I've been slowly working my way up through lesser variations on the toaster-oven theme, and a move to a new house offered enough counter space to splurge on the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro. It's doing everything I ask of it without fuss or bother. It actually WORKS as an air fryer, and it WORKS as a dehydrator, even if not quite as well as a dedicated uni-tasker might. If I had a quibble, it would be that it takes a while to toast, but that's largely because there's a lot of volume to heat up, so what can ya do?
Great appliance. Terrific build quality. Solid, responsive, and handsome :-)
Just updated my old 15yr old Breville, it was used every day no doubt, now a friend thanks me for the gift. This new oven, aside from 2 shelves for multiple dishes, The oven light is great. The flashlight got moved, Air fryer What?? This thing is cool ! Trying to keep it clean while using it all the time
Better than I could have imagined. Everything I cook comes out evenly cooked and so fast. Especially love how my sourdough boule comes out, more perfect than ever. The large capacity is awesome too. I fit my whole 5 qt dutch oven! I baked 2, 9 x 13 casseroles at the same time! Does NOT heat up my house at all all. Best investment I could have made.
I have gone through several brands of this type of oven. Gave them all away and finally broke down and bought the Breville. I LOVE it! These others could never compete.
