Breville the Smart Oven BOV800XL
Breville the Joule Oven Air Fryer Pro (Toaster Oven)
The Breville the Joule Oven Air Fryer Pro (Toaster Oven) and the Breville the Smart Oven BOV800XL both offer good performance, and you may want either depending on your priorities. They offer similar toasting performance: both models toast evenly but tend to leave one side darker than the other, and they take a while to produce golden brown toast. The BOV800XL preheats more quickly, and it maintains a slightly more stable temperature, making it a better choice for baking and reheating leftovers, since it's less likely to burn or dry out your recipes. The Joule Oven, on the other hand, provides more even air frying. It leaves your food crisper and finishes cooking faster. The Joule Oven is also more versatile, thanks to its lower minimum temperature and more powerful fan motor. Both options are roomy and easy to clean.
