This is a truly practical counter top oven. You can bake a full loaf of bread, 12 muffins, or a 9” pie in it with great success. Even does a good job making toast. If you have the counter space for it, don’t settle for anything smaller. Worth the price.
we owned the breville smart oven pro, but wanted an air fryer., so we bought the breville smart oven air fryer pro. it is larger, has 2 racks inside, and we use it for everything. made excellent air fried steak as well as vegetables. of course we also use it for baking, toasting and broiling. we have an electric stove, so using the smart oven air fryer pro, uses less electricity, takes a shorter time to get to the correct temperature and doesn't heat up the kitchen.
Never thought I could be in love with a piece of kitchen equipment that takes up counter space but this Air Fryer Pro is the best!! I love that it's big enough to hold my 9 x 13. I haven't used my stove oven since this arrived!! Tator tots in my air fryer are super crispy and reheated pizza (on the pizza setting) tastes like fresh pizza.
The first oven I purchased was dead on arrival and I had to drive to a nearby town to return it and purchase another. That said though, this is an awesome oven. Ultimately I'm thrilled with it.
My last Breville Smart oven lasted 7 yrs before the convection fan went wonky. I could still do everything in it, just no convection. Loved that oven! So I bought the big sister, and so far so good. Love all the options, esp. dough proof and slow cook. I am so happy 9x13 pans will fit in this larger one. I have noticed, especially on homemade biscuits that I must turn them halfway if convection is on so browning is even. Other than that, we use it more than once a day and cooked many Thanksgiving dishes in it. It fulfills my cooking needs and nice to display on your counter.
This is a fantastic product! It has completely changed what I eat and the way I cook. So very easy to use, so accessible, and all my air fried foods come out perfect every time. I love air frying potatoes, veggie burgers, okra, frozen Trader Joe veggie bites, and just about everything I eat.
I like this oven so much I practically never use my big oven, which takes so long to heat and doesn't cook as evenly even though it is one of those high end name brand ovens that costs 10 times as much as the Smart Oven. And now I actually have two Smart Air ovens side by side that meet all my cooking needs! Just in love with this oven.
The only reason I don't give it 5 stars are two things: The crumb tray is hard to keep clean. I didn't realize fully how delicate it was and that it needed special handling - and to never ever let food drip onto it. Also, my oven malfunctioned a year and 3 months into its life. However, Breville gave me fantastic customer service and replaced my oven promptly with a new oven.
This oven was an excellent purchase. It is so well made and works flawlessly. I recommend this oven to all that is in the market for this appliance. I could not be more pleased.
