Despite its size, this small oven is packed with features that maximize efficiency and performance.

One of the standout features of the Breville BOV450XL is its Element IQ technology.

The oven is equipped with five independent quartz heating elements that provide the necessary heat for a variety of cooking tasks, from roasting to baking.

With the added convenience of a built-in timer, users can easily monitor their cooking progress. The oven features an easy-to-read LCD screen, providing clear information regarding cooking settings and times.

Its compact size does not compromise cooking capacity; the Mini Smart Oven accommodates four slices of toast or a 10-inch pizza, making it quite versatile. The oven's interior is easy to clean, with a non-stick coating and removable crumb tray that simplifies maintenance. Furthermore, Breville has designed the appliance with an interior light, allowing users to keep an eye on their food without opening the door and losing heat.

Energy efficiency is another significant characteristic of this model. Consuming less energy than a full-sized oven, the Breville BOV450XL is ideal for quick meals or small batches, especially for those who live in apartments or smaller homes.
