It’s the bees knees, plus it’s very economical to use which is a bonus.
My sister has the Breville and recommended the equivalent, Sage, and so far I’m impressed.
However, she cooked a pie on the grid rather than on a baking tray and the contents bubbled over on to the lower elements which I can’t clean.
Also, I didnt wait for Black Friday so I missed out on a reduced price!
I would recommend the oven anyway.
I live in a Park Home and it’s ideal for a shortage of space.
We just moved and upgrading the kitchen so only need a little oven for now. This is excelle
Very happy, straight away cooked pizzas for kids tea, then a whole chicken, and has to be one of the nicest cooked chickens I’ve had in a long time.
So impressed with this Sage smart oven and grill having had it only a week we are now buying the Sage smart microwave
One thing i do like about this oven food seems tastier and doesnt burn even when food placed near the elements
it is easy to clean with a removable crumb tray we placed a sheet of silicone partchment in the crumb tray to keep it clean as it is made of aluminium and youtube videos shows the crumb tray staining
Pizzas cook without burning and toast browns both sides without burning too
If you alter an option time and or temperature it stays active until you switch the device off at the socket
when you switch the oven back on at the socket it reverts back to default settings
all options are advisory and should not be taken as statute food needs to cooked properly especially poultry
It does a great job on toast from our home made bread setting on 4 slices and brown setting 4 run this programme twice 8 minutes for great golden brown toast both sides
Grills sausage and crispy bacon in our new Pro-cook cast iron griddle pan lovely 5 mins a side for bacon and 9 to 10 mins a side for sausage all the fat and oils run into the griddle grooves leaving everything crisp and dry
Would i recommend this oven, yes deffinately
We have now ordered the Sage smart Microwave, no more dried up baked beans and soggy pastry meat pies 🙂
This is better than a normal oven. No more scrubbing cookers out. Wonderful
I am not ready to replace my old cooker, until I have a new kitchen installed next year. This is perfect for my needs. I cannot fault it.
I DO NOT KNOW IF IT IS EASY TO CLEAN AS I HAVE NOT USED IT MORE THAN ONCE AND IT IS NOT YET DIRTY
Ask me again after a month or two.
Aside from the acoustic problem, it’s a decent small oven and I only have minor complaints. With that in mind I won’t repeat the glowing praise other reviews have featured, but I’ll offer a couple of other points to look out for:
1. It only comes with a single wire rack meaning if you want to bake two thin pizzas or whatever you’ll have to buy another rack which is annoying.
2. The supplied baking tray, while being decent in quality, is not completely flat. It has a raised diamond pattern in the middle which means you can’t really bake flat things like cookies using it without their bases being uneven.
3. Not all modes allow preheating and/or convection.
4. When using a programme with preheating, the timer starts as soon as the preheating phase completes. This means you have to hang around and be ready to put your food into the oven or else you lose precious seconds/minutes after the oven has preheated. On other ovens you usually have to press start again after preheating.
Arrived on time and since then have been using it regularly don’t feel guilty, as it warm,s up quick and with it being a fan oven it’s quicker cooking time. It looks good, easier to clean and it is easier to use. So pleased with this little gem!
We are very pleased with our new oven, for its size its powerful. very easy to get used too
Amazing product!! 10/10. Couldn’t ask for more from this oven, does everything, easy to use. Quality and look is great.
This is a great counter top oven so useful for small portions. Can do everything on a small scale. Bake bread cakes etc. Roast meats and veg. I am delighted with this oven heats up quickly and saves on energy costs.
Bought this as a temporary replacement for the busted built-in oven in our kitchen. It’s surprisingly spacious for a diddy oven and swallowed a nice roast chicken the first weekend we had it. We do now have a main oven back, but most of the household prefers to use this because it heats up quickly, has super-easy dials and settings, and if you are just warming something up, making toast or grilling – why not? We will buy again if this one ever packs up!
This is a nice oven and fits well in any kitchen. It is well made and has really good controls. The elements heat up really quickly and the fan makes a controlled heating always occur. Also I like how the light comes on when there’s about a minute left, so you can see your feast.
great this cooker, cooks everthing to a t. the computor system works very well. i have all the sage cookers now
and have not regretted it at all. go for it.
This is a wonderful and easy to use piece of kitchen equipment and very user friendly
The Sage oven really has exceeded our expectations. It looks good and does everything a normal built-in oven/grill does but with using a fraction of the electricity. It heats up super fast and the timer function is really useful.
My wife is the least tech-savvy person you could come across and yet she mastered the controls within minutes.
I recommend using roasting bags when cooking meat and foul – they keep the meat tender and help to keep the oven interior clean.
We cooked a large chicken in the Sage oven the other day and it fitted into the oven with space to spare.
I’ve used every function including baking cakes and they are all great.
Slow cooker feels a lot safer when it’s digital and I’ve gone from slow cooking once or twice per year to slow cooking 3 days a week.
If this is your main oven there are a few things to note:
It is small. If you’re a single person it’s probably fine. For a family it’s not as good. For example it will happily roast a large size supermarket chicken but this takes up the whole oven. If you want roasties etc you need to cook them after the chicken. Same for fish fingers and chips etc- or if just cooking for kids but not family.
Also won’t fit most standard Pyrex or casserole pans. For slow cooking have to use a small le cruset (18cm) casserole pot which is only just big enough for 2 adults, 5 year old and baby. The oven is wide enough to take a larger pot but you are limited by height – bigger dishes tend to be taller . I’ve added photos with standard 400g tin for perspective.
I find I use this oven daily for toast (threw my toaster away as this was much better), pizza, kids fish fingers/ oven chips, roasting a chicken (put it in and the I go out), slow cooking – 3 days per week.
I have never been able to use the timer on a cooker, too fiddly and complicated. This is sooooo simple anyone can do it without the need to read a manual.
There is a newer version available overseas (brevill not sage- this is a brevill cooker with UK ‘sage’ branding). I will be upgrading as soon as it comes!
I have been using this for nearly a year and can’t recommend it highly enough. If you need a countertop cooker there is no better alternative. Or if you keep burning things because you’re so distracted!
I am very impressed with this oven. It is very well thought out and does everything I need.
My only negatives are that the surface is a little difficult to clean off finger marks and the rather important fact that a decent explanatory manual was not included… for the price, I would have expected that. However, I found a comprehensive manual online via Heston Blumenthal.
If you have a small flat or live in a HMO this is a must. Simple to use, easy to keep clean, cooks perfectly
We bought this oven for temporary use while we had a new kitchen installed.
It works really well, just the same as large oven but smaller. Cooked lots of stuff in it, chickens, pies and pizza all good.
Best Buy ever. Use it every day. Love it. You will not regret buying this oven. Wish I had it year’s ago.
Brilliant small oven with many features. I’m using it every day and haven’t used my big oven at all. Hopefully time will sow that I am saving on electricity too.
Had many toaster ovens over the years but this one sure beats them all for ease of use, consistency and good looks. Wow! truly worth the extra $. Love all the different settings and for the most part produces accurate cooking. Love it!
I have been using the oven only for a month now.
So far Very good product overall. Style, quality of materials, details, all digital control with preset setting for cooking all food; easy to set and moderate electricity consumption.
All food from meat, chicken, roast, fish, vegetables, baking cakes, bread, homemade pizza they are all well cooked through.
Money well spe
Right from the word go I knew I’d made the right purchase. Really easy to clean. Just follow the instructions and twiddle the knobs and let the smart oven do the rest. So far I have absolutely no complaints.
Really pleased with this oven. Good selection of cooking modes and accurate temperature control. Highly recommended.
It heats up to temperature really quickly and pings to let you know when its ready, It pings again when the food is done. There is an internal light which comes on at the beginning and end of cooking or you can push a button on the front if you want to check on how things are going. Altogether delighted with this purchase.
Brilliant so glad i payed a little bit more could not do without this ove
So easy to use and so easy to accurately time and temperature control dishes.
Easy to use perfect toast, tender meat and best roast potatoes.
Great, Simple to use oven. Well impressed with this oven and I cant highly recommend this product enough!
Excellent product. So far its made toast, pizza, mousakka and chicken. Everything cooks to perfection. The item preheats in less than five minutes so saves time. I’m looking forward to trying out the slow cooker next!
I recommend you to buy this oven. Very easy to use and clean. Not very big but professional.
The oven looks smart. The controls are simple to use and totally intuitive. We hardly use our regular oven now. VERY impressed! 🙂
Brilliant little oven, ideal for a small kitchen. Easy to use with good results on all types of functions.
So great I returned It and bought one elsewhere!!! Let me explain. A vital instruction was omitted regarding fitting the tray. Best explained is the droppings/crumb tray should be fitted with oven door closed. Yes, The tray is not fitted via the oven, but below it. The one I have is an excellent buy.
I am just plain delighted. Over a couple of months I have used just about all of its settings. I have grilled, baked, toasted, roasted – the lot. Results have been damn nigh perfect.
I’ve done away with the toaster and use this instead! Also cooks anything I need if I don’t need to heat up a big oven.
I just cooked a casserole using the slow cooker function and it came out perfectly! You can choose hi or low (4 or 8 hours) so I did mine on high.
We use it for pies, pizza, toast, bagels, crumpets, baked potatoes, anything you fancy which will fit (I did have to remove the handle from my casserole dish, but it was fine).
I reall must agree with other positive reviews, which encouraged me to bite the bullet and buy this. For once, I am in total agreement and the reviews are correct! It is expensive for me though and that’s the only issue with it!
I’m using this as a backup but if I was living alone, I would only use this and not need my main oven at all.
Ease of use, controls very easy to see and good choice of cooking modes.
This is to supplement my single built-in oven, and is also great for toasting. It heats up very quickly and seems well made. I think it is just what I need, hoping it lasts a decent time as I have had other much cheaper ones which didn’t last long.
Good oven. Works really, toasts my bread evenly and the programs are a good shortcut to cook different kind of food. As mentioned before, the heat is spread evenly and so the food gets cooked well.
This is a great oven, I was concidering a cheaper one , but I am glad that I purchased this one , it is well made and easy to use, highly recommend.
I cannotreally describe how happy I am all these years that I replaced my microwave with it. PERFECT in everyday -or more- use
Easy to use, rapid heat up time. Expensive but worth i
I had a cheaper oven which wasn’t very good. As I am on my own, I decided to buy the Sage mini oven. It is well built, easy to operate, functions well and looks good. I can’t rate it too highly and if people can stretch to the higher price, well worth every penny.
Recommend getting a tray due to over spills, we made lasagne and very good even colour on the top when normally in fan oven we have to turn around towards the end of cooking.
I was in search of an American style toaster oven…..that actually has a TOAST setting. Although the Sage toaster oven was larger than a standard toaster oven, and toasts up to 6 slices beautifully, we actually ended up using all the other features for grilling, baking, roasting etc…. more than our large cooker ovens. Friends have been impressed with ours, and looking to purchase one for themselves too.
Well this is alot better than my previous mini oven which was a lidl one and was a load of crap , this one it top notch and works very well i am well pleased with it …
Bought for my
Elderly mother who can’t bend down anymore to use her oven . She absolutely loves this and has needed no help at all in using i
I bought this oven to replace a much cheaper compact oven, not that the cheaper one had broken but more that I had no faith in its performance. The Sage oven instantly inspires confidence and produces excellent results.
The old adage is so true, ” Buy cheap, buy twice”
Love this oven. Use it all the time.
Bonus is it makes perfect toast too. 🙂
The oven was purchased to age and condition material samples for type-testing, not for food preparation.
But still, very easy to use; looks smart and clean. I recommend this product.
There’s a good quality feel to it through out. I also measured its accuracy with an oven thermometer and it was very close. And that it was off at all might be due to my positioning the thermometer at the very front so I could see it better rather than in the centre as the instructs suggest. More importantly, it is CONSISTENT. I’ve baked the same cake recipe three times in it now and been able to adjust the timing to perfection and know with confidence that it’s going to be precisely the same as last time. I am very satisfied with this oven. Capacity is also good enough for my needs as a second oven.
There are cheaper mini-ovens. But if you’re the sort of person who is able and willing to pay for a bit more quality then of the more expensive mini-ovens, this is the one to get.
It does exactly what it promises and more .well worth the extra money .
Downside is that build quality is a little flakey in places. The fan is noisy sometimes. Sounds like it’s hitting something. The crumb tray is made of thin aluminium and it is too thin. It will bend and kink in the middle if you wash it too vigorously and press too hard. Other than those two things and I would have given it full marks.
Only wish Sage sold a solo microwave oven to complement ; no need for an all singing, all dancing microwave , a simple one would be perfect to complement the BOV 820BSS .
So far I have done a beef roast and a chicken and both cooked perfectly. It also looks as good as it does in the pictures so very happy with it.
The price of the oven is 2 to 4 times higher than other similar table top ovens, However you get what you pay for
And I am more than happy to pay for good quality equipment.
Wow!! another very versatile product, cooks food exceptional. a very well made piece of kit especially for the single perso
It has not had a massive impact on our electricity bill either, (although this has to be subject to how much use you give it – ours is minimal).
Bought for my elderly mother and use it instead of her big oven as she only has small meals to cook so far very pleased with it.
EXPENSIVE BUT WORTH EVERY CENT!!!
Does what it says on the tin.
Does the perfect Bake
, I haven’t used my large oven since purchasing this Smart oven
Worth the extra cost.
i was debating this and another with hot plates above (becuase of the volume) but i am glad i bought this instead. it is well made and looks amazing!
