I’m using it everyday for everything: reheating, toasting, baking and of course air frying. It’s super fast in comparison to regular oven, and food comes out much tastier. I love the variety of functions and changeable settings.
The perfect oven. I don't use my full sized oven anymore. This machine is the best all in one out there and saves me so much counter space. It is the best toaster I have used, a fantastic air fryer, and the perfect oven for meals for 2. Customer service is amazing. Breville gave me a completely new oven after my heating elements were damaged in shipping. This is one of the best kitchen investments.
Exactly what I wanted in an air fryer/toaster oven.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great little oven

I bought my oven in 2017 and have not no issues with it. I tried the air fryer once and found that baking the chicken wings at 400 works just as well as the air fryer and I use the roaster pan with the rack so the drippings fall into the roaster pan. I do find that when I bake, such as bread, I have to turn down the oven (for example: no-knead bread @ 450 for 45-50 minutes) to 435 and 45 minutes. I just recently tried an angel food cake (box mix) and even at the 350 it was done in about 15 minutes instead of the 35-40 minutes and of course the top was "burnt". I have done a prime rib (3 lb), turkey (13 lb), and a turkey breast (8 lb), casseroles, cookies, pies, etc, with just using the bake setting (mainly what I use) and they have come out great! Since I purchased this 3 yrs ago, I haven't used my stove oven and it has helped to keep my kitchen from heating up especially during the Texas summers even with the A/C on. I use this oven exclusively.
My biggest complaint is trying to clean this! I have been remiss in cleaning it every time I use it (my bad), and the build up is horrible to try to get cleaned. I've tried everything short of a "power washer" to clean the walls. :) I do have an oven liner on the tray along with aluminum foil to keep majority of drippings and overflow that can happen easier to clean up. I also agree that trying to clean the rails where the heating elements are, both top and bottom, are completely a waste of time to try to clean because they don't...at least I've not been able to clean them.
I do agree with others that the top of the oven gets extremely hot, so I've put a silicone rack on top to keep myself from touching it. I would not put a cutting board on top as it would dry out the board real quick if it was left on the top while the oven was in use. A long cooling rack might work...may have to try that. I have my oven on my counter next to the stove and I do not have cabinets above, but it still generates a lot of heat.
I was going to get a new one since I'm not sure how long this one will last; but because there are a lot of complaints about defective parts on the newer models I may not consider it...especially since this is an expensive oven.
Would I recommend to a friend...probably but with caution only because of the issues quite a few reviewers are currently having.
