My old Smart Oven lasted 4 years. I was disappointed that it broke. However, I did buy a new one because it is a great addition to my fully equipped kitchen. I hope this one lasts longer.
I use the Smart Oven more than our regular oven. It heats up fast and is easy to operate. It is my first choice before using our large regular range. I have made everything from Pizza to proofing and baking bread. I wish that there were better cookbooks specifically for the Breville. I love this oven and do not have buyers remorse. I researched other choices and very happy that I finally decided on the Breville smart oven pro.
I bought the Breville air fryer/counter over pro and could not be more pleased. The product us very well made and highly functional. It’s a very nice looking and very practical small countertop appliance that has been providing our home with stellar performance since we bought it (over a month ago).
Works great, just wish I wasn't on my 3rd one in just over 5 years.

We got this to replace our toaster over and air fryer, and it has turned out to be one of the most used appliance in the kitchen. Air frying, dehydrating, proofing, toasting, and most often just regular old baking, both as an additional second oven, or as the primary oven for anything that fits. I just wish it had proved for durable. Our first one lasted a bit over four years, then the door spring. This seems to be a common problem because repair parts were sold out everywhere. We bought a second one at full retail, and within just a few months, the convection fan failed. Breville replaced it under warranty, but we did have to ship the defective one back and wait some time to get the replacement. That's too much failure in too short a time for such an expensive appliance. Hopefully this latest unit lasts so long that I forget about the earlier problems, because it has become hard to do without.
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.
