency and speed—finally solving the frustration of unevenly cooked meals.

In real-world testing, this oven shines brightest when multitasking across demanding functions. The 16 x 13.5-inch cavity easily fits a 9-slice toast spread or a full-size Dutch oven for slow cooking, while the mesh basket rack turns dehydrating apples or jerky into a hands-off process. Air frying performs exceptionally, producing golden fries with minimal oil, and the dual-speed convection fan adapts seamlessly between delicate cookies and searing roasts. That said, its sheer size demands serious counter space—don’t expect this beast to tuck neatly beside your coffee maker.

Compared to the BOV860BSS, the BOV900BSS is the undisputed king of capacity and versatility, adding Proof and Dehydrate functions and fitting larger cookware. It’s ideal for families, meal preppers, or anyone replacing multiple appliances with one smart hub. While it shares the same 1800W power and Element iQ brain, the Pro model justifies its position with expanded functionality and pro-level control—making it a more complete kitchen centerpiece than its slightly smaller sibling.

Meet the sweet spot of performance and practicality—the Breville BOV860BSS packs flagship-grade tech into a more accessible package. Its Element iQ System and 1800W power deliver the same intelligent heat distribution as pricier models, making air frying, roasting, and baking consistently excellent. With super convection slashing cooking times by up to 30%, this oven turns weeknight dinners into fast, flavorful wins—especially for those tired of soggy microwave reheat or oven preheats that eat into precious time.

In daily use, the BOV860BSS proves it’s built for real-life cooking. The 13.5 x 11.5-inch interior handles six slices of toast, a 13-inch pizza, or a whole chicken with ease, and the dedicated Air Fry setting produces crispy results rivaling standalone fryers. The LCD display clearly tracks preheat and countdown, and the enamel roasting pan resists sticking even with sticky glazes. However, it lacks the Proof and Dehydrate functions of the BOV900BSS, limiting its appeal for sourdough bakers or snack dehydrators.

Positioned as the best value, this model outperforms most mid-range ovens by borrowing high-end DNA from Breville’s Pro line. It’s the ideal upgrade for small families or serious cooks who want air fry precision without the premium footprint. Compared to the BOV845BSS, it adds Air Fry as a dedicated function and improves on cooking speed—offering a better balance of smart features and affordability than the baking-focused Pro.

If baking and roasting perfection is your kitchen mission, the BOV845BSS is your secret weapon. Its Element iQ System and convection fan work in harmony to eliminate hotspots and deliver even browning across cookies, roasts, and casseroles—no more rotating pans mid-bake. With a fast 1800W preheat, it gets you cooking faster than a full-sized oven, and the Slow Cook function lets you simmer stews for up to 10 hours, automatically switching to Keep Warm when done—perfect for set-it-and-forget-it meals.

Real-world performance confirms its reputation: cookies come out uniformly golden, roasted chicken skins crisp beautifully, and pizzas cook with a satisfying char. The 13.5 x 11.5-inch cavity fits standard baking sheets and 9-cup muffin tins, making it practical for family-sized batches. While it lacks a dedicated Air Fry mode, you can still achieve crispiness using convection and high heat—just not as effortlessly as models with optimized airflow. That said, it’s not the best for fry lovers, but a roasting and baking champion through and through.

Stacked against the BOV860BSS, the BOV845BSS trades Air Fry convenience for superior slow cooking and baking control—making it ideal for home bakers and comfort food enthusiasts. It’s the go-to for anyone who values precision over multi-function flash, offering deeper culinary flexibility in traditional cooking methods. While it shares the same capacity and wattage as its air fry sibling, it delivers more nuanced heat management for delicate tasks—a clear win for purists.

Don’t let the compact size fool you—the BOV650XL is a precision-focused powerhouse that delivers full-oven results in a space-saving design. With the same Element iQ System as its larger cousins, it intelligently directs heat from five quartz elements to ensure toast comes out evenly browned and pizzas achieve a crispy crust. Its 12 x 10-inch interior may be small, but it’s optimized for efficiency—perfect for singles, couples, or kitchens where counter real estate is at a premium.

In practice, this oven excels at small-batch cooking and quick meals. It toasts four slices evenly, handles a 12-inch pizza, and roasts a whole chicken with surprising ease. The non-stick cavity makes cleanup a breeze after cheesy melts or saucy bakes, and the LCD display provides clear feedback on preheat and timing. However, its 8-function limit means no Slow Cook or Air Fry—so don’t expect to replace your crockpot or air fryer. It struggles with large dishes, and baking multiple trays at once isn’t feasible.

Compared to the newer Smart Oven Air Fryer Compact (B0F49RLPS4), the BOV650XL lacks modern touches like guided recipes or Crispy Reheat, but it remains a reliable, no-nonsense performer for basic countertop needs. It’s the best choice for those who want Breville’s signature precision without extra bells and whistles—ideal for minimalist kitchens or as a secondary oven. While it shares the same wattage and compact footprint, it offers fewer smart features than its newer counterpart—a trade-off for simplicity.

This culinary sidekick for tight spaces brings Breville’s smart cooking tech into the smallest kitchens with confidence. The Crispy Reheat mode is a revelation—reviving yesterday’s fries or fried chicken with golden crispness and moist interiors, thanks to balanced top and bottom heat plus super convection. With five Air Fry and five Smart Cooking functions, it’s built for speed and texture, turning dials instead of apps to get meals done fast—perfect for studio apartments or dorm rooms craving big flavor without bulk.

Testing shows it handles everyday tasks with surprising finesse. The 12 x 10-inch cavity roasts a 4.5-pound chicken, air fries a pound of fries, and toasts four slices evenly—no small feat for its size. The guided recipes in the Breville+ app offer step-by-step cooking support, turning novices into confident cooks with oven-tuned instructions. However, the lack of an LCD screen means you’re relying on dials and beeps, and the no preheat indicator can leave you guessing. It’s not ideal for batch cooking or large families.

Up against the BOV650XL, this model is smarter and more specialized, adding air frying and app integration while keeping the same compact footprint. It’s the best for small kitchens that refuse to compromise on performance, offering modern features the older model lacks. While both share similar dimensions and wattage, this one delivers better texture control and smarter reheat functionality—making it the more future-ready choice for compact living.
