This appliance is a beast and can produce stellar results. Just like beginning to use a microwave oven or sous vide equipment, it has a learning curve, but in short order I am more than pleased at the results. It is humbling to know that an appliance is smarter than I am...
I love my Smart Oven. It pre-heats super fast and the window lets me see the progress of my baked items. I love that I can fit a 9x13 baking dish in it. I was tempted to purchase a new gas range with a double oven or a duel fuel range. But then I saw the Breville Smart Oven and decided I would purchase that plus a regular gas range and have the best of both worlds. I am glad I made that decision.
I’m absolutely in love with this device!! It truly does everything it says and does it well. I baked homemade bread, cookies, i toast bagels and toast. The air fryer is awesome and I love the big basket. You will not regret this purchase!!
We love how versatile this oven is! It makes toast! It fries french fries, whether frozen or freshly cut! It bakes muffins and cakes! It reheats leftovers nice and crispy! That's just what we've done in the first few days. I can't wait to try some new recipes and methods. A winner all around!
Wonderful oven! I was able to reduce my appliances because it air frys too. I’ve used very function so far and it works flawlessly.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I replaced my conventional oven with the AirFryer Pro years ago... after the redesign of the control panel... so long ago I don't remember the exact year. Since then I've baked, risen, roasted, toasted, fried, reheated, dehydrated, and stewed without an issue. I still haven't used all the available features... Other than having to tweak my technique of frying sweet potato fries, I've had no issues. I prefer this over the large conventional oven I gave away: it sits on metal shelving (good airflow and more storage in my old house), has it's dedicated circuit breaker (thanks, dad), heats up quicker and leaves my kitchen cooler, keeps foods at convenient height for curious eyes as well as hands (no bending back or knees or struggling with heavy loads or navigating around oven doors), and it does everything I need. The downsides: it's a little difficult reaching in/around elements to clean, limited space in terms of multiple dishes with separate needs, and I still remember the nerve it took to swipe my credit card. One recent issue: The door has started 'catching'... needing to be pushed slightly downward to close... but only intermittently and not a big deal- I'm hoping it's a short-lived fluke (thanks to my kid trying to cook?); hasn't happened in over a week now. Another downer: I tend to maximize sheet pan size which requires me to rotate pans once during baking- I should have bought an extra rack or two and stayed with the 9x 13 sheet pan size... but it could just be my pans are a bit cheaper than need be.
Overall, no regrets. It's small/compact, powerful, energy-saving, and does what I need. It does not feel excessive despite the technology and pricetag- It just feels smart. Sounds odd, but I'm a proud owner.
