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.
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.
