Breville - Combi Wave 3 in 1

I just got a Breville Combi Wave, a microwave with convection oven and air fryer. Our microwave had crapped out, so I thought if I could replace it with something that did more than one job, it was a win/win. I haven't had it long enough to test everything, but so far, it actually does work in all three ways. One con is that Breville is $$$$, but I got it on points. Another possible con is that it doesn't seem to work as fast as a typical stand-alone air fryer. I toasts bread well on air fryer setting but is slow.

I have the breville one I got for a really good deal on a black friday. I do really like it but i’ve also considered getting just an air fryer as I think it may be easier to clean than the metal grated rack ?

Breville makes a combo microwave/air fryer. It is pricey but worth it.

i have the breville combo and a dedicated air fryer and the latter is so much better at airfrying stuff like chicken thighs. i find that putting foil on the basket or pan of the breville impedes the airflow that makes the air fried food more crispy and browned. but i have not tried parchment paper

I had a Cuisinart and I just replaced it with a Breville. I had trouble with the Cuisinart's control dials.

These units are versatile but typically max out at a 12-inch pizza due to their turntable size. Breville Combi Wave 3-in-1: This is a premium choice known for its Element IQ system, which adjusts power for precise cooking. It features a soft-close door that is significantly quieter than standard microwaves. GE 3-in-1 Microwave Oven GCST10A1WSS: A reliable, mid-range option that offers dedicated broiling and air fry modes. It is praised for its even cooking and sleek stainless steel design. Cuisinart Microwave Oven with Air Fryer: A great value option with a 1.2 cubic foot capacity. It includes a dedicated air fry pan and rack, though some users note it is slightly louder than competitors.

Breville combiwave 3in1. Microwave, Airfryer, Grill. I've had one for years. It doesn't excel at any one of these but is decent at all of them. . [combiwave](http://Breville https://www.breville.com the Combi Wave™ 3 in 1)

If you have the space I love my Breville air fryer/oven combo I joke that if we ever had an emergency evacuation I would grab that over the kids🤣 It’s nice bc you can do big basket/trays of food. Also it cooks a whole roaster chicken extremely nicely If you regularly cook this can easily replace 3 appliances…

My old Breville lasted 10-11 years, I got the new one 3 years ago with the air fryer option … if it breaks tomorrow I would figure out how to get it again - I seriously love it.

I’ve loved the breville air fryer/oven combo. Toast perfectly bagels vs waffles/toast. And you can fit a whole roaster chicken extremely- it keeps it extremely juicy

Second this. Ours is a staple in the kitchen. We haven’t used our actual oven since we’ve gotten the Breville.

I have one of these and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. However, as an air fryer, it performs mediocre. Dedicated air fryers yield better results as far as making things like chicken wings crispy and tasting like they were deep fried. As a counter top convection oven it kicks ass. Heats up fast and bakes and broils just as good as my fancy built in ovens.
