Our Opinion
Attention all toast enthusiasts and kitchen gadget fanatics! It’s time for a seven-year review of the Breville Toaster Oven, specifically the BOV800XL and BOV845 models. As the staff of the parent game, we’ve had the pleasure (and sometimes frustration) of putting these toaster ovens to the test day in and day out. So, without further ado, let’s dive into our thoughts on these beloved appliances.
First and foremost, let’s talk about the design. The sleek stainless steel exterior of both the BOV800XL and BOV845 models is a real eye-catcher in any kitchen. It’s modern, classy, and most importantly, easy to clean. We’ve all been guilty of neglecting to wipe down our appliances from time to time, but with these toaster ovens, a quick wipe is all it takes to keep them looking brand new.
Now, onto functionality. One of our favorite features of both the BOV800XL and BOV845 is the convection cooking option. This allows for even cooking and consistent results every time. Whether you’re toasting bread, baking cookies, or roasting a chicken, you can trust that your food will come out perfectly cooked. Plus, the preset cooking functions make it a breeze to whip up a quick meal without any guesswork involved.
But let’s not overlook some of the quirks we’ve encountered over the years. One issue we’ve come across is the tendency for the toaster oven to get quite hot on the outside during use. While this isn’t a dealbreaker, it’s something to be aware of, especially if you have young children or pets around. Additionally, the dial controls on the BOV800XL can be a bit finicky at times, requiring some extra patience when selecting the desired settings.
Overall, we can confidently say that the Breville Toaster Oven in both the BOV800XL and BOV845 models has been a reliable workhorse in our kitchen. From its sleek design to its impressive functionality, these toaster ovens have earned their spot as a staple in our cooking routine. So, if you’re in the market for a new toaster oven that can handle anything you throw at it, look no further than the Breville BOV800XL or BOV845. Your toast will thank you.
