"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."

We have a Breville Air Fryer/Toaster Oven combo. Purchased at Wal-Mart. I Love it - It gets used everyday!

I have the Breville, it has air fryer baskets that can also be used for dehydrating. It's a very useful appliance. ATK rated it the best toaster oven/air fryer combo.

It is a smaller oven that takes up bench space ... but it's so much easier to throw something in, set program, timer, and temperature, and just wait for the BEEEEP that tells you that dinner's ready. It's small, so more energy efficient. My "avoid anything cooking-adjacent apart from the washing up" husband will happily use it for simple stuff. And also, it's easier to clean. The whole base of mine just slides out and goes in the dishwasher. I only really use my main oven if I'm cooking for more than just two now. I have one of these - [https://www.sageappliances.com/en-gb/product/bov860](https://www.sageappliances.com/en-gb/product/bov860) \- and I love it so, so much.

i have a 2 year old model of the non-pro and I’m not sure it will. a whole digiorno fits inside for scale in terms of diameter if that helps but I’m not sure about height. maybe if you move the rack to the lowest setting?

We have a breville air fryer that looks like a big toaster oven with computerized controls. I didn’t think it was a good purchase, but I was wrong. It does a lot and it included a variety of pans. The pizza pan is 12&3/4” diameter. Our model is BOV860 DBLUSC. Hope this helps. The microwave I could live without. We use it to boil water for coffee. Popcorn is way better on the stove top, and that’s a hill I will die on

r/CookingIs an air fryer worth it?

I wasn't convinced until I saw/used the Breville air fryer/toaster oven combo. Works fantastic for both purposes. It's great for Summer, doesn't heat the apartment up nearly as bad as an oven. is way more useful than the smaller pod-shaped air fryers, I've roasted full-sized chickens in it multiple times and the skin comes out crispy and perfect.

I gave up on air fryers after consistently getting stinky ones with burning plastic smell that never improved. Finally got the breville toaster with air fryer functionality. It s slower than an air fryer, but a lot more versatile. I use it instead of oven in summer. Also a lot faster to heat up even in winter.

Agree with this brand. Had a Cuisinart for years from Costco and the dials never worked correctly. Switched a year ago to Breville and it's been great. We toast bread almost daily, my husband proofs his bread with it, kids can use it easily for snack foods, and it great for side veggies with dinner. We are a family of 5, so needed larger size and multifunction.
