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.

Bad quality shelf and tray
on December 13, 2020
Posted by: Gustavo
I like the performance of the oven, but I am disappointed with the quality of the shelf and tray. Those pieces already look rusty and bad looking. It is a relatively new oven because it is only 5 months old and I use it once or twice a week. I am very careful with cleaning and all my appliances. I would like to know if you could review my complaint.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Verified Purchase:Yes
We purchased this because it was rated as a top air fryer. This device does many things - including ruining 90 percent of the food i put in it. Air frying is definitely something this machine does NOT do well. It will turn your food to mush with a few burned pieces on the outsides.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great oven bad design
on January 1, 2020
Posted by: Kirkwood
I hate writing bad reviews on what should have been an awesome product but I know for a fact this will not last a long time and for the price I am very very disappointed. The oven itself works great but how and where they have placed the digital timer and dials are ( DEFINITELY IN THE WRONG PLACE ) and on top of that, they have nothing in place to stop the steam and moisture that's pumping out of that side like the funnel of a steam engine from getting in there, and as you can guess in am already having issues with my oven already, it's been only 4 months since in bought mine, so for everyone who made it longer than a year I am really happy for you.
