Have had our Breville now for a few years now and it has become our main oven. We use it usually twice a day as a main oven and toaster. It does take some care to keep clean but if done once a week it stays in good shape. The glass can get oils on it but cleans easy with some soap and a razor blade. Only issue I have had to date was the door spring breaking which was easy to replace. Other than that it has been problem free.

Brevilie, I had the model this one is based off of for just shy of two decades and it's still going strong

I’ve got the one OP posted, and have had it almost 10 years and it gets used once or twice a day. I use parchment paper in the airfry basket for most things, and it’s been totally fine. The times I dont use parchment paper, I just put a pan with aluminum foil on the grate at its lowest setting.

Same. The thing even fits a frozen pizza. I roasted a duck in it. We do all of our baking and roasting in our now.

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.

I’ve owned my Breville for years and adore it. I use it more than my regular oven. Since I got it, 3 family members have gotten the same model and loved it just as much as I do. Can’t speak to repairability because I haven’t needed any repairs.

I just got an uncoated stainless steel Cuisinart toaster oven style one with all manual dials, since it's the electronics that gave out on my old Breville toaster oven. Can't speak to longevity but we went for safety. Using the enamel Breville tray instead of the aluminum tray that came with the Cuisinart. The air fryer basket is stainless steel as is the toaster rack. So far we're really happy with it, cooking is just as fast as the Dash we had. Actually safer, not hype: enamel coated, ceramic coated, steel, iron Not safer: pfas free nonstick coatings made of anything other than the above (Teflon alternatives), uncoated aluminum
