We had the smaller smart oven pro for many years and were very satisfied with it and wanted to get an airfryer but didn't like the options out there, so we researched Breville and decided to purchase based on our previous experience with our toaster oven. We are very satisfied with the purchase and the air frying. The size of oven and ability to cook a number of things at once and to be able to air fry a lot of fries or whatever is what we appreciate.
I have had my new oven over a week now and this oven is a Lamborghini compared to my last one. Even cooking, toast is perfect, warming feature is great. One issue though. There is NO DRIP PAN FOR AIRFRYING. So making air fried wings, chicken thighs, anything that may drip fat isn’t feasible. I looked at accessories thinking maybe an optional drip tray was available, but no, there isn’t. This cuts down on the versatility of the air fry option. And I’m highly disappointed in that. So if you plan on making anything that may drip, consider another brand. This is my only reason for a 4 star instead of 5 star review.
This appliance is the most used one in my kitchen and I love it.Can’t wait to try lots of air fryer recipes. Air fryer is perfect. Hubby likes the toaster oven setting for sandwiches. Bought the air fryer basket liners which helps keep it clean. But easy to clean with or without liners. Highly recommend.
I would recommend this to a friend!

i had the red Breville from Williams-Sonoma for 8 years and loved it. this year I bought the black on with the air fryer option and gave my red one to a friend still using it. i love their functionality but they are beyond hard to clean!! the spring-loaded door wont stay open and cannot clean the top elements and ceiling without turning the whole oven upside down and having someone else hold the door open. would love any suggestions to meka this easier! i resorted to using easy-off on the red one but don't really like doing that.
Bought this a month ago, still trying to figure out why everything takes SO long to cook? Even toast toast takes about 8 minutes? I air fried some appetizers which should have taken 10-12 min took 25 min? And I’m preheating which takes forever as well. Why is this?
This oven is exactly what I have been looking for. The usage options are many and cover all that I have been wanting in an oven. And I really like the ease of cleaning the bottom catch all tray.
