A compact countertop oven for small kitchens that still want real baking and broiling, not just toast. The interior is tight, so a full family meal at once is out of reach.

Overview
Not a full size wall oven, this is a countertop unit built for small spaces. A dial selects one of the preset functions, and Element IQ moves the power around the cavity to suit each one. The dropdown door opens to a nonstick interior with three rack positions and a crumb tray that slides out from the front.
Cooking here is mostly a matter of turning one dial and pressing start, with the oven remembering the times and temperatures you set for each function. The footprint is the point: it fits where a full oven cannot, and the presets cover toast, bagels, pizza, cookies, roasting and reheating without a manual. The limitation is volume, since the cavity holds a single pizza or a few slices at a time, so feeding several people means cooking in rounds.
Who it's for
Someone in a studio, camper or second kitchen who wants baking, broiling and toasting from one appliance on the counter. Skip it when the household regularly cooks large meals, because the cavity only holds a little at a time.
Pros and cons
- Eight presets cover toast through roast
- Element IQ shifts power between elements
- Remembers manual time and temperature changes
- Nonstick interior with three rack positions
- Small cavity limits batch cooking
- Baking pan and rack are the only accessories
Performance notes
The heating elements rest above and below the cavity, and the sensor technology redirects power between them according to the selected function, which is why toast and broil behave differently from bake. Cooking time and temperature are calculated from the preset rather than left to guesswork, though the manual dials let you override both. The tempered glass door and coated steel body hold heat, and the racks can be moved between the three positions to change how close food rests to the elements.

Frequently asked questions
What comes in the box with the Breville BOV650XL?
The oven ships with a 10 by 10 inch enamel baking pan and a 10 by 10 inch enamel broiling rack. Those two pieces are the listed included components, so any other accessory you want has to come from elsewhere.
How does the Breville BOV650XL decide cooking time and temperature?
For each of the eight preset functions, Element IQ adjusts the power and calculates the cooking time automatically. You can also turn the second dial to set the time from one minute up to two hours and the temperature from 120 to 450 degrees F, and the oven remembers those adjustments for next time.
Can I use Celsius temperatures with the Breville BOV650XL?
Yes. The control panel has a temperature conversion button for recipes written in Celsius, so you do not have to convert them yourself before setting the oven.
How do I clean the inside of the Breville BOV650XL?
The interior is nonstick, and a front access crumb tray slides out for quick cleanup of crumbs that fall through the racks. The door is tempered glass and the body is coated steel, so wipe surfaces rather than soaking the unit.
Where can the racks go in the Breville BOV650XL?
There are three rack positions inside the cavity. Moving the rack changes how close the food rests to the elements, which matters when you switch between toasting and broiling.
