Not a good investment!

The smart oven air fryer pro Initially worked great, but after only 2 years it started having issues. The door when closing by default leaves an open gap, no longer fully closing without it being pushed. Even when the door is closed, the steam still seeps through the corners of the oven. Leaving stains all around that area. The heating has become unreliable, leaving my food cooked unevenly. I’ve had a Breville smart oven in a different model before this one and it worked great for many years. Wish I could say the same for this one, but unfortunately I can not. I spent so much money on this product and wished it would last me a longer time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Air fry edition with proof and dehydrate functions

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice oven with need to improve
on May 7, 2020

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.

Disappointing

All the bells and whistles takes 10 minutes to toast a simple slice of bread . Air fryer is great . Overpriced I had to buy a toaster . Stay clear !!!

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?
