"I use it multiple times a day for everything. ... Don’t need a separate toaster or air fryer with that thing."
"It gets 90% of the air frying results, but can do far more other things, like bake, roast, dehydrate, broil..."
"I can cook pretty much everything in it."

"Preheats WAY faster than the big oven."
"I have one of these and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. ... 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."

"I have constant smoking issues while using the air fry function. ... Even using foil, still smokes like a chimney."
"for anyone who wants something to be crisp, I'd especially recommend the Ninja Crispi. Soggy limp leftover fries come out every bit as good as when they were fresh."
"Far superior results for actual air frying. ... The Breville can do a good job of air frying, but because you have to protect the elements the heat can’t get to the food properly."

"it absolutely radiated heat because there seems to be no insulation in there at all, to where it actually heated up the kitchen more than the full size oven does."

"It’s not as good as my cheap dedicated air fryer. ... I think it’s too big and the air doesn’t circulate as fast."
"It actually doesn't work *that* well as an air fryer since you can't put anything in the basket that will drip"
"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."
Breville, costly but it works so well. Replaced a cuisinart x2. Big but worth it. Can cook two layers at the same time.
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for an air fryer/mini oven combo? ->Breville. Seven years on first, four years in on this one. We brutalize ours.
r/airfryer • Air fryer that won't die? ->Breville counter top. Love mine, I haven’t used my oven since I got it. We keep the house very cool and the proof setting for bread is a game changer. Roasted veggies awesome
r/BuyItForLife • Best Air Fryers to Buy? ->This is the answer. My breville has over taken my oven. Unless I'm roasting a Turkey there isn't much that I do in the oven any more.
r/Cooking • Do you have an air fryer? Should I get one? ->Our air fryer is also a toaster oven (Breville). I’ve never looked into the paper liners and have been using parchment paper. Now I’m wondering if there’s a better option. We mostly use the air fry function for green beans, samosas and chicken nuggets. Otherwise it functions as a toaster and extra oven.
r/moderatelygranolamoms • Air fryer… yay or nay? ->I absolutely adore my Breville Smart. It has replaced my oven. However, I do use the basket style air fryers for air frying. Far superior results for actual air frying. The Breville can do a good job of air frying, but because you have to protect the elements the heat can’t get to the food properly. If you don’t put something underneath a drippy food it’s a really bad scene.
r/airfryer • Air fryers that look like toaster ovens. Any good? ->Breville for sure. We’ve had ours for about 6 weeks and love it!
r/airfryer • Recommendation for the Best Air Fryers with a Toaster Oven? ->I have a Breville smartoven with air-fry function. It gets 90% of the air frying results, but can do far more other things, like bake, roast, dehydrate, broil...
r/Cooking • Do you have an air fryer? Should I get one? ->BREVILLE. Outside of our knives, it is the most used tool in my kitchen. Big enough for a full pan of lasagna. Preheats WAY faster than the big oven.
r/Frugal • Looking for recommendations - toaster oven air fryer combo ->I have the brass one in white, it is so beautiful and functional. Unfortunately, it does not fit the 5.5qt Dutch oven and the 3.5qt braiser.
r/LeCreuset • Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
