Breville the Mini Smart Oven

This oven has some annoying, less than good design features. It feels like something designed in a high school industrial arts class. It gets the basic job done, but misses some key features. The oven has a digital read out, timer, temperature control, etc. Why not a digital clock? Seems like a clock would be a reasonable feature on a toaster oven at this price The display continues to blink after the toast cycle has run. Why not have it revert to a clock like the microwave does? The crumb drawer doesn't quite close all the way. Because of this design, you have to pull it (the crumb drawer) open in order to completely open the oven door to remove what's in the oven. The look of the oven is nice, very industrial brushed steel. However it's basically a red hot metal box once you run it. It's fairly good sized, so I have to move everything that is close by and pull the oven away from the under cabinet and wall area (a fair distance) then let it completely cool before touching it and putting it back. My previous cheapo Black and Decker had some insulating features on the top and sides. Also annoying, featured on the front of the door is a plastic "guide" that aligns with where the racks should be inserted depending upon whether you're broiling, cooking toast, bagels, baking, etc. This guide looks like something you would remove. And I would if I could. It also appears to be made of some type of heat resistant plastic, the type that would be helpful on the sides or the top of the oven. All the instructions for where to place the shelves are included in the thick instructions manual. The thick instruction manual is thick because it has the same information in three languages. You can save storage space by using a box cutter to slice away the two thirds of this book you will not need. If Breville did what most appliances do, and offered the manual electronically, as a PDF file, they could save enough money on printing costs to include a digital clock on the unit. I guess if you're really looking for a small cumbersome oven and not a toaster that occasionally fills in as a small oven, this product might be for you. I don't recommend it.
