Panasonic FlashXpress Digital Toaster Oven vs Breville Smart Oven Pro Side-by-Side Comparison

By , , , and ·Updated
Panasonic FlashXpress Digital Toaster Oven vs Breville Smart Oven Pro

Overall Verdict

The small Panasonic FlashXpress Digital Toaster Oven (NB-G110P) couldn’t hold a candle to the large Breville Smart Oven Pro (BOV845BSS). Nonetheless, comparing them is a good way to point out the strengths and weaknesses of both.

The main advantages the Breville has over the Panasonic lie in the former’s design and usability features. Needless to say, these features play into the Breville’s higher price.

The Panasonic has a unique auto-pull rack that, unfortunately, limits the space of its cooking chamber. It also has a few distinct cooking presets that are typical in a Japanese appliance. However, its timer and temperature range aren’t very detailed and expansive.

Meanwhile, the Breville's control panel makes it easier to see and adjust settings for cooking mode, timer, and temperature. It also has dedicated toggles for temperature convection, convection, and frozen foods. The oven also has a non-stick interior for easy cleaning.

The two toaster ovens have decent performance scores. Unfortunately for the Breville, its performance is only slightly higher than the Panasonic.

Despite its low power output, the Panasonic was able to achieve and maintain high temperatures, enough to tie in baking fries and win in baking pizza against the Breville.

The Breville only did slightly better in toasting bread and roasting chicken. It had shorter cooking times but not significant advantages in browning or crisping up the foods.
