Breville BOV450XL Mini Smart vs Panasonic FlashXpress Digital Toaster Oven

Overall Verdict

The Breville BOV450XL Mini Smart Toaster Oven and the Panasonic FlashXpress Digital Toaster Oven (NB-G110P) are both in our top list for the small category. As our best-to-buy pick, the Breville has higher scores than the Panasonic—our best energy-saving pick—in all aspects. Here’s why.

The Breville has a rare non-stick interior coating for easy cleaning, and its accessories also have it. Most importantly, the Breville has a higher build quality than the Panasonic, shown in its sturdier and thicker casing for better heat insulation.

The Breville also has a more detailed and expansive timer and temperature control, as well as more convenient cooking presets. Although, the Panasonic has internal lighting that’s rare in a small unit, something the Breville doesn’t have.

While the Breville has better performance scores, we expected more from its high power output. It has the best toast score in all of our tested small units, but similar scores to the Panasonic in other tests.
