How well insulated is the oven?

The top of the oven is meant to be a plate-warmer, so not super well insulated. It gets hot. You're supposed to allow clearance around the oven (for the sake of it's electronics and ability to dump heat, the heat has to go somewhere, and this is true of all electronics. The sides or underneath do not get too hot.If you asking if it holds temperature well, it does that better than just about any countertop oven I've ever seen. You can cook pies or roast a chicken in it, perfectly. And it's fine on any counter or under a cabinet.

The door seals shut very nicely. No heat escapes! The top of the oven gets hot so I bought the breville cutting board that goes on top......problem solved. Best oven ever!

Been using it for a few years wo any problems...not sure how to answer specifically about the insulation.

I think it is well insulated. Product directions require 4 inches from all sides. The hottest surface seems to be the top so don't plan to put anything there but the special cutting board Breville offers.

I have used this product in my oven at temperatures from 250 to 400 with no problems. It is easy to clean.

According to Wearever.com, the insulation is a layer of air. The pan is excellent, and produces fine baked goods every time.

The sides stay reasonably cool. The top can get pretty warm when toasting bread and hotter if the oven is on for a longer time. I would not put anything flammable or that could melt on the top of the over. I noticed this with two other toaster ovens that I had. They would even melt plastic if left on top. I would imagine this is the same for most toaster ovens.

I have gotten the temp. up into the 400's with no damage to the cabinet above. It must be well insulated because the top doesn't get very hot. It is warm enough to warm a plate but not hot.

I believe it's 400°. To be honest, however, I have a very tiny oven and have never put a lid inside while baking. I used tinfoil. On the stovetop it seems just fine, though I do use their hot pads and handle mits.

On top of the oven, it doesn't get hot to the touch. If you use it inside the oven, of course it gets hot.

Not that much. It's a type of heavy duty plastic that can stand oven temps, after which it is going to be hot to the touch.

Most definitely! This is my favorite oven I have ever had, this is my 5th one i believe. I was afraid it was too big when it arrived, but it's perfect.

Yes, it is insulated with a thin, white plastic liner. Btw, the tin rusts really easily so make sure you keep the metal parts wiped down and dry.

yes, it is well insulated and does not turn on and off constantly. I used to look under the sink frequently to see if it was on or not and rarely do I see it on unless I have just used a lot of hot water.

It's a little bit insulated, a lot more than the other models. It's a little like a jacket, but not down.

For proper operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 3-inches (7.6 cm) of space on both sides of the oven and 1-inch (2.5 cm) of space on top of the oven.

This has been a great oven. It does reach the maximum temp as advertised. I like the oven.
