I’ve put the Smart Oven® Air Fryer Pro through the paces in less than a month. I bought the toaster oven based on the excellent reviews by users at King Arthur as well as reviews published in Consumer Reports, America’s Test Kitchen & Wirecutter.
The Dehydrate, Proofing and Air Fryer functions have opened up various culinary paths that I had not been on before. It’s made cooking something fun again and like other reviews said, I’ve been using my big gas oven less.
I like being able to set the function, time, and temperature on items that take longer like dehydrate and proof and know that the oven will turn itself off.
I wish that the oven was smart enough to have a delay schedule timer and that a special cleaning brush was included in the box for the air fryer basket.
I’ve only had this for a short time but it has easily become one of the best items I have ever purchased. I have not used my oven once since purchasing this and I use my breville every day. It is amazing don’t hesitate, just buy it.
So far so good.., only had it for 2 weeks. We have used toast, air fryer, broil, and bake settings so far and didn’t have an issue with any of those settings. Got some good ideas for drip trays when using the crisper basket. Two items I wish would be available via Breville is a tray that accompanies the crisper trays and a low profile rolling tray to use under the BSOAF to make it easier to pull out from under my cabinets. I did add the cutting board to keep on the top of my unit and that has been very helpful to have. We are both very happy with our Smart oven air fryer pro.
This is my second air fryer .we never use our oven what so ever. This machine does it all ! This appliance is like my dishwasher and microwave I WILL NEVER BE WITHOUT IT!!! I use it numerous times per day.
Purchased a BOV900 BSSUSC in December 2021 and loved the intuitive controls and function. I probably am responsible for many being sold because of my recommendations to friends & family. Unfortunately, we experienced a part failure only three years later. We maintain our appliances meticulously and were surprised with the quick failure based on the price of the oven. The door spring couldn't be located due to back-orders, so we assume others have experienced the same issue. It would be nice if Breville could offer something.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this to replace the original Breville oven I got in 2010. There was no oven in the small house I bought so it was my full time oven. 14 years of great cooking. Looking forward to the Air Fryer setting that is new to me.
This is our second unit. The first one had issues with the door opening properly rendering it unusable. Even with issues, we liked it so much we were happy with another. Well, today the spring that helps close the door snapped (or became loose) during use. We love the functionality of it, but at this point have to question the quality (and value for the money).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Worked great for a while then the door wouldn't close all the way. We got it to work but it did it again today and we can't get it to work again.
