Love the new Breville Smart Air Fryer Pro. It's all I'd hoped it would be and more! It's ideal as a primary or a second oven, with so many functions, it replaces other appliances saving kitchen space. Cooking settings are accurate and easy to learn. Baked breads came out perfectly the first time. Air fryer is fast and allows for a larger amount at one time. The drip pan at the base is removable for ease of cleaning. I highly recommend this unit and feel it will be my primary oven for years to come.
I don't know where to start. First, I was solely impressed with the accessories that are included with the smart oven. Second, I use it for everything from air fry to simply baking. Third, when it's done with your food, it simply turns itself off converting to a warming oven. In a nut shell, if your oven ever goes on the blitz, this is a clear winner to me. Love, love, and love. Thank you Breville.
This is my second oven the first one stopped working. Now I am having major issues with the second one. The timer doesn't work and the oven turns off prior to my food being cooked. My mother in law has the same one and has no issues. its so frustrating. I called Breville and the informed me that the oven was not getting enough power. I head my power outlets checked and they are perfect. Could it be that I received two ovens that are duds? HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was so excited to have this little oven . But now I am so upset to write this review about how to handle the problem with their product . First time use it. Toast a couple of bread or bagel I saw the steam leaking from bottom of right side little bit . And the steam leaks more and more from top right side. It create condensation on the panel of LED. It create moisture and dripping water on my counter top. I naver saw any oven leaking steam even cheap toast oven . I contact and address the problem and I gat answer that is normal. I know one od my community website person used one year and she has same problem and she got answer that they know some door has issue and she got exchanged. I don’t know what to do now.

Thank you for reaching out to Breville through your review. I can confirm for you that depending on the moisture content of the food you're air frying, there will be steam emitted from the door. The vents in the door are for just that purpose. The steam will get on the display panel. You'll see this noted in the user's manual, including under the Trouble Shooting section.
Steam is coming out from the oven door • This is normal. The door is vented to release steam created from high moisture content foods such as frozen breads.
Water is dripping onto counter from under door • This is normal. The condensation created from high moisture content foods such as frozen breads will run down the inside of the door and can drip onto the counter.
Since condensation builds up, if you are air frying fatty foods, grease can definitely be emitted along with the condensation. That's why we do suggest in the manual that when cooking fatty foods (e.g. chicken wings) use roasting pan instead of air fry/dehydrate basket to prevent the oil dripping. Discard excess oil in between the batches.
