This is our second Breville Oven. After over 15+ years of DAILY use, our first Breville while still operational, was showing signs of age. We certainly received many great years of service from it! When considering another countertop oven, our selection was easy; ANOTHER BREVILLE! When we purchased our new Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro, we were surprised at all the improvements that have been made over the years. The addition of an interior light is really great. It’s super bright and lets you keep an eye on what’s cooking. The Breville quality is still evident as this unit is well built and works wonderfully. We have yet to try all the new features but are looking forward to many delicious meals!
It’s an excellent product. I am loving the convection and air frying capabilities. I’m able to whip up great meals fast. My cast iron pan even fits so my steaks and pork chops are moist and perfectly done.
We are enjoying our new Smart Oven Air Pro from Breville. It is being used in our basement kitchen so far as an extra little appliance down there. Pizza's come out great, Chicken Kiev's too. We tried the air frying function with frozen wings not breaded. They crisped up a bit, but by no means were crispy like fried chicken wings. The thing we did NOT like about air frying function is the clean up is VERY messy, even with the pan underneath the basket. Just be prepared if using that function, it will be messy and as soon as oven is cooled clean it up right away! It's still new, haven't tried all features yet, so far we are happy with the appliance. It is pricey though!
I have really been enjoying my new toaster oven. While I have not had a chance to really use the Air Fry option, I love the fact that it is larger than what I had an I can get a quarter sheet pan in the oven with room to spare. It certainly has a lot more options that I really wanted. I do wish that Breville had more recipes online for the air fry function. Most of what I have found online do not work for this oven.
We’ve owned a number of Breville appliances including the smaller “Smart Oven”, as well as the no longer available K-Cup Coffee Maker. We have loved them all for their style, function and reliability.
We did have issue with one oven, and Breville took care of the issue immediately and had a replacement out to us the very next day.
For this, I regretted not buying it a year ago and I purchased a different Air Fryer as we already had a Smart Oven in great condition. Biggest regret of my appliance life! I used the other Fryer once… I hated it. Since receiving this one, I have been using the Air Fryer at least weekly, as well as the Cookie Function, Pizza and Proofing. Love it!
