Air fry edition with proof and dehydrate functions
on February 13, 2021
Posted by: Anonymous
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent. Keep far away from children as the outside gets extremely hot quickly. I do mean quickly. Get the cutting board for the top to protect yourself plus it’s handy to set plates and trays on. ❤️.
So easy. So smart. So nice. Read the directions.
I own the Breville all metal juicer $199.00 ❤️ and the Breville food processor ❤️. Wow. Dream products. I have yet to use the dehydrator function as I need more air fry trays and they are out of stock. This week I’m going to try the proof function. My husband is loving the air fried veggies. I watched Nutmeg Notebook on YouTube and they suggest a liner (has smaller holes) for the air fry tray and it was GREAT advice. I’m in love.
The foot print is fairly large as you need to leave room for the oven door to be supported by the table when opened. Don’t set anything on the open door. I’m so glad I didn’t try to save a few dollars and get the less functional one. I’m grateful to own this oven.
Thank you, Breville.

Nice oven with need to improve
on May 7, 2020
Posted by: Patel
All oven function works great and easy to use.
However need to insulate outer surface especially top surface as it gets burning hot.
Compare to older model newer smart oven model causes water droplet build up and steaming at the upper door corner on display panel side. This happens every time even when we toast bread which is a short time. As our oven is under kitchen cabinet, steam effects the cabinet wood and fades cabinet stain. Must address and improve this problem. I am also wondering whether water build up will eventually cause metal rusting.

Love The Oven But!
on January 1, 2018
Posted by: Nina M.
Cleaning this oven as stated does not work. I clean my oven after each use but it is impossible to get the oven and the rods cleaned. I have a Cadco Oven with removable parts that is a dream to clean. Wouldn't mind spending more money if you can enhance this oven for easier cleaning. Also, the light! If possible, a feature to keep the light on while cleaning and shut if off when done. I will still use my oven, but wish the oven had features to make cleaning it easier. Or, a special cleaner to clean the inside.

More than I expected !
on October 18, 2017
Posted by: Burt H.
I have owned and operated 5 major size restaurants in Southern California, smallest 305 seats, , Without a doubt the Smart Oven Air does more than I expected. I have bought two now and will buy two more for my boat. So compact, and offers so much more than any other single countertop appliance., I have given away my toaster, deep fryer, old toaster oven, and a few other counter top junk. The air fryer is truly better on food than a deep fryer, and so much better on your stomach and waistline. What they say about 30% quicker cooking time is very true, and I keep forgetting and over cook at times. I looked for months before buying and it was other owners of the Smart Air that convinced to buy. Thank you all. You have brought more joy to my kitchen, my love of cooking.

Confused
on June 21, 2017
Posted by: Carol
I love everything about the Smart Oven Air however I am baffled about one thing...When I set the timer and it goes off when the time is up and I check my food but I feel I need to cook it a little bit longer so I close the door and press start and the preheating stars all over again and preheats as long as the original preheating time....I only had the door open for less than a minute so it doesn't seem the oven woukd cool off to the extent that it needs to preheat that long again! Is that a design flaw?

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.

Works Well - Please Answer Some Questions
on April 20, 2019
Posted by: Mom J.
I purchased my Breville Smart Air oven about a year ago. My family loves it - very convenient when I do not want to heat up the large oven. It is designed well and easy to use. I am aware there are 6 heating elements inside the oven, 4 on the top and 2 on the bottom. My question is this, which elements are "on" during each of the preset functions? And to what degree? For example, for the "bake" function, which of the 6 heating elements are operating? And are they on "high" heat, medium or low? Are there any preset functions that just use the top or bottom heating elements? Thank you for any response.
