I use my Breville almost daily for baking, toasting, broiling, air frying, even slow cooking and bake cookies. It's more efficient than using a larger oven for just the two of us. But when I need the extra oven space for company, it great to have! I can see where it could replace several other appliances.
I LOVE the Smart Oven Air. I was looking for an airfryer and chose the Smart Oven Air because of it's multiple functions. I use the Smart Oven Air for almost all of my cooking now instead of my big double wall ovens. The Smart Oven Air is so convenient and preheats quickly, has a built in timer, and reminds me when to rotate my food. Everything cooks quickly and evenly in the Smart Oven Air. The Smart Oven Air is large enough to cook in a 9x13 pan and also can hold a round pizza pan. This versatile oven is designed and engineered well! I highly recommend. I have other Breville appliances as well and all of them are high quality and well designed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I’ve had many countertop-convection ovens/air fryers/multi-units and am pretty hard on them. I bake and decorate desserts professionally, and my past professional history included man years working in the research and development department of a chem lab for a major manufacturer. I’m used to the process and opinion is great, but forming your own opinion through tests you know you control, thats key. I read reviews for everything I purchase through an independent testing organization (Consumer Reports) and value their findings more than the “opinion” of someone that took something out of the box, used it minimally and then wrote a review.
We purchased this unit a few weeks ago, and I have honestly used it Multiple times every day to make All three meals and snacks, cookies, pizza, fries, fish fillets, chicken breast tenders, home-cut French fries, onion rings, cakes, cookies, pies, roasts, stews, ribs... endless uses and have used every setting on this unit at least once. I put it through it’s paces with a number if different oven thermometers in various places to the house the evenness of oven heating an honestly, this unit has not disappointed in any way. Even browning, even toasting, not burning, great temperature distribution, powerful fan with multiple and controllable settings and is totally user-friendly. The solid construction comes through in the unit in every way from the “feel” of the controls to the obvious quality of moving parts, to the solid feel of all included accessories. I was honestly hesitant to spend a relatively premium price on an at-home oven, but figured I’d give it a try once i felt it at the store and checked it out online, I was comfortable with the Breville name and quality,so I had nothing to lose.
I’m not disappointed in any way. Breville can be proud of this unit’s design and functionality, and any consumer can trust that this unit will outperform pretty much every other unit made for the at-home chef or pastry artist. This is my second Breville product and I’ve found the same quaity consistently through any product I’ve had the opportunity use either at our house, in store or at a friend’s house.
Kudos to Breville for standing out in a time when other companies are masking inferior workmanship with shiny, pretty products that break down quickly and give sub-par results and producing this unit. Totally versatile. Totally performs. Totally excites me to be in my kithcen again!! Thank you Breville
Good machine. Convection does help, but would have liked to have a user manual or cookbook that translates conventional oven cooking times to the Breville oven using convection or super convection. Also need a better steam vent path rather than corner of door near handle.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Had this for almost three years. we use it regularly - so much so that we hardly ever use our traditional stove any more. However, problems are now cropping up. It no longer toasts bread evenly. One side toasts per normal while the other is still white. Also - the door mechanism has been sticking open now and gets caught on something unseen? After much fidgeting was able to get it to close again, but now the door will not close all the way. tried contacting Breville and was told it was out of warranty....
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This oven is the ultimate must have piece of equipment! Every function ( air fryer, slow cook, dehydrate etc ) is excellent! I don’t even bother using my stand alone oven anymore unless I am baking a three layer cake.
