Have had 2 Breville 6-slice convection ovens for years. Air fryer is a wonderful additiional feature + many other new features. Use both new air fryer and previous Breville to cook for two. Buying a Breville air fryer oven for my daughter.
The oven arrived safely, beautifully packed. Have had it about a month. Love the dual racks that can be used either “right side up" or "upside-down." There is a bit of a learning curve, but that’s normal with any new appliance. Tried the air fry function and still need to learn the correct setting. Love the automatic settings for pizza, bagels, and toast. Miss the oven light coming on automatically for the last 30 seconds of use, but otherwise we are very pleased with our new Breville Smart Oven Air.
Had the previous model for a few years and recently gave it away to someone in need, hence the upgrade. Very versatile and quality piece of equipment for many tasks where a big oven is not necessary.
The oven is beautiful and performs well. I have not tried air fryer mode yet. This is second oven, I have been delighted with Breville support on ovens and other products.
Aside from great performance, having great customer support especially on repairs makes the price premium well worth the cost.
Without this type support, the products can become deadweight very quickly.
