We love our Smart Oven Air!
on September 10, 2020
Posted by: Michael S.
Over the years we have tried many ovens, electric, gas, etc. The Smart Oven Air is a KEEPER! We use it every single day, from making toast, bagels, crispy pizza with convection, air fried chicken tenders, proofing dough, you name it! The variety of heat, convection, and timing options will allow for anything we want to prepare. Honestly, we cannot think of anything that would make this device better, it is absolutely perfect for us! Love the blue/orange LCD display, with big easy to read numbers and setting descriptors, makes it so easy to see what's going on, how much time left, and the light turns on 10 seconds before it's done cooking, along with the beeping so you don't burn your latest creation. Good job Breville! We love the brushed stainless steel and durable construction.

This is an essential appliance
on September 10, 2020
Posted by: Bob B.
This is my second Breville oven. I loved my last one, buy when this larger one came out I had to have it. I have had it for a couple years now. This counter oven is the most important appliance I own. I use it every day. It is awesome for fries. It is also great to bake muffins and breads. The super convection makes the best frozen pizza and super fluffy biscuits. I frequently use the warm feature for dinner when I am making several different things. I basically stopped using my crock pot, since I can brown stuff in a pot on the stove then I put the pot right from the stovetop into this oven to slow cook. This is so helpful for big meals like at thanksgiving. I cook whole chickens and roast potatoes in this all of the time too. I almost never use my regular oven. I proof bread at 85 degrees, so helpful on chilly days. The temperature is very accurate. The only thing to complain about is that the toast feature takes longer than other machines because it is so big it takes a while to heat up enough to toast. If it is cold, it takes about 5-6 minutes. It does make perfect toast though, even when you are making 8 pieces at a time, they are all perfectly brown. I would never be without this oven, if it breaks out of warrantee, I will buy another the next day. I use a 10x15 size baking sheet, that is the biggest that fits(try the NordicWare Jelly roll pan- it fits perfect.) It takes a little while to get used to convection, but it is definitely worth adjusting your recipes for things like biscuits and pizza. I have to stop, but I could go on.

Great functionally, dumb interface
on September 6, 2020
Posted by: Byron T.
Our Breville toaster oven is a great all-round addition to our kitchen. That said, the knobs are counter-intuitive and confusing. There are 3 dials: mode, temperature and time. The first confusing item is the mode dial. The display shows the mode selection arrows on the left side of the screen. Normally, to go up the arrows (on the left) one would turn the left side of the dial up, i.e. clockwise. But this edition of the oven requires you to turn it counter-clockwise. Likewise, if you want to increase the temperature or time, you'd think it would be the same to turn counter-clockwise to increase. But these dials work in the opposite direction and you'll need to turn them clockwise. This back and forth and disconnect between the display, mode dial and other dials makes for this a cumbersome and confusing appliance to use. Everytime.
There is also a steam build up on the side of the oven door and controls which can form a pool of water under the oven. I am not sure if this is intended.

Takes too long to toast, pizza cycle doesn't cook evenly, good alternate to the large wall oven
on August 13, 2020
Posted by: Ed
I initially bought it to replace a toaster oven which worked perfectly for six pieces of toast. The Breville takes longer to toast, so sometimes I just go back to the older toaster oven. The other drawback is the pizza function. During the pizza cycle, only the top two outer elements heat up and the two inner ones remain off, consequently, the center of the pizza is always undercooked in comparison with the edges. I use the correct pan and position and rotate as directed. I contacted Breville to see if there's something wrong with my oven and I was told that it functions as it should. I also asked if there's another cycle that is similar to pizza but one that fires up all top elements and I was told no. So, I am going to play around with cycles to see if I can resolve this issue. Biggest benefit is that it is a perfect substitute for the large wall oven when cooking small portions. It heats up much faster and reduces cooking time.

Your microwave and oven is now obsolete (sorry!)

No joke, this simple little appliance is a game changer... it is loud after you toast to cool down, though

Dont Rush Out To BUY
on July 4, 2020
Posted by: Barbara
I had the original Breville toaster oven with convection and loved it so I thought I would upgrade to the large one with the air fryer. What a mistake! First of all the toaster is not as good and the airgryer makes the biggest mess I have ever seen.It doesn't cook or crisp as well as the little dash air fryer I had and you have to do a major clean up job afterward. I would not suggest anyone buy this for the air fryer!!!

Steam release next to electronics
on June 29, 2020
Posted by: Ronald
I have seen many good reviews of the Smart Oven Air. My only concern is the video reviews I've seen of this item, there was steam releasing from the door. I'm concerned the electronics right next to where this steam being released will affect the longevity of the oven. I would like to see the engineers to have sealed the door with a heat and waterproof seal. Also, it seems as though foods cook more quickly or brown more towards the back of the unit. This could be remedied by placement of the convection fans, or at least directing the airflow of the convection fans. I must admit, I do not own this oven. I am only commenting of what I have noticed in video reviews. It does seem to be better designed than many other small ovens I have seen. I would just like to have my concerns addressed before I were to purchase one. I do own a Breville Sous Chef food processor and love it.
