"it cooks a whole roaster chicken extremely nicely ... you can fit a whole roaster chicken extremely- it keeps it extremely juicy"
"FWIW this is one of the best things I’ve ever bought for my kitchen - only use the big oven for large scale baking these days."
"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."

"it has a ton of space which is super useful for cooking bigger things like chicken."
"We have the pro and it fits our 6.75 round wide with lid."
"It also holds the 3.5 qt braiser (classic version with smaller handles) perfectly! ( no lid)."

"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."
"had it 4+ years now with no problems"
"We love the Breville so so much and would buy it again immediately if it ever died. ... it still runs like a champ, 5+ years old."

"Preheats WAY faster than the big oven."
"We use it almost everyday instead of a traditional oven as a traditional oven takes a long time to heat up."

"Mine is garbage for toasting ... Eight minutes and turn it to the darkest setting! 🤣"
"However it is not very good at making toast, so don’t replace your toaster."
"It's also fairly uneven at toasting; the part near the door toasts less than the part in the back."

"I have constant smoking issues while using the air fry function. ... Even using foil, still smokes like a chimney."
"The 4 minute reheat does not work."
"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."

"this thing makes a f***ing mess. ... It's hard to clean, the crumb/ drip tray is a really bad design (the seams can leak food oil directly beneath the machine). ... I can appreciate the idea of having an outside accessible crumb pan, but in practice it is just not worth it."
"stuff dripped from it so clean up was always terrible ... Just a real pain to deal with"
"If you don’t put something underneath a drippy food it’s a really bad scene."

"They only seem to last me about 3-4 years before the control panel decides to crap out and then the buttons don’t work anymore. ... Then I suffer with wonky buttons for another year or so and buy another one."
"Ours gets used as an air fryer a LOT -- which puts oil/smoke in the air. I've had to lube the fan once as it got loud."
"the finish on the thing started peeling within one year (black coated model) and the function stickers were rubbing off within 6 months. ... At this price-point the function indicators 'ought to have been engraved."
3162081131 1.0I bought my parents a Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro. It has a proof function and it goes up to 480F. It fits a Staub (I think it's 4qt?) with the lid and knob though you have to be careful not to hit the quartz heating elements on the way out. It heats incredibly evenly, the macaron shells I've made in there came out perfectly.
abarthsimpson 1.0This is the one I have too.
Alternative_Hippo720 1.0[Breville Smart Oven](https://productbible.com/product/breville-smart-oven-air-fryer-pro) for me, mostly because it has so much space
Definitely the Breville Smart Oven, it has a ton of space which is super useful for cooking bigger things like chicken.
My wife swears by the [Breville Smart Oven](https://productbible.com/product/breville-smart-oven-air-fryer-pro). she uses it to make fish a couple times a week (which always comes out perfect) and roasting veggies takes half the time our old oven took.
bhjdodge 1.0I have the Breville xx900 model. It’s basically replaced my oven. I can fit inside my 6.75qt Dutch oven on an angle. The slow cook function works fantastic. The air fryer function is slow, but does ultimately work.
_Bon_Vivant_ 1.0I just bought a [Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N5UPTZS) a month ago. Amazing product! It does everything right. So happy with the purchase. It's expensive, but definitely a worthy investment.
BrenInVA 1.0I have been using the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro and Convection Oven (BOV900BSS) for years. It does a great job for many things, including air frying (super convection). It was just on sale for $339 at Amazon Prime Day. It may be less on Black Friday. I rarely use my full size oven any longer. I purchased one for my mother and mother-in-law also, and they love it. Friends have even bought it too. No need to have a single-purpose air fryer when this does a better job and cooks a larger amount (air fryer mesh basket rack included) and has many uses.
The Breville is far and away the best. I have been using one for years - even the prior version before the super convection (air fryer) became available. I rarely use my larger ovens any longer. The current model - Breville BOV900BSS Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro and Convection Oven - is fantastic, I purchased it in 2018. It also holds a 9x11 pan. I have only had to replace it once, but I had the Asurion 4-year protection plan (purchased at Amazon) and replacement was easy. I bought my mother and mother-in-law one as well since they liked mine so much. Keep a watch for price reductions (it was recently $299 and also $319). Go to the camelcamelcamel website and you can look at historical prices and get notifications if the price falls below an amount you input, for Amazon.
candyapplesugar 1.0I have that one in my cart but I read the non basket types don’t air fry well and are hard to clean
I’ve read the non basket ones don’t work great at air frying and are hard to clean?
coffeejn 1.0I'd also look at CaldoBake Convection Oven, but it might be outside your budget. The Breville BOV900BSS **is** what I'd recommend. You want that 1 cu of space inside in case you ever want to bake a loaf of bread. After that, what to look for is that it will handle a 1/4 sheet (9.5" x 13") pan. Once you got that taken care of, you can make muffins, pizza, bread, re-heat, or air fry. The other consideration is the wall socket has to have it's own breaker and you need clearance around the unit for heat to dissipate (fire safety). I'd recommend to check the user manual online before buying to see if you have the space to use it without running into issues later (ie burn down your house). Good luck.
I have the Breville. I'd recommend it. You can bake a full loaf of bread (you got the height clearance) it in or a pizza. It will handle a 1/4 cookie sheet (13" x 9"). You also might not want the controls at the top where the heat can cook the electronics.
ConBroMitch2247 1.0Breville smart oven pro Although they haven’t tested the Panasonic flashxpress which imo is better.
Yes… it was…. It’s their air fryer + toaster oven test. https://www.americastestkitchen.com/equipment_reviews/2075-air-fryer-toaster-ovens
cuoreesitante 1.0Meh anything you read on reddit is just anecdotal, I wouldn't put too much stock in that. I mean I'm the perfect counter point to the other user, I've had the exact same Breville Smart Oven Pro since 2017 that we use daily (not always air frying though), Breville Bambino Plus (same as the other poster's mention in the espresso sub) since 2021, Breville Tea Maker since 2014, and all of them are still working perfectly fine, and looooong outlasted their warranties.
