Its overall operation is relatively simple and clear. If you have used Breville products before, you should be familiar with its buttons. There are function buttons, time buttons and corresponding food and quantity selections, as well as preset buttons. Its preset function is what I prefer, with nine preset options: Toast, Bagel, Bake, Broil, Grill, Pizza, Cookies, Reheat, and Keep Warm. It can basically cover all your daily needs for the oven. And its preset functions can be changed and saved by yourself. Next time you can bake directly with the preset functions you set.
How did I tested it？
Image From Breville
In order to better test its taste, I tested it with two of the most commonly baked foods in my daily oven, toast and pizza. I use another oven at home to heat these two foods frequently, and I will compare the difference in baking degree of toast between the bread machine and the oven to have a better reference.
Toast
Because there is a toast option in the preset function, you can just select the toast option, and then select the number of slices you put in. I put in four slices for testing. Then turn the temperature button. The final result of Breville’s oven is very good. The toast slices near the sides of the oven will be more crispy than the toast slices in the middle, but not burnt. My bread machine sometimes burns the toast, and sometimes the toast pops out and falls on the table. The overall texture will be crispier in the oven than in the bread machine.
Pizza
Because I don’t know how to make pizza, I will prepare some quick-frozen pizza at home. In order to test the capacity, I purchased a 12-inch large pizza for testing. It can fit a twelve-inch pizza completely, and you don’t have to worry about debugging time. It adjusts the baking time based on the size of the pizza. In about twenty minutes, we got a golden and crispy pizza, the bottom was not too hard, the cheese on top was not over-baked, and the overall taste was that the surface and bottom were baked well. Although my old oven can also heat pizza, it has no preset function and it is difficult for me to control its temperature. Sometimes it will over bake and affect its taste.
Test results

Operability
I believe many people find it difficult to operate an oven because of its temperature and time control, but Smart Oven has prompts and preset functions, so for daily needs, it does not require you to adjust the temperature and time yourself, but if you If you are familiar with the oven, you can also preset your own time, which has a save function.
Is it worth to buy?
