Breville - Smart Oven Air Fryer Series

[Breville Smart Oven](https://productbible.com/product/breville-smart-oven-air-fryer-pro) for me, mostly because it has so much space

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.

Definitely the Breville Smart Oven, it has a ton of space which is super useful for cooking bigger things like chicken.

Love my Breville the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro.

I absolutely love my Breville Smart Oven.

Bought a Breville Pro and use it at least a couple of times a day. We got rid of our toaster so that freed up some space for the larger air fryer.

We freed up some counter space by getting rid of our toaster and using our new air fryer as a toaster oven. We’ve used this thing daily since we got it. Air fried a whole chicken a couple of weeks ago. https://www.target.com/p/breville-smart-oven-air-fryer-pro/-/A-90673373

I bought this thing as an Amazon renewed in 2017 and I still use it to this day. Also I agree with your review.

Yes. I use the one from Breville.

The oven comes with a bunch of different trays, one of which is a [non-stick tray](https://www.breville.com/us/en/parts-accessories/accessories/bov450pp11.html?sku=BOV450PP11). The basket that you use for air frying is stainless steel.

> I have the breville smart oven air fryer pro and I love it. It air fry’s very well. I use it to toast sometimes but mostly use it as an air fryer. All I pretty much use any more. > Second biggest use for me would be as a second oven though when I’m hosting for holidays. Fits a 9 x 13 pan so that's very handy.

Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro. Pricey but worth it.

+1. It is amazing. You can fit a 9 x 13 pan in it.

Use mine all the time. It's great.

We have this oven and had used a previous version of it for air frying. Frankly, I wouldn't do it. The Breville is wonderful for baking, but air frying is a mess and the oven is extremely difficult to clean. When it came time to replace it, we decided no air frying in it. We ended up with a second Breville solely for baking, and then bought an easy to clean Ninja basket air fryer. PS We don't use our full size oven/range. In fact, I have a cover over the glass top and use the surface for other things. And we turned the oven off at the circuit breaker. For two people who don't entertain a lot, a toaster/convection oven like Breville is the way to go. Just get a basket air fryer to go with it. You don't have to get a big one. I got the Ninja AF101, a 4 quart and its perfect for two people.

I have a BOV900BSS. It's great for baking. It's big enough that it should be able to bake bread. Great for re-heating, and you can even cook a chicken or even a small turkey in it. I'm not sure about the 860 Breville, if it would be large enough to bake a loaf of bread in it.

Breville, costly but it works so well. Replaced a cuisinart x2. Big but worth it. Can cook two layers at the same time.

Look for models like the Breville Compact Smart Oven Air Fryer or Cuisinart TOA-60. These offer air frying, convection, and toasting in a mid-size footprint suitable for your needs.

Breville convection (air fry) toaster oven. I’m in my 2nd one, only because our last one got taken out by a power surge. Love, love Breville! Everything’s so simple, and when times up, it powers off. Cooks very quickly too.

I have a Breville too, and we use the air fry function all the time! I’m not a typical air fry person. I think they’re ugly and a space Taker. Also from trying 2 out before, they sucked compared to my toaster oven, which does it all. My big oven is convection, but it takes so long to preheat and then it just heats the house So much.

Love my Breville! It holds a ton of food too. Cooks quicker than the ugly space ship style air fryers I tried. Easier to clean and cook. No need to preheat or stop to turn midway through. I sometimes, but if Inuse the basket, it’s not necessary. I love how it does everything g in one appliance .

Breville is my vote as well. It frys items very crispy and doubles as a little oven. In fact, if it fits in that thing, I'm using it. Our GE stovetop oven is beyond useless.

My partner absolutely loves the Breville Smart Oven. She uses it a few times a week for fish, and it always turns out perfect. Plus, it roasts veggies in half the time of our old oven!

Adquiri o Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer, e ele não apenas funciona perfeitamente, mas também dá à minha bancada um visual sofisticado e contemporâneo, com seu acabamento em inox. Ainda não experimentei todas as opções, mas já ouvi ótimos comentários sobre os modelos da Ninja e da Cosori também.

Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer. It does everything- air fry, toast, bake, reheat, keep warm, etc. I use mine in some capacity every single day. Size is pretty good too, can’t remember the last time I had to turn on my large oven. Also, it’s easier to get things in and out of than the air fryers with the “buckets.”

I absolutely love mine! Mine is garbage for toasting, but amazing for anything else from air frying to plain baking. It's very handy to basically have a second small oven.

Eight minutes and turn it to the darkest setting! 🤣

I have the Breville smart oven and I have found really good use of the dehydrate feature.  

I’ve been gradually switching most of my appliances to Breville because I really like the brand's quality and having matching pieces at home. The Smart Oven Air Fryer, which is 30% larger than the Smart Oven Pro, would be my pick. I found a great resource on another subreddit where you can [compare the specs of different air fryers](https://www.reddit.com/user/No-Competition-5766/comments/1i5jdq2/air_fryer_models_comparison_spreadsheet/). Worth checking it out when comparing options. 

I have a slow cooker and end up using my stove for soups and stews. If I’m doing a whole roast I might get the slow cooker out. I make a lot of soup. I put one or two quarts in the fridge for the week and one or two quarts in the freezer when I make it. I have a toaster oven that air fries. I use that thing most nights one way or another. It’s larger so I even bake my bread in it. It’s the Breiville Smart Oven. So if the question still stands air fryer vs slow cooker I would say air fryer. However if you cook beans from dry a lot, like you are vegetarian or make burritos or burrito bowls a lot the slow cooker might be good. You can freeze the beans in pints or quarts too. Honestly I think a good freezer and learning how to use it is the best kitchen appliance.

I bought the Breville Smart Oven ($350 right now on Amazon) and use it more than once per day. I moved into my current apartment 9 months ago and have not used the regular oven one time. If cooking for 2 it is more than roomy enough. It does look a little less than gleaming because of so much use, but it is amazing! Check it out to see all of the features and you will not be sorry for spending extra cash.

Agree. We bought a used Breville off Craigslist and used it for years without any problems. We were randomly bought a Cuisinart for Christmas ~ 4 years ago, so we gave our Breville to our parents and used the Cuisinart instead. The Cuisinart function dials are now starting to break, while the Breville is still going strong.

I hear ya. I went from a basket air fryer whose convenience in terms of cooking quickly was lost when having to do batch after batch in the basket. We quickly moved on from that one for a Breville Smart Oven and love it. After buying a couple more fry baskets, it's really easy to cook a whole bunch of food in one go. We do cycle the baskets periodically during cooking so that they all spend roughly the same time at the top and closest to the heating element, which is a minor inconvenience . The additional toaster oven features are also pretty handy. We really like the Breville oven.

We needed a new toaster oven, so we decided to try a combo, the Breville Smart Oven. It’s been a really good product for many foods. However, its burner element is in the middle of it, so any air frying with dripping grease produces a mess. So we bought a traditional air fryer too. We actually use both, depending on the food. We are happy having both, because we needed a toaster oven anyway. The only downside is that we spent some extra money to have a very nice toaster oven with air fry capability.

If you’re dropping up to $300 on an air fryer, you’re in prime territory for getting something that’ll genuinely make your life easier (and make you wonder why you didn’t upgrade sooner). The Breville smart oven air fryer is definitely a high end choice. It’s basically an air fryer + toaster oven hybrid, so if you want something that looks sleek and does more than just air frying then go for this! But if you want a straight up air frying powerhouse, the Ninja foodi dualzone is AMAZING. Two independent baskets mean you can cook different foods at different temps at the same time (no more waiting for round two of fries!). The Cosori dual blaze is is also really nice. It has heating elements on both the top and bottom so you don’t even need to flip your food mid cook. I actually came across [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/airfryerhacks/comments/1izsvbo/confession_my_air_fryer_might_be_my_soulmate/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) that breaks down different models and why an air fryer is pretty much a kitchen essential. Might help you narrow things down!

Omg that’s amazing!! I’ve had my breville oven for probably 10+ years. Love it

Same here! I actually love this oven, we have the non-pro version as we wanted something smaller. It takes longer to airfry compared to a traditional airfryer, but I do find the end result comparable. We use it for many other uses, like reheating baby's food, baking, toasting, and more. Couldn't recommend more!

I bought the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer a few months ago, and have been happy with it! It’s our first air fryer, so nothing to compare it to, but I like that it’s bigger than our old toaster oven and can toast more slices, and the air fryer function has been easy to use. I bought it at Target - just looked and it’s on sale! https://www.target.com/p/breville-smart-oven-air-fryer/-/A-90673371

We use the Breville Smart Oven one almost every single day, reheating so many things is a plus, even frozen burritos come out of it way better!

Same XL without rotisserie but holds full size pizza plus wings for a whole family! Use daily for almost last 3 years.

I had that too but now use an XL Breville with clear glass front door it’s way better!

I purchased the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer recently and have been happy with its performance.

I went with the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer, and it not only performs well but also adds a sleek, modern look to my countertop with its stainless steel finish. While I haven't personally tried every brand, I've heard solid things about Ninja and Cosori models too.

The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer is a great choice. If you want other options, Ninja and Cosori are solid picks, with Philips being top-tier for crispiness. Instant Vortex Plus is user-friendly.

I went with the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer after a few models.

Breville has been pretty good because it is entirely metal. We were concerned with the plastic pieces from the other brands, and it has been working well.

Congrats on considering an upgrade! The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer is a fantastic choice - the stainless steel finish does give it a sleek, high-end look. How's the performance so far?

No, you won't. They're great. My family uses ours multiple times a day. We have a Breville that's both a toaster and air fryer and it's basically the only thing we use in our kitchen (aside from the stove).

Any of the toaster oven style ones should do it. And you can make toast and bake other stuff in them. The Breville Smart Oven (or pro which is just bigger) is great.

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

Save up and get a Breville Smart Oven, if you can.

I’ll second this, it’s replaced my oven for four years

I don’t think it air fries as well as a dedicated one, but this is the best counter top cooking device I have ever come across. We use at least once a day. Side note, I have found that the air fryer mode makes better toast than the toaster mode.

I have this, it’s great! We keep it in the kitchenette in our basement for when the kids have friends over and want to make pizzas or whatever. It’s also amazing at air frying Brussel sprouts! It looks like the 2020 model I have. I bought it when bed bath and beyond was liquidating stock to shut down. Great find!

This! I bought the Smart Oven Air Fryer (similar to the Pro, with a couple fewer modes) about a year ago and have used it almost daily. I have not used my “basket” style air fryer or my full sized oven since we bought this. Well, aside from Thanksgiving to cook the turkey. Sure, a basket style might be marginally better at getting things crispy, but the toaster oven form factor is so much simpler to clean and so SO versatile. Hands down my favorite kitchen appliance.

https://www.breville.com/en-us/product/bov900 Use ours literally every day. It’s fantastic.  ETA: no plastic. I would def not buy one that has one of those plastic cook trays.

“Air fry” is a marketing term for convection. The Breville is a great convection oven, IMO.

I have a Breville and I would marry that thing if I could

Thank you! This is the one I have: https://www.breville.com/en-us/product/bov900?sku=BOV900BSSUSC

They are a really solid company and its lifespan should add up to longer than a typical fryer, meaning you’d spend the same amount in the long run, actually less. But it also saves us counter space by acting as a toaster, pizza oven, and a dehydrator. I do hear Ninja isn’t bad on that front and are a bit more affordable.

I used to fawn over Breville coffee makers, one day I will reward myself, but magically the same moment our Cuisine Art air fryer melted the plug bc my gf didn’t realize the backside gets pretty hot and had it right against the plugin, I discovered that they make air fryers. It is one of the nicest appliances I have ever owned.

It’s one thing I can say with confidence that you will not regret. Their products are just so nice. I found mine at a TJ Maxx for about $50 off. I’d watch out for Christmas sales.

I have the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro BOV900BSS, Brushed Stainless Steel - a combo convection oven and air fryer. I have had mine for years. When it is on sale (a few times a year), it is about $329. I purchased one for my mother and mother-in-law. They both love it and use it instead of their regular ovens. Both Wirecutter and America’s Test Kitchen give it high ratings.

If I primarily needed the non-airfryer features and would sometimes use the air fry, the breville is great. If you primarily want an air fryer then it's performance just isn't the same, not to mention the cleanup. I have a ninja that I use for anything with oil or like reheating pizza that I would never use the breville. Results are much better and the cleanup is too. Love my breville, convinced everyone in my family to have one. And I get why technically the heating is the same. But the convenience is also important to consider

Great toaster oven but poor air fryer compared to a dedicated one. Having the heat source directly over the food is a gamer changer.. Breville is more like a standard convection oven. I'm a Breville fan and have it and the Cuisinart air fryer

Bought one last month and use it everyday - truly the best!

Breville Air Freyer Pro- you won't be disappointed.

Agreed. I got my Breville when I was in an apartment and their oven sucked. It works GREAT as a small oven replacement. I really wanted the air fryer part to work well, and figured it would when I heard the fan fire up... but it just doesn't get the air flow required to crisp things up like an actual air fryer. It's a function I stopped using and just ended up getting the real thing. Sucks to lose so much counter top space to both, but they both server their intended functions real well. I still do not regret getting the Breville though even now that I have a decent oven. It is great being able to bake something or cook a pizza in the summer without turning the kitchen into a gas grill. Something that is impossible with the gas oven in my kitchen.

Ditto. Heats fast, doesn’t heat up the kitchen, can do lots of stuff. Use it every day.

My Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro gas a good sized basket. 9"x13"

More expensive, for sure, but also so much more versatile. I have baked bread, pizza, potatoes, mac and cheese, biscuits. Toasted 6 slices of bread. 6 bagels (only toasts the top). Roasted a 4lb chicken. Baked bacon (turns out perfectly). The air fryer basket is very large. I air fried 7 chicken tenders all in a single layer. I fit nearly half a bag of frozen french fries in it and had them ready in 10 minutes or so. Styling wise, it is far better looking than the Cuisinart or Oster.

Regardless of price, our Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is an amazingly versatile appliance. It gets daily use and has effectively eliminated the oven in our range. I say bite the bullet. A few months from now you won't care what it cost.

Any smoke will depend on what you put into it. I have not had any smoke issues in our apartment except when I decided to sear a couple of rib eyes in a cast iron pan.

I love ours, had it for 9 years now. I am sure it will go soon. But that means I get a new one.

I bought mine at almost full price and it stopped working after 3 years. Had an error code that was not repairable :/

Wow, nice find! I have this same model and its the best ! I think I use it more than my oven!

We use ours every day. That's a great find! They're clearing out inventory for sure.

Breville makes my favorite thermomix companion. Would totally get an air fry model buying today: https://www.breville.com/en-us/shop/ovens

I bake veg in my breville oven all the time. Buying today I would definitely get an air fry model: https://www.breville.com/en-us/shop/ovens

Mine has this same issue

I couldn’t imagine my life without it. I started relying on toaster ovens many years ago when the element went in my apartment oven. Then I realized how silly it was for me to keep heating up my place with this old oven, never mind the energy cost and use. Got a cheap toaster oven to try out and quickly became converted. Invested in the Breville and so happy I did!

we use it 99 times out of 100 compared to our regular oven

dont do this - get the breville

You might start using it every day because it’s so awesome

Then you should get this as it is much more versatile than an air fryer

We’ve had one for three years and use it daily. Love it.

We have one, and have for years. My wife's parents have one, too. They both see pretty much daily use.

It might be the same thing that happened to mine (which was the older Smart Oven Pro, not the Air Fryer Pro). The control panel buttons started getting unreliable — e.g., you would push the fan button and it would activate the frozen button instead. Never actually stopped working, just sometimes required an extra button press or two. I've heard it's because the control panel circuit board in that model flexes too much. We just retired our Pro after ~8 years of *very* heavy use; it still works mostly fine, but in addition to the button issue the convection fan was getting really noisy. Did not hesitate to buy another Breville, the previous one has been amazing. Our weird size wall oven died a year ago and we have just not gotten around to replacing it, since we do everything in the Breville.

There's a certain amount of overlap between a countertop convection oven (which is what they really are) and basket style air fryers. The toaster oven style is fine for stuff like roasting vegetables but you're never going to get the true "air fry" with one of those. We have one of those Breville convection deals but eventually broke down and got a basket style air fryer too and do not for a moment regret it.

I have both a small standalone air fryer and a Breville convection oven/air fryer combo. I think the standalone one makes things a lil more crispy so my husband and I use it the most for heating/reheating small things like Costco chicken nuggets, French fries, quesadillas, etc. Larger foods like reheating pizza go into the Breville. We use the Breville as a normal toaster oven and then occasionally its air fryer function. Im not really a leftovers person unless I can get it to taste like it did in the restaurant. Using the air fryer helps a lot with that!

Best purchase in my kitchen by far.

I have the breville smart oven air fryer pro and I love it. It air fry’s very well. I use it to toast sometimes but mostly use it as an air fryer. Second biggest use for me would be as a second oven though when I’m hosting for holidays.

I think this is an older model so they’re probably clearing it out. I have this exact one that I paid full price for and I’ve gotten my money’s worth! We use it daily. The air fryer function is great and it is big enough to fit a pizza, 9x13 baking dish, etc. I hardly ever turn on my oven! This is an amazing price for this.

I also hated the nonstick coating of my previous air fryer :( I ended up just getting the breville smart oven air fryer pro and use it as my oven, toaster, and air fryer. I’ll admit though that it doesn’t air fry to a crisp as well as my previous basket style air fryer, but I’m ok with it to convert to stainless steel.

Wait for a sale, maybe Black Friday! I got my pro on sale for the same price as non pro during Amazon prime day

I've bought several air fryers in the last 10 years from sub-$100 basket type to the $600 Breville Air Fryer Pro. The best one I've used so far is the Typhur Dome. I'm not a big fan of the Breville Air Fryer Pro. I don't think it's worth the price. It's a good replacement for a full size oven and toaster but it's not a great air fryer. The fan is loud in air fry mode and because of the design and the large capacity, it doesn't move air around as well as basket style air fryers. If you plan to use it often, there are issues with build quality. The convection fan, control panel and door spring tend to fail prematurely.

I can’t get my breville to make me a toast. Toast that I get is uneven in toasting. Top part gets toasted as selected but bottom half is not. Is this to be expected???

Breville smart air fryer pro - expensive but worth it

mine did that too, bought it around the same time. Basically it thought the door wasn't closed so wouldn't start the timer and then shut itself off a little bit after it was done preheating because it thought the door was open. Took it apart and fixed the lever inside and still going strong till this day.

look up the issue on YouTube, there were several videos showing what to look for.

Yeah if the issue is the timer won't start after preheating then it's a loose lever in the hinge that tells the oven the door is closed. Stuff like toasting still works since it doesn't stop cooking when the door is open, but bake and some other functions won't work properly.

Oh I have actually cooked a turkey in this thing, the box even showed it with a turkey inside originally, not sure if the new one does too, was one of their key advertising points that it could cook a turkey so I had to give it a try to test it. came out great, but just needs to be a smaller turkey, around 14lbs or less I have found will fit in it.

Yes I have! In fact, I blew out an entire outlet. I also live in a 50s house. That happened after several breaker incidents when I was when I was running the Breville and my Vitamix on the same outlet at the same time. Ever since the blowout, I only use a particular outlet for the Breville and nothing else, and I haven’t had any issues at all.

That would explain why running the air fryer and the vitamix at once blew it out all the time.

I don’t know, but I love that baking dish. My 9x13 is just one of those glass Pyrex ones. It has handles and it fits, but the handles are not very big. I’d be willing to bet that one would fit too.

Spoiler alert: I love this thing. In honor of the Black Friday sale: $299.95 instead of $399.95, I thought I’d convince some people not to sleep on this deal if you’re in the market! I haven’t had mine for quite a year yet, but in that span of time, I’ve only used my regular oven maybe 5 times, and I cook almost every day. It is to the point where people come over to my house to cook and they go to preheat the oven and I think, “what are you doing?” because they don’t even know what they’re missing! The Breville does everything your oven does, but it heats three times as fast, doesn’t heat up the room, and can probably maintain a lower temperature (which is important for the “slow cook” and “keep warm” functions. It can fit surprisingly large dishes. A 9 x 13 casserole dish will fit. Multiple quarter sheet pans will fit. A 5.5 qt round Le Creuset Dutch oven fits, as well as their 6.75 qt wide round Dutch oven. I originally purchased it looking for a top-of-the-line air fryer, but I’ve used it mostly for all the other functions. Not that it doesn’t air fry exceptionally well, it does, it’s just that it does SO much more. I have used it to “keep warm” my tea pot to come back for multiple cups. It bakes everything except a Thanksgiving Turkey. I love the air-fry function for chicken breast. They actually turn out juicy and not dry, which is usually how they come out when I pan fry them. I use the slow cook function combined with one of my Dutch ovens to make my pot roasts and slow-cooker recipes. They come out great. Honestly, I haven’t even used all the functions yet, but I’m telling you this is a worthy investment. I read a post the other day about someone who used it as a dehydrator for their excess garden produce, and they love it for that even. Negatives: #1 I’d say is it does get dirty quickly and it is a pain in the ass to clean, but it damn sure ain’t as much of a pain in the ass to clean as the big oven! It is more noticeably dirty though because it lives on the counter top. #2 I know it’s a toaster oven… but don’t use this for toast. I do, but that’s only because I don’t eat toast very often so I don’t have a regular toaster. The bitch takes like 7 minutes to toast my Ezekiel whole wheat bread. It’s ridiculous. I’d recommend spending the extra $50 getting the 3 extra air fry baskets, even if you’re only cooking for two. Sometimes you want to air fry multiple ingredients and it’s nice to be able to separate them, especially since you really don’t want anything to touch when you’re air frying. Overall, I’d say, if you’re looking for an airfryer, or a counter top oven— get this one!! If you want a toaster, get a toaster. But I’m telling you… you want this. Everyone would benefit from this even if only for the fact that it doesn’t take forever to preheat. I love it and you will too!

That’s fantastic! It’s amazing what fits in there.

I don’t think my Breville Air Fryer Oven crisps quite as well as the dedicated air fryer types but I will never go back to those. The oven is so much more versatile and has almost completely replaced my standard oven.

Ooh I love my breville!

Because it's an older model! I have same model for over 5 years now! I love mine. But the new ones have air fryers too...

I got mine used for $8, but it’s a little quirky, hence the reason it was at a thrift store outlet. If you can get past the occasional double button presses it works fine.

I have had this one for about 3 years. It's an absolute workhorse, I dont use my oven at all any longer.

I’ve tried a few air fryer-toaster oven combos, and my top picks are the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro and the Cuisinart TOA-65. Breville is perfect if you want premium quality and versatility, with functions for air frying, baking, roasting, and more, though it’s pricey. Cuisinart is more affordable, reliable, and straightforward, covering all the essentials without overcomplicating things.

I love my brevell

If you figured it out, let me know, because I am also disappointed in its air frying capacities... I had a cheap air fryer before and it worked great....

me too. im debating returning it as the air fryer is not very good on it. searching the web for ways to improve how the food comes out.

We got our original one in I think 2018. It started acting a little weird in April 2020 and we panic bought another because we rely on it so much and couldn’t stomach Covid lockdown with 4 kids and no breville. Would replace immediately if anything happened to it!

Something with the timer switch - I don’t remember the details since it was almost 5 years ago

Interesting, my mom still has it so I’ll have my handy husband take a look!

It was at the very beginning of lockdown so I didn’t even try with being overwhelmed by life and cooped up with 4 kids. I believe they would have if I had tried. My mom is still using it even though it’s a little wonky. The replacement has worked flawlessly for 4.5 year and we use it multiple times a day.

I love this oven, except for the air frying, because it creates so much smoke that it takes hours to dissipate, I got a separate Phillips for that, because I can either take it outside or set it really close to the hood.

Wirecutter recommends the Breville and when my Cuisinart died last month, that's what I replaced it with. It's a huge upgrade from my previous air fryer/toaster oven. \*\*I'm talking about toaster oven air fryer combos. If you're interested in just an air fryer, I don't have one to recommend.

Surprised not to see Breville in the top, we got the air fryer pro toaster oven and love it. I like the flexibility for counter space (old bread made into croutons dehydrating now). We use it more than our $$ oven. when we want fried chicken or similar we fry more traditionally, but tots, cubed potatoes etc do well!

I purchased this model in 2020 from Williams Sonoma and I’ve used it multiple times a day since. Mine is beyond gross at this point and after being over zealous with easy off I inadvertently removed some of the paint (mine is like a painted metallic gray). I will have to check out Marshall’s for a replacement.

We found a Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro for $139, full retail $399.95. How does this make sense for them? I want to be greedy and go back for the others to resell. Works fine and all seems brand new. The proofing function is nice.

It’s great for baking so far. It’s very precise and big enough to fit my large bread baker/dutch oven.

Thanks! It’s a work horse so far. We were in Fairview Heights, Illinois

It doesn’t have rotisserie, but just about everything else haha

I’m the same way, but I do keep this out. We did the same with the prior model. It’s such a good oven and always in use, so it never feels in the way.

I have had a Philips XXL for over 5 years. It’s been good but not big enough. We recently got the Breville smart oven airfare pro. So far we are liking it. We are keeping the Philips too. But the Breville has worked really nice. In fact we need to adjust times from how we did things in the Philips

I’m a big fan of the Breville convection oven. I use it multiple times a day for everything. Don’t need a separate toaster or air fryer with that thing.

My parents had the cuisinart & hated it & had so many issues. Got the breville all good.

It has 13 cooking functions, including air frying, baking, roasting, and even dehydrating. I love that it can replace several appliances in my kitchen, making it a space saver. Many users rave about how it heats up quickly and cooks food evenly, which is something I definitely want in an appliance.

While some reviewers mention that it’s easy to clean, I wonder how well it holds up over time. Does the non-stick interior really stay non-stick, or do I need to be cautious about using certain utensils?

I largely disliked it, outside of the capacity. Before you read below, I'd say my wife and I used this unit moderately (i.e. regular cleaning, used 2 to 3 times a week). First of all, the screen makes a buzzing sound that is super annoying. That's a minor annoyance, but one that infuriated me more and more the longer I owned the thing and saw the other short-comings. Secondly, it doesn't air-fry all that well. It isn't bad, but if all you need is a dedicated air-fryer, well, this thing is assuredly worse than a basket air-fryer. Thirdly, 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. Fourth, 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. Fifth, it takes far longer to heat up than conventional air-fryers. Sixth, the g**d*mned light on it turns off after like 5 seconds. No adjusting it, no keeping it on, just an annoying button you have to keep pressing if you're keeping an eye on what you're cooking. After you cook with this and you get annoyed at all of the above, the softly buzzing screen incessantly reminds you that you definitely overpaid for this unit. If I had to summarize this thing: it is far far far overpriced for a machine that really doesn't do anything special that other oven-style air-fryers don't, and MOST CERTAINLY NOT justifiable at 3x the cost given the shortcomings. I replaced it with one of the flip up Ninja thingies a while ago and never looked back. No, I can't roast a whole chicken in it, but I can do everything else (pizza, toast, air fry, etc).

Just bought a Breville air fryer pro and the door doesn’t seem to seal all the way around. The left side has a small gap that seems too spacious. Any one else notice this?? When inquiring with breville support they say it’s a built in feature for steam release…. I haven’t noticed a difference in baking/air frying just yet, but curious about others experience??

We do not toast in the middle where it suggests. We toast on the top rack and flip it and toast the other side my husband didn’t like it at first, but now he’s used to it.

I use mine constantly. My built-in oven takes 1-2 hours of fan to cool off when I use it. My Breville cools off and shuts the fans down in 5 minutes.

Have had mine for 7 years and use it multiple times a day. This is the best toaster oven out there.

I think it is because I can fit things like a 9x13 in the pro. I just upgraded from another Breville model that's the size of the smaller smart oven and I loved it but the extra space is really nice.

I’m a big fan of my breville smart oven air fryer pro. It is quite big if that is a concern, but I barely even touch the oven anymore, this thing cooks everything way better and faster. It is a pain to clean, but most ovens are. I also like that I can use it like a crockpot with my Dutch oven in there on slow cooker.

I use the Breville Smart oven air fryer pro, I do a lot of cooking for a family of 5 (also meal prep on the side) and it really helped me condense my kitchen appliances. 13 cooking functions and it does each one well

the Breville smart oven pro is awesome but it is expensive.

i am on my second one, after wearing the first one out over 5 years. (pre air fryer version). These things are the best, have reliable temps, and pretty easy to clean. i use mine as an oven replacement. i only cook for 2 or 3 daily, and its quite capable of replacing the full size oven for me.i would highly recommend one, and stay away from the cheap toaster ovens.

2nd this suggestion. Loved mine so much I bought one for my parents because it's so convenient 

if you can spring for it, get the breville toaster oven with the air fryer feature. I do 90% of my cooking in that because it heats up so quickly and is perfect for those small meals

I second the Breville counter top air fryer also. Large knob’s and easy to use

I have one of these and love it

I have the Sage Smart Oven Air Fryer (Breville in the US, it's the same brand). Not cheap but absolutely excellent.

Breville for sure. We’ve had ours for about 6 weeks and love it!

I’m pretty sure my Breville toaster oven with air fryer is all stainless

I have this too but isn’t the interior non-stick though. I contacted Breville and said the interior is non-stick.

Is there a reason you’re looking for a basket style? We consolidated a lot of our kitchen appliances and in that process, we got rid of our super old/tiny toaster oven and got a Breville toaster oven that also functions as an air fryer. It is bigger than a basket style, but we saved counter space by not needing to buy a basket style and getting rid of the toaster oven. It’s all metal and it is quite roomy. We use it more often than our regular oven.

I went from a corsori air fryer to the breville oven style and the corsori was definitely faster if that matters to you. Otherwise it doesnt really matter and I like the extra features (toaster) of the breville. Both are fairly easy to clean.

Couldn’t agree more! I have a breville toaster oven with an air fryer and it is my most used kitchen appliance. We mostly use the air fryer, toaster, and bake settings, but there is an occasional time I need to broil and I have used the pizza settings and they are also great! Its been about 2.5 years that I’ve had it and don’t know how I lived without this before!

Since you mentioned how hot it gets on the outside, I thought I would share my experience. We've used a breville toaster oven forever, and since it even fits a pie, we almost never use the actual oven anymore. A friend let us borrow a spare instant vortex air fryer and we loved it, so we thought we would try an air fryer toaster oven so we could still just have one appliance. It did not do nearly as good a job at "air frying", but the big issue was that 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. We returned it, kept our toaster oven, and just added an air fryer to our repertoire. 🤷‍♂️

Don't worry, it is. Plenty of people use these, like the breville, Cuisinart, Ninja etc. Imo this style works better for many people and is much closer to a real oven and also does air frying.

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

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.

Is this the Breville Smart Oven? I have that and I have constant smoking issues while using the air fry function. Even using foil, still smokes like a chimney. Love it otherwise, especially for the reheat setting. Almost makes the microwave obsolete.

Yup! They are! Stainless steel is also easier to keep clean than aluminum.
