My husband gave me this for Christmas. At first, I was a little bit afraid of the Smart Over Air Fryer Pro.... so many functions!! But, finally I decided to just turn it on, cook something and see what happened. Well, let's just say that I haven't used my oven at all. This is a fantastic appliance! I had a basket style air fryer, but I felt like it just wasn't versatile enough. I really, really like my Breville. It lives up to every expectation that I had, and I can now understand why so many friends recommended it over other similar ovens.
I absolutely love my oven!! This is my second one. The first one lasted 6 years until I broke the heating element cleaning it. You will not be disappointed it is worth every penny!
Very versatile and love the air fryer option. Only area for improvement would be insulating the top and sides so wouldn’t get so hot. We store items on top when not in use and have to remove each time.
My new smart oven has worked as expected. As with any new appliances, there is an adjustment period for the quirks. The larger size oven turns out to be a perk and minus at the same time. I love the quarts heating elements being able to heat up quickly but find that it does need to preheat due to the size of the oven. My previous one is smaller and there was no preheating involved. I wish there was a printed guideline for the various selection, temperature and time pair with certain food such as meat, vegetables, pastries, etc. One thing I do find annoying is how much steam seems to be venting out esp. on the top right side of the door where the led window and the electronics are located. Overall, my impressions so far as been very good.
While pricey, unit is well worth the price. Simple and intuitive layout and design, all-around functionality, and cooks to perfection, what more could I ask for?
I have wanted this Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro for years. When my 5 yr old air fryer died, I thought now is the time to get it. Even though there was nothing wrong with my toaster oven, I couldn't stop thinking about getting this. It's on my counter top, where my old toaster oven is & I love it! I am so glad that I finally pulled the trigger & bought this. It's wonderful! I couldn't rave about it more! If you are considering this oven, then do it! You won't be disappointed! You'll wonder why you didn't buy it sooner. I use the air fryer setting most of the time instead of the bake setting. No complaints from me!
