We had the other model that lasted about five years. It was a great oven and we were happy with it until it stopped working. Decided to purchase the upgraded and bigger unit that has the airfryer and a couple of added features. So far the new unit has been working well and we expect to have this new unit for the next 5-10 years.
During a recent remodel, we were frustrated that we didn't have an oven for over a month and finally caved to buying this simply to get by. surprisingly, this has become my new favorite appliance! it is a fantastic oven, working efficiently at everything from cookies to a Jewish brisket. My kids use it every morning for toast and I've started dehydrating left over fruit as cocktail garnishes. we've even ditched our standalone air fryer! Super happy we bought this and look forward to using it in conjunction with my full oven for larger parties.
Built to last. The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is true quality and will not disappoint. It is an investment, but when you use it everyday as we do, the name and reputation makes it one of the best decisions we've made regarding our cooking needs!
This is the best counter-top over I've ever owned. And I've owned many.

My last counter-top over (made by a well-known French maker of food processors) gave me many years of good service, but finally gave it up. I'd been eying a Breville for several months, guided mainly by the great reviews it received from America's Test Kitchens and Consumer Reports. It did not disappoint! It lived up to its reviews, and I love it! I've owned many counter-top ovens over the years and this is head and shoulders the best.
