"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 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."
"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."

"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."

"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"

I 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.
r/Sourdough • Does anyone have any recommendations on toaster ovens, air fryers, or countertop ovens for sourdough baking? ->We have a Breville Air Fryer/Toaster Oven combo. Purchased at Wal-Mart. I Love it - It gets used everyday!
r/BuyItForLife • Looking for an air fryer/mini oven combo? ->This is the one I have too.
r/BuyItForLife • Air Fryer Recommendation Needed ->Another vote for Breville. Have one of the smart ovens, and it's been used daily (sometimes multiple times a day) for a little over a year now without issue. It's been flawless. It's so good that my full size oven is rarely used.
r/BuyItForLife • The Best Air Fryers on the Market to Buy Now? ->Second this. Mine exactly fits a 9x13 pan with handles, which is perfect. However it is not very good at making toast, so don’t replace your toaster. However I have heard mixed reliability; I don’t expect it to last “for life” but barring a lemon, it would definitely last more than a year. Mine is three or four years old, used at least five times a week, and still doing fine.
r/BuyItForLife • The Best Airfryer to Buy Right Now? ->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? ->Second Breville - I have the Smart Oven Air and it excels and everything.
r/Sourdough • Does anyone have any recommendations on toaster ovens, air fryers, or countertop ovens for sourdough baking? ->[Breville Smart Oven](https://productbible.com/product/breville-smart-oven-air-fryer-pro) for me, mostly because it has so much space
r/airfryer • Best Air Fryer Right Now? Recommendation? ->Definitely the Breville Smart Oven, it has a ton of space which is super useful for cooking bigger things like chicken.
r/BuyItForLife • Best Air Fryers to Buy? ->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.
r/BuyItForLife • Best Air Fryers to Buy? ->Save up and get a Breville Smart Oven, if you can.
r/AussieFrugal • Airfryer oven/ toaster oven single person ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
