I replaced a perfectly functioning Breville compact smart oven specifically for the air fryer function in this one. I'm using it much more than I expected I would because it is so easy to use and works so wonderfully. All the other functions work superbly as well. I'm very happy with the purchase.
Had an issue with my oven's fan that was still under warranty and Breville provided me with great support. I was able to replace the oven with very little hassle and was up and cooking in short time.
I have only had the smart oven air fryer pro for a short time. So far it is working well. I cooked some frozen homemade fries and they were nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My frozen crab cakes turned out beautifully. I am experimenting on frozen veggies. I cooked a grilled cheese and it was great. If anything changes I will update my review.
It is somewhat complex with a higher learning curve but I expected that. We use it daily, it’s easy to keep clean, we love being able to use more than one tray/rack/pan while cooking and also appreciate the “etching” on glass door showing us the rack placement.
I had an older model for years and replaced it with this one with all the new features. Just love it. Bakes all my creations, never use the big oven in my stove. Breville you have another winner!
We've owned several Breville products, including our last counter top toaster oven, which provided 11 years of excellent service. The Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is a nice product. Easy to use and clean. The air fryer works really well. For a newcomer to cooking this way, we're very happy with the results
