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.

This is the one I have too.

I 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.

For size and versatility, i prefer the all-in-one mini oven. Breville seems to be top dog in that category https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/breville-smart-oven-air-fryer-convection-toaster-oven-1-cu-ft-28-3l-stainless-steel/10642044

I’ve had a Philips XXL basket air fryer for several years & now The Breville Smart oven Airfryer Pro for a year & we love the versatility of the Breville. It has so many nice features/options. It has large basket/trays to air fry & a roasting pan you can put a couple levels down to catch drippings. We use it every single day. And hardly use the big oven anymore. And I hardly ever have a need to get the Philips out anyone.

Breville. Super versatile, large capacity, stainless steel and glass construction. Love mine and if I had to, I'd replace it with another

I 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.

I have a Breville Air Pro. It's more of a toaster oven then air fryer but it does air fry. It's replaced my main oven and honestly I love it. Makes great toast too. I can bake a pizza in it, roast a chicken, and it even dehydrates. It heats up fast and is small so it doesn't heat the whole kitchen like the big one does. It's often used for roasting veggies or potatoes as a side dish.

Yeah, I'll admit I was put off by the price too. But after getting it and using it, I consider it money well spent. It really does replace the main oven, toaster, airfryer, etc.

Yeah, I too was put off by the cost, but now I really wouldn't want to be without it.

I have a Breville smart Air fryer Pro. I see it's on sale for $319 at some places. I've had it for probably a decade and it's replaced my "real" oven.

I have a breville air pro and love it. I rarely use my "real" oven. I roast chicken, bake, toast, dehydrate, I love it. It's old (ten years? ) and I've had to open it and fix the switch that tells when the door is closed, even now I have to close the door while giving the side a whack like the Fonz on a juke box (am I dating myself?). But if it were stolen, I'd buy it again in a heart beat. In fact I'm designing a "tiny home" and intend to put in a breville instead of a full oven.

As long as you can fit what you need to in it, it will work. honestly it's not a great air fryer (although I've never used a real airfryer), however as a toaster, oven and most everything else it says it does, it does it well.

When my traditional toaster died, I got a toaster oven with an air fryer capability (Breville air pro). It quickly became the main oven and the large oven was rarely used. It fits my 12" lodge skillet. And is used multiple times a day.

Seconded. I'm still in a big house (kids) but the breville has replaced my main oven and is in my plan for a tiny house along with an induction cooktop.

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.
