Cooking at home more than ever. Everything fits in the 900 (French Oven, 12" cast iron) and trying new things (dehydrating, proofing, phase cooking, ...)
I have owned the earlier model of the Breville Smart Oven for many years...and as a chef (research & development) it has served me flawlessly.
All functions work as promised - precision control - even cooking - always consistent - and in a small footprint which helps in a cluttered work environment.
Now that the unit has been upgraded to incorporate the air frying cooking methodology...the oven is near perfection. All modes can be accessed with an easy to use interface - tweaking is instantaneous - cleaning is minimal - and the unit is robust.
Every home should turn off their giant conventional stove and swap out to the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro!
This was my second Breville toaster oven. The first toaster oven not an air fryer lasted my family two years. I felt this was reasonable given the amount of use. But the Breville toaster oven air fryer only lasted seven months. It has errored out with an E6 which per thepuser manual states it is a unrecoverable error and to contact support. But support states too bad, no recourse. I love the toaster oven when it was working, but I cannot justify buying a new toaster every 7 months.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love my Breville oven .. I use every single function almost daily I haven’t even used my big oven since I got Breville.. worth every penny and customer service is amazing.. my favorite feature is dehydrate !! Never thought how useful that is I make dry herbs, dry bread for crumbs, cake rusk, fruit snacks you name it definitely recommend
Our kids bought us the breville for the holiday and we LOVE IT! We’ve previously had the Breville toaster oven but it was not functioning properly. So I mentioned it to our kids and they were lovely enough to get it for us.
The smart oven is definitely an upgrade. I’ve used many of the features: air fryer; toasting; bagels; roasting and reheating. All do a great job.
Since it’s just my hubby and I most of the time, I like to use the Breville instead of my large oven. It’s perfect for most things that I cook.
I really enjoy this product and would recommend it!
I previously owned the Smart oven countertop model and liked it very much. I wanted a larger oven to use my 9X13 pans with handles and this oven does that. It is easy to use and has super convection & air fry features along with slow cook. Even though it takes up a little more counter space, all the features make it worth it.
