I have had a Breville Oven for many years and as one famous Food Network Chef once said he was, "fanatically dedicated" to his "Breville Toaster Oven" and so am I. I have never had a more satisfying appliance than this product. The supplied accessories were very well made, heavy duty stainless steer throughout. Two reversable wire racks for 8 different rack positions allows precise cooking/toasting at different locations according to the food being prepared. A 9"x13" roasting rack that fits into a 9"x13" roasting pan, a 13" pizza pan, a full size heavy duty stainless steel Air Fry/Dehydration basket and a front loading crumb tray that slides out very easily.
I had a well known air fryer, used it a few times and it went into a cabinet never to be used by us again. The capacity was poor, you had to open it up and "shake" the basket around to mix up the food so it would "fry" evenly. Not worth the effort and way too much hassle. I ended up giving it to a close friend who had mentioned they always wanted an air fryer, they used it a few times and they gave up too!
The Air Fryer portion of this oven has outperformed the other I had TEN-FOLD, as an air fryer, it's the best. And that's not the best thing about this oven. Frozen french fries almost never come out very good, but the Breville put out the best french fries we have ever had at home. Almost better than a famous fast food chain we have had them from before, almost, but not quite (pretty close though). The "Super Convection mode really moves the heated are around to give everything a nice crispness. Wouldn't recommend usinf it to fry chicken or anything greasy, it would make a real mess.
It has almost replaced our full size convection oven in the kitchen, we find it much more convenient and efficient to use it. You can read the description of its many functions, but I'll tell fou how they have worked for us. I have not received anything for writing this review, I just like the product so much, I want people to know how well it works and can make their lives a little better.
Toasting, how hard is that? Any device can toast, but I've never used a toaster that works as well at this one. The bread comes out nicely & especially evenly toasted on the outside and has a nice crunch, but the inside of the bread has a unique consistancy that is difficult to describe, you just have to try it. Of course that's just my opinion, it may be different for others. Bagel toasting has been perfected here, nice crunchy top (inside) and warm bottom (outside), uniformly toasted & the inside consistancy is perfect.
Roasting vegetables is so easy and they come out perfectly roasted. The BAKE function is probably the most used function, especially with convection on at normal setting. Just had a meatloaf last week and it was fully cooked and still juicy throughout. Everything else we made using the bake setting proved to be evenly cooked throughout and nothing was ever dried out. BROIL is not a function that we ever use, in this or the full size oven.
PIZZA is just the best, weather a packaged frozen pizza or a fresh pizza, it cooks better than anything I have ever used, even in the full size oven with a pizza stone. Cooking a pizza on the supplied pizza pan came out perfectly with a crisp crust and throughly cooked through right to the center, weather it was frozen (ise FROZEN & CONVECTION) or fresh (use only CONVECTION).
REHEAT is the only other function we have used so far and warming up leftovers is a breeze, it circulates the heat so evenly that food warms up perfectly throughout. This appliance has proven to be one of the most useful devices we have ever had throughout the years and no other device has ever cooked food so uniformly than the Breville Oven.

Worst appliance ever

The Smart Oven Pro is seriously flawed. I did air fryer Brussel sprouts today and recipe says 8-10 minutes at 400. It took 25 minutes and they still weren’t crispy or even done. I have found this to be true with almost all the functions.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Plastic smell

I have had my Breville Air Fryer Pro for over a year and it still emits a plastic smell when I cook anything it. I thought it would go away after a while or “burn” off but it’s still happening.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Oh my, I love this oven. My gas wall oven stopped working and was not repairable. Decided to go with this oven and I love it. It does everything and more way more. I converted the wall space into storage put my microwave in that space along with other items my countertop oven is on the countertop. It’s a dream. I give it 10 stars. Ty, Breville.

We bought this last month as a replacement for our 10 year old Breville oven that finally gave up ghost. What a difference. So many new features. Wife loves this thing! It eliminated 3 other counter top appliances. And it's quiet. Our old one was a great little oven, but the convection fan was annoying. This one, even on Super Convection, is very quiet compared to old one. So far so good with this oven.

I replaced my Gourmia air fryer & decided to get a smart oven with air fryer, and I am glad I did. I used the oven quite a bit & air fryer is nice and spacious. I am happy, hope it continues to perform well
