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.
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.
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!
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.
