In spite of a defective first-purchase of this a few years ago (door would not close), this was quickly replaced by Breville. Recently the fan in the replacement went out, so returned to Breville only to learn that it could not be repaired to meet their standards. They offered to replace at a good discount, so recently I purchased it again.
I am crazy about this oven and use whenever possible instead of my full size one. It does what it says. The only thing I have not tried is the dehydrator, but plan to do so. In spite of the 2 random problems, I do not want to be without this oven, and highly recommend. Breville was great to work with as well. A superb company with a great product, and would get again.
I bought a Breville airfryer and find that it doesn't deep fry very well. The broil, bake and dehydrate functions are OK. My main complaint is that the heating element area is almost impossible to clean. I wouldn't buy it again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your review and your feedback. We do value customers' input. We'll definitely pass along your feedback to the appropriate people, as we are continuously trying to improve our customer's experience.
Blows the circuit so we can’t use it. Obviously could be our house, which is not old construction/electrical, but a problem when purchasing the unit for any home that it either draws so much power or surges, etc.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Wish it had an extra inch in the interior

I recently replaced my old Breville toaster oven with a Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro and use it almost every day: toast, bake, slow cooker, air fryer. The only reason I do not give it 5 stars is because the interior width dimension, which I understood to be 16 inches is slightly less due to the rack slots. Therefore, the oven does not accommodate some of my bread baking pans, 9x13 pans with handles, etc. So unfortunately I’m not getting quite the use out of it that I had anticipated. That said, it’s an essential appliance in my kitchen.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Multi Function Appliance

I've had other Breville ovens, but this is the best ever. I've made pot roast on the slow cook setting & it was excellent. Air fry is great for bacon. I plan to try dehydrate next. Gave away my stand alone air fryer & the crockpot is going too. If you plan to buy a Breville oven, upgrade to this one. You won't be disappointed. I have several Breville appliances & they're all top of the line.

It can do (practically) anything!

When the Smart Oven Air came out, I asked myself, "Why buy a new oven when my Smart Oven Pro works perfectly well?" But when I read that the Smart Oven Air can air-fry, I had my excuse to buy it. (We gave the Smart Oven Pro to our grateful oldest daughter.) Yes, the Smart Oven can air-fry, but what I didn't know is that it can dehydrate, too. In fact, right now it's making a batch of dried jerky treats for our dogs. (Recipe on request.) Although our main cooking device is our microwave, we use at least twice a week (primarily on the weekend when my husband and I have more time to cook). We've used it for everything: pizza, cookies, cakes, chicken wings, frozen snacks, and jerky (as mentioned). We've had it only for about a month, so I can assure you we will use it for many, many more snacks and meals in the months and years to come. Good job, Breville. Another outstanding appliance!
