Breville BOV450XL vs Black+Decker CTO6335S Toaster Oven

Overall Verdict

The Breville BOV450XL and the Black+Decker CTO6335 stand toe to toe in our performance tests, but the latter has a slight edge. While the Breville is better at making toast and baking french fries, the Black+Decker scores more consistently throughout. It also has the upper hand in baking pizzas and roasting a whole chicken.

Although both ovens have four efficient quartz heating elements, the Breville uses 1800 W, which usually results in better performance compared to the Black+Decker’s 1500 W. However, this strength is hindered by the absence of a convection system and by the inconsistent heating of the elements which is due to the oven’s smart algorithms.

While both have more cooking functions apart from just baking and broiling, the Breville has a slight advantage because of its unique features, including a temperature conversion button. In addition, although both ovens have a control panel that’s easy to use, the Breville’s buttons and dial are more reliable and responsive than the Black+Decker’s.

Both ovens have a slide-out crumb tray and a standard baking rack and pan, but the Black+Decker is equipped with a broiling rack. Though both have a black interior and no internal lighting, the Breville has an edge, thanks to its non-stick coating.

Overall, the Breville BOV450XL is a well-constructed, small-sized, smart countertop toaster oven. On the other hand, the Black+Decker CTO6335 is a good budget, large-sized countertop convection toaster oven with a sturdy tamper-resistant casing.
