This is the third Smart Oven we have purchased and the Air is the best of the three. It’s large enough to cook just about anything, has enough settings to cook anything from toast to a slow cooked meal and everything in between. Brevity stands behind its products which also makes a huge difference.
The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is cleaning. It can get greasy inside with all the use it gets and there is not a real easy way to clean the inside of the oven, I really wish they had some sort of self clean function like regular ovens have.
Great appliance! Love the myriad ways to heat and cook. Very even cooking. Air Fry capability is amazing. Very large footprint, but worth it. Rarely if ever do I use my regular oven. Nice interior light. Features I'd like... meat temperature probe, griddle pan. Very happy. This is my Second Breville oven and third appliance.
This is a great oven, so well made, like all Breville products I own or have owned. It is solid and the selection dials are easy to understand and use. I use the air fry feature to make cooked/crisp vegetables all the time. You can't go wrong with Breville.
I’ve had many countertop-convection ovens/air fryers/multi-units and am pretty hard on them. I bake and decorate desserts professionally, and my past professional history included man years working in the research and development department of a chem lab for a major manufacturer. I’m used to the process and opinion is great, but forming your own opinion through tests you know you control, thats key. I read reviews for everything I purchase through an independent testing organization (Consumer Reports) and value their findings more than the “opinion” of someone that took something out of the box, used it minimally and then wrote a review.
We purchased this unit a few weeks ago, and I have honestly used it Multiple times every day to make All three meals and snacks, cookies, pizza, fries, fish fillets, chicken breast tenders, home-cut French fries, onion rings, cakes, cookies, pies, roasts, stews, ribs... endless uses and have used every setting on this unit at least once. I put it through it’s paces with a number if different oven thermometers in various places to the house the evenness of oven heating an honestly, this unit has not disappointed in any way. Even browning, even toasting, not burning, great temperature distribution, powerful fan with multiple and controllable settings and is totally user-friendly. The solid construction comes through in the unit in every way from the “feel” of the controls to the obvious quality of moving parts, to the solid feel of all included accessories. I was honestly hesitant to spend a relatively premium price on an at-home oven, but figured I’d give it a try once i felt it at the store and checked it out online, I was comfortable with the Breville name and quality,so I had nothing to lose.
I’m not disappointed in any way. Breville can be proud of this unit’s design and functionality, and any consumer can trust that this unit will outperform pretty much every other unit made for the at-home chef or pastry artist. This is my second Breville product and I’ve found the same quaity consistently through any product I’ve had the opportunity use either at our house, in store or at a friend’s house.
Kudos to Breville for standing out in a time when other companies are masking inferior workmanship with shiny, pretty products that break down quickly and give sub-par results and producing this unit. Totally versatile. Totally performs. Totally excites me to be in my kithcen again!! Thank you Breville
