The Breville Smart Oven Pro (BOV845BSS) is a large convection toaster oven with some fancy features and the Black and Decker 4 Slice Toaster Oven (TO1760SS) is a small toaster oven with mostly standard features. Thus, it comes as no surprise that the first candidate is the winner.
The Black+Decker is simply equipped with three analog control dials and no interior light for added convenience. In contrast, the Smart Oven Pro has numerous cooking presets and additional toggle switches for convection, temperature conversion, frozen foods, and internal lighting. Its interior also has a non-stick coating which is rare for toaster ovens of any size.
Thanks to its high power output and convection system, the Breville was better than the Black+Decker in almost all of our cooking tests including baking pizza, roasting whole chicken, and baking fries. However, with all those advantages, it didn’t toast bread as evenly and, overall, as well as the Black+Decker.
