we owned the breville smart oven pro, but wanted an air fryer., so we bought the breville smart oven air fryer pro. it is larger, has 2 racks inside, and we use it for everything. made excellent air fried steak as well as vegetables. of course we also use it for baking, toasting and broiling. we have an electric stove, so using the smart oven air fryer pro, uses less electricity, takes a shorter time to get to the correct temperature and doesn't heat up the kitchen.
This is a truly practical counter top oven. You can bake a full loaf of bread, 12 muffins, or a 9” pie in it with great success. Even does a good job making toast. If you have the counter space for it, don’t settle for anything smaller. Worth the price.
LOVE IT. We have even taken it in our RV and enjoyed cooking at our campsite. Many RV's only come with boring convection/microwave. We had some great meals with it.
My second Brevelle Smart Oven. First oven is now five years old and still going strong without ever having a fault.. The new Smart Oven Air Fryer appeared to be my original oven plus much more. After purchase and use, I am more than satisfied. The oven has lived up to all my expectations and I am looking forward to many years of cooking with my second Brevelle long lived appliance
Our first Breville oven died after 11 hard years. A workhorse! Used 2-3 times daily, and more during holidays. Survived 3 moves. Was our primary oven. Led us to buy only Breville products. When we had to shop new one, Breville was only considered. Was suspicious of air fryer model, but we tend to go high end, and trust Breville. Of course, have not been disappointed. Use air fryer frequently. And, moved again and have not used the real oven. Toast, bagels, fish, pies, pork, beef, pizzas, frozens, veggies—all perfect in the Breville!
I love this oven it cooled gerat and preheats and bakes in the time for the big oven to preheat. We use it daily it’s great! There was suppose to be a subscription that never came but the oven is great.
This Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro replaced our eight year old Smart Oven (w/out light). Operationally our old oven didn't require a replacement, but the larger capacity & air fry feature of this model was too compelling to pass up. We use our full size stove a couple times a year, but the "toaster" sees multiple use daily. The users manual makes NO reference on how to use the Phased Cook button, and isn't very clear on how to customize the Default times & temperatures for the different cooking Modes. Also, the cook timer shouldn't start as soon as the Preheat cycle is finished- it should start only after the door has been opened and then closed.
