I wanted a toaster oven that was built well, solid and easy to operate.  The Breville Compact Smart Oven met my needs.  I was concerned the unit may get too hot, however, allowing proper clearances on the back and sides, my concerns were no more.  Toast is heated evenly according to the darkness that was set.  The unit is compact and the size is perfect for my counter top.  Breville products are solid and well built.
