We were a little concerned that the BOV900 was a little too big to fit on our counter but we were wrong! It doesn't take up much room and it was well worth the purchase because the inside is plenty big enough to fit my 9x13 pan with extra room to spare. So far we have used this to bake, broil and oven fry with outstanding results. I only wish that it came with at least 2 oven fry trays. I've been waiting for the stock to be replenished so that I can purchase an extra one.
Researched heavily. This is the largest, most solid oven I found. Much larger interior than the Ninja or the Cuisinart. Tho the Cuisinart is rated higher in most surveys, it will not take a 13 inch round baking sheet, nor a 9 X 13 baking dish, which the Brevill does. Tho the cost is higher, this is a rare purchase which should last for years. The dispersion of heat in this unit is very uniform resulting in even cooking and doneness. The Air Fry basket is large and allows much greate quantities than the other units. In short, it is worth the extra money.
I love this oven, it has almost replaced my very high end oven. I have had issues with it not working properly after a year or so, but Breville has been very good at replacing it.
For years we've been using our full size wall ovens, cook top and a microwave for our cooking not realizing how much cooking technology has changed over the last few years. We recently purchased the Smart Oven Air to reduce our reliance on the wall ovens and microwave, and so far, its exceeded our expectations. We like the pre-programmed settings for cooking pizza and a variety of other foods with the oven size as just right for cooking a 13 inch pizza. We really like the Air-Fry feature for cooking frozen french fries which are cooked nice and crispy with no sogginess. Reduced cook time has also been a big benefit when compared to the wall ovens and the Smart Oven is easy to clean. Finally, there's no comparison between microwave cooking and the Smart Air in terms of cook quality. With few exceptions our Smart Oven Air is becoming our go to everyday oven.
I would recommend this to a friend!
