I love my new oven but the racks are very difficult to put in the oven. They are very tight fitting so the magnetic rack pull out feature does not work at all.
I’ve only used it for a few months and it is already broken. For a while I just thought I was making mistakes in my recipes and I just kept cranking up the heat to make up for it. It’s a new oven and it was great in the beginning so it didn’t even cross my mind something was wrong with it. I finally just realized that the bottom heating element is broken. That’s why my pies and cookies always end up with soggy bottoms. Breville please help. What do I do?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is my 2nd Breville oven, the size is great, the functions are great but I do take points from the rating based on the fact that the heating elements tend to break. I had to replace the oven after 3 years for this reason. I stayed with the brand due to the fact it really does perform well otherwise. Once they are broken, the oven must be returned for repair or replaced. Buy the extended warranty. I did but the elements broke after warranty. It's an expensive investment to only last 3 years.
Got this oven for Christmas in 2023. We used it a medium amount. Sometimes go for days without turning it on and the. using it a few times a day for a week straight. Given our varied usage, I’d say it got standard, not unusual or heavy, use. And to be fair, it worked well while it lasted. But today we got the E06 error message. Basically means the internal sensor or the heat element is dead. Very expensive to fix and would be better to just get a new one. But for this much $ we should have gotten 5-7 years out of this appliance!!! After doing some research it seems this is a common issue with this model. Every article I read says buying a less complicated oven with fewer options may be better as those often last longer (fewer things to go wrong, less expensive to fix). Think before investing in this piece! I wish I had done more research.

I purchased the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro in December 2025, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. From the very first use, it was clear that this appliance was thoughtfully designed with both performance and convenience in mind.
The versatility is one of its standout features—I’ve used it for everything from air frying and roasting to baking and toasting, and the results have been consistently excellent. The air fryer function delivers crispy, evenly cooked food without the need for excessive oil, while the convection settings ensure everything cooks faster and more evenly than a traditional oven.
I also appreciate how intuitive and user-friendly the controls are. The display is clear, the presets are genuinely useful, and it’s easy to customize settings when needed. Preheating is quick, and the interior is spacious enough to handle larger meals, which has made it incredibly useful for both everyday cooking and entertaining.
Another big plus is the build quality. It feels sturdy and well-made, and it’s held up beautifully with regular use over the past few months. Cleanup is straightforward as well, which makes using it even more enjoyable.
Overall, I’ve had nothing but positive experiences with this oven. It’s become an essential part of my kitchen, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, multifunctional countertop appliance.
