Just bought Smart Oven Air fryer pro...

We just bought Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro. We got rid of our microwave and wanted something with a healthier alternative to cooking. We set the Smart Oven air fryer pro in th same space we had the microwave oven, which is not on a counter top, but up above the in a space in the upper cabinets where you often see microwaves, which is about the same height as the top oven in a double wall oven set up. I'm 5 feet tall and can not read the Smart Oven LCD screen. The LCD screen was desighned to be read looking down at it on a counter, if the oven is up in space like a microwave would be, the LCD looks blank. When I stand at my husbands 6 foot height, while I'm on a stool, I can read the LCD screen. It's too bad Breville has calibrated the LCD screen to be read solely from a counter top or a the very least have a the LCD screen adjustable, so it can be read from different vantage points of height. I wish I'd know this before buying! Kathy, Washington State
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from breville.comBy Consumer Support, February 16, 2022
Thank you for your feedback. It is true that the oven is meant to be used on a countertop. You'll notice in the manual, it indicates that a minimum distance of 4" (10cm) of space on both sides of the appliance and 6" (15cm) above is required when operating the oven. Not having this clearance can actually cause the oven to malfunction, and can void the warranty. Please don't hesitate to reach out should any questions arise. You can either send us an email at askus@brevilleusa.com or call us at 866-273-8455. We'll be happy to help you from there.
My air fryer of 4+ years that gets used a minimum of 4 X per week, was worn out and just beat down. It was a basket fryer that served me very, very well. It was however time for an upgrade. A friend of mine and I got to talking about air fryers and she told me she had the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro and loved it. I did my research and was impressed with all the amazing features and versatility of it so I purchased one. I could not be any happier with it. This machine is absolutely brilliant. So many functions that allow me to do so much in the kitchen. Totally worth every penny. The way it cooks food is beyond compare. I hardly use my oven any more. I absolutely love it.
Great extra oven to have! Toast/Bagels take a little bit longer than a normal toaster oven. We've had to play with temperatures and times, but have had great success with everything we've made so far.
Things I love about it: - Everything I have cooked has been perfect. Pizza, cookies, nuggets, etc. - The removable stainless steel tray at the bottom. Easy to clean. - The indicators on the glass door tell you which rack to use according to your food. - The digital panel with all the options. - all the accessories it comes with.
It is a little big but for everything it offers I think I am ok having it on my countertop.
I bought the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro to replace a smaller Breville oven. The old one still works, but I wanted a larger capacity and the air fryer mode. Based on my experience I believe that Breville products are superior to all others.
Works well for all the features I've already used. Toast, bake, roast, air fry and dehydrate. I just wished it came with more recipes on dehydrating as well as more than one air fry/dehydrating tray.
Incredibly versatile and well designed appliance. Could eliminate the need for several other kitchen appliances. Very easy to clean.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought on 02/11/22 and I made roasted vegetables and they came out really good. My only complaint is on the box it listed everything that will be included. However my box did not come with the cutting board and i was not happy about that..Let me know what I can do about that.
