This is the best Smart Oven available! I love all the features available and the fact that it’s so easy to clean. Breville’s Customer Service is top notch and very helpful….always wanting to make certain that the customer is completely happy with their products. I have many Breville appliances that are all marvelous! If my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer ever dies, it will be replaced by Breville’s Stand Up Mixer! Love Breville and all it’s appliances!!!
I have had it for about a month & we all love it. Although I bought it to replace our traditional aging air fryer (it was too small), it essentially replaced 2 additional appliances - out toaster & our oven. I hated the oven - the simplest task took at lease 20 mins with a lost of wastage of power. The Breville, can do the job is half the time or less from the fact it heats up in 2-3 mins (compare that to 10 mins in an oven) & cooks dishes in 3-15 mins (compare that to 5 -30 mins).
Of course, the air fryer component works great too, which was the primary reason we bought this unit & we use that less than I thought we would because of all the other settings like toast, pizza, etc.! So I would wholeheartedly recommend this.
I do have some gripes & not all of them have to do with the appliance itself. The hardest part for me is translating recipes written for conventional air fryer into those that will work for the Breville. There is a lot of trial & error involved. Although Breville has put out recipes, we need more of them & also some suggestions in translating recipes meant for traditional air fryer & conventional oven.
I bought this oven after using one at a friend's house and loving it. it's a beautiful and functional design. The controls are intuitive and very simple to use. The options to bake, warm, air fry, toast, slow cook make this an amazingly versatile tool. I haven't turned on the regular over since this arrived. I wish I'd bought one years ago!
I bought my oven three years ago, and have absolutely loved it. It does everything from toasting bread to baking pizzas and air frying chicken and fries. It’s been my favorite toaster oven I’ve ever owned. How disappointed was I when it started acting up a week ago. The hinge on the door broke and now we have to be careful when opening it, otherwise it just flops open heavily onto the counter. As soon as the door broke, so did the timer/clock. Now there’s no way to program the cooking time, and I have to monitor the oven while it cooks to make sure it doesn’t just turn off after a couple of minutes (or keep cooking after the food is done). I’m very disappointed that such a great appliance, that I paid a lot of money for, stopped working properly in just three years. I really expected it to last longer!
