Compare Countertop Ovens
Our Place Wonder Oven - 6-in-1 Air Fryer Toaster Oven scores higher on safety - here's why.
The most important dimensions, side by side.
The oven interior uses a proprietary nonstick coating that Breville describes only as 'PFOA-free.' Independent reviewers identify it as a silica-based coating -- safer than traditional Teflon, but Breville has not disclosed the full composition.
The oven's interior walls are bare stainless steel — the safest material for a cooking cavity. Nothing to chip, flake, or off-gas, even at the highest broil temperatures.
Breville claims this oven is PFOA-free, but PFOA is just one chemical in the larger PFAS family. No independent lab has tested this product for the full range of forever chemicals, and Breville has not pursued any PFAS-free certification.
Our Place says this oven is PFAS-free and PTFE-free, which aligns with the stainless steel construction. However, no independent lab has formally verified this claim for the oven or its ceramic-coated accessories.
The included enamel roasting pan is a standout -- enamel is inert, PFAS-free by nature, and won't leach chemicals at any temperature. One note: the included pizza pan uses a traditional nonstick coating, so you may want to swap it for a stainless steel alternative.
The included baking tray has a ceramic nonstick coating that the brand says is PFAS-free, but no independent lab has confirmed this. Some safety reviewers flag ceramic nonstick coatings as potentially containing nano-scale particles. You can swap in a plain stainless steel tray for peace of mind.
At 1.0 cubic feet, this is one of the roomiest countertop ovens you can buy. It fits a 14-pound turkey, a full 9x13 baking pan, or 9 slices of toast -- genuinely usable as a second oven for holiday cooking.
At 32 quarts with three cooking racks, this oven comfortably fits a whole chicken, a 12-inch pizza, or full family meals across multiple levels.
Thirteen distinct cooking modes including Air Fry, Dehydrate, Slow Cook, and Proof -- the most of any countertop oven we've evaluated. The Element IQ system steers heat to where it's needed for each mode, so these aren't just preset temperatures with different names.
Six cooking modes (toast, roast, bake, reheat, broil, and steam) cover everyday needs. If you want dedicated air fry, dehydrate, or slow cook modes, you will need to look at 10+ function models.
The crumb tray slides out easily for quick cleanup after each use. The nonstick interior also wipes down with a damp cloth, keeping day-to-day maintenance simple.
The pull-out crumb tray slides out for easy cleaning, preventing crumb buildup that can cause smoke or fire risk over time.
At $399.95, this is a premium countertop oven. The cooking performance justifies the investment for serious home cooks, but the safety score means you're paying top dollar without top-tier material transparency. Competitors with stainless steel interiors offer better safety-to-price ratios.
At $225, this is mid-range pricing for a countertop oven with stainless steel interior and large capacity. The overall value is held back by the safety score — if the ceramic accessories were independently verified, the value equation would improve.
Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.

You plan to use the included enamel roasting pan for most cooking and can replace the PTFE pizza pan with stainless steel.
You want a stainless steel oven interior and are willing to swap the included ceramic tray for a stainless steel baking sheet.
You cook for a family of 4-6 and need a large 32-quart oven with three cooking racks.

You prefer a countertop oven that avoids PTFE and traditional nonstick coatings entirely.
The main thing to know
The oven interior uses a proprietary nonstick coating that Breville will only describe as 'PFOA-free' -- they have not disclosed the full chemical composition or pursued any PFAS-free certification. At $399.95, you are paying a premium without full material transparency.
The included ceramic nonstick baking tray has no independent safety verification and carries the heaviest scoring weight. Consider swapping it for a plain stainless steel tray to get the most out of this oven's otherwise strong material profile.
Skip this if you...
You want full transparency about every material touching your food -- Breville's proprietary nonstick formula is not disclosed.
You are looking for a countertop oven with a stainless steel or ceramic interior that avoids nonstick coatings entirely.
You want PFAS-free certification, not just a narrow PFOA-free claim -- no independent lab has tested this product.
You need all included accessories to be independently verified PFAS-free without aftermarket swaps.
You want 10 or more cooking modes including dedicated air fry, dehydrate, and slow cook functions.
You need a countertop oven with NSF 537 or third-party lab certification on all food-contact surfaces.
