Is Breville worth buying?
Breville earned a buy verdict on 14 of the 21 Breville products we compared (67%), well above the 50% average across every brand on the site. 7 won their comparisons outright: Breville Bambino Plus, Breville the Smoking Gun, Breville IQ Kettle (BKE820) and Breville the Smart Fryer (BDF500XL) and 3 more. 5 are an "it depends": right for a specific buyer, not for everyone. We would skip 2: Breville Smart Scoop Ice Cream Maker (BCI600XL) and Breville Juice Fountain Cold (BJE430).
Verdicts synthesize independent testing and long-term owner reports; we do not run a lab and never take review units. Each product below links to the comparison it was judged in. How we review.
