I have had it for about a month & we all love it. Although I bought it to replace our traditional aging air fryer (it was too small), it essentially replaced 2 additional appliances - out toaster & our oven. I hated the oven - the simplest task took at lease 20 mins with a lost of wastage of power. The Breville, can do the job is half the time or less from the fact it heats up in 2-3 mins (compare that to 10 mins in an oven) & cooks dishes in 3-15 mins (compare that to 5 -30 mins).
Of course, the air fryer component works great too, which was the primary reason we bought this unit & we use that less than I thought we would because of all the other settings like toast, pizza, etc.! So I would wholeheartedly recommend this.
I do have some gripes & not all of them have to do with the appliance itself. The hardest part for me is translating recipes written for conventional air fryer into those that will work for the Breville. There is a lot of trial & error involved. Although Breville has put out recipes, we need more of them & also some suggestions in translating recipes meant for traditional air fryer & conventional oven.
This is the best Smart Oven available! I love all the features available and the fact that it’s so easy to clean. Breville’s Customer Service is top notch and very helpful….always wanting to make certain that the customer is completely happy with their products. I have many Breville appliances that are all marvelous! If my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer ever dies, it will be replaced by Breville’s Stand Up Mixer! Love Breville and all it’s appliances!!!
What a great addition to my kitchen. It’s wonderful having another oven with more features. Excited for the holidays no waiting to put in a pie, cake or vegetable. This oven looks beautiful on my counter.
It replaced my oster toaster oven. Which still functions after several years of daily use! The Breville is my upgrade! And what an upgrade! Love the heating controls, fun to play with! Presets are always nice too! I rave about it to anyone who’ll listen or not! Lol! I’m dedicated to small oven usage and this one seems to function flawlessly! So, thank you for building my newest best friend!
This oven is amazing! We will never use anything other than our Breville Smart Oven! Preheats in minutes! Cooks unbelievable! So many options! We will never use our range stove ever again! FIVE STARS!!!
I bought this as a warmer for smoked brisket. It works perfectly for that. I use the "warm setting" and hold the brisket for 15 hours. Very happy with purchase.
I.Love.This.Oven. It's my third one. I use it relentlessly. I just wish it was self-cleaning. But I understand that self-cleaning requires an excessive amount of heat; and this wonderfully built, convenient appliance is not equipped for that. Otherwise it is my favorite kitchen appliance. I do everything in it: cook, bake, heat, roast. And now it's an airfryer too. Plan to use the dehydrator soon.
