I bought this oven 2 years ago. I often used air fry, bake, and toast functions. Sometimes, I also use "proof" for the loaf I made. Daily, I use "bake" to warm up all family breakfast items, including bagels, porridge, and soy milk, once in 7 minutes to save electrical bills and my energy of preparation. It is definitely a space saver to have all 13 functions in one machine.
I’ve always loved Breville merchandise. I have a expression machine for years and I love it. This air fryer pro is a addition and we also love it. Cook perfectly what we put in it. Can’t beat it.
I bought this to replace two well loved air fryers. After doing lots of research and reading reviews, I landed on this or a Cuisinart version. I headed to the store to compare the two. The Breville was far more sturdy and felt like a much more quality product. I have had it a few weeks now and honestly love every single thing about it! It excelled at frozen entrees, garlic/butter toast, pizza (LOVE the pan!), muffins, and cookies. The reheat option left my food exactly like the day it was originally cooked. This is now one of my top kitchen appliances!
This counter top oven is exceptional. The inside cooking space is the largest I have seen in any oven of this type. The features work as stated. I’ve tried them all. I use it for everything and rarely use my gas oven any more. You cannot go wrong with this oven and will enjoy it every time you use it for baking, toasting, roasting, air frying and more. The multi-rack feature is great. The pizza setting is perfect, varying convection levels is wonderful. I can’t say enough positive things about this smart oven. Great product.
We bought our first oven about5 years ago. It has been great...bakes a little hot, but great. Bought a second one and a replacement Breville microwave about 2 years ago...and it has been nothing but problems. Microwave was defective and we had to return. Oven buttons dont work (celcius to farenheit), heat is very uneven and it runs very cool. Unfortunately we didnt use it for anything but proofing at first, so never noticed. Seems like Breville quality is going downhill. So disappointing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is my first “smart oven” and I’m so enjoying learning how to use it! Just turn 2 dials and press a button...perfectly cooked meal. Wish I had bought it sooner!
After much research, I bit the bullet, spent the money and bought the Breville Smart Oven AF Pro. And love it! I am so happy to have a convection oven now. And love the countertop size for most items! It is so handy when I do not want to run the wall oven. And could easily move to garage or covered deck for hot summer days! It is very well built, and so far, no issues with it.
Had it for a couple months now and it works great. Only thing that kept it from a 5 star review is the large gap in the door to the body. I contacted the company and they assured me that it was designed that way. There is an excessive amount of heat lost through that gap. It does the job but takes longer than last air fryer we had.
