How to choose
Match capacity to your counter
A small apartment rewards a small footprint, so compare interior size before functions. The Breville fits 4 slices and an 11 inch pizza in an 11 x 10 x 4 inch interior, the Our Place holds 13 quarts across two levels, and the VAL CUCINA holds 12.7 quarts with room for 4 slices or a 9 inch pizza. Measure your counter against the exterior dimensions, and leave room for the dropdown door to open.
Count the functions you will use
Eight functions sound generous, but only the ones you cook with matter. The Breville covers toast, bagel, bake, broil, pizza, roast, cookies and reheat, while the Our Place and VAL CUCINA each cover 6, with air frying in both. If air frying is your main use, pick one of the 6-function pair; if bagels and cookies matter more, the Breville covers both.
Upkeep and accessories in the box
A pull-out crumb tray and a non stick cavity coating make cleaning simpler on the Breville, and all three ovens include a crumb tray. The Breville adds a 10 x 10 inch enamel baking pan, the Our Place adds a wire rack, air fry basket, bake pan and crumb tray, and the VAL CUCINA adds a wire rack, air fry basket, crumb tray and enamel baking pan. Check that the pan size suits the food you cook most.
