Great product but over time the door issues start

Posted by: Fred
I am on my second oven and it will be my last. The spring on the door broke and I had to use a paint stir to hold the door shut. Now my current oven door does not close all the way. This is how my last oven issue started. I am currently looking at other brands.
I have always been a Breville fan, but the cost of the oven and the door issues simply do not make it a good investment.
In todays economy I simply cannot afford to keep shelling out money for a new overnight every other year.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The smart oven air fryer pro Initially worked great, but after only 2 years it started having issues. The door when closing by default leaves an open gap, no longer fully closing without it being pushed. Even when the door is closed, the steam still seeps through the corners of the oven. Leaving stains all around that area. The heating has become unreliable, leaving my food cooked unevenly. I’ve had a Breville smart oven in a different model before this one and it worked great for many years. Wish I could say the same for this one, but unfortunately I can not. I spent so much money on this product and wished it would last me a longer time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought Breville Pro 2 months ago and just cooked chicken wings 4 times and I loved both so far. Just a bit hard to clean inside the Breville and wondering the flames come and go quickly when the door open for rotate remind.
Very impressed with this Oven. Love the way it cooks & air fries. The food comes out great. Still learning it's functions & how things work. It looks great on my counter. Glad I purchased it.
1. It undercooks what most recipes state timewise, so we are constantly having to extend the time, especially with the air fryer. 2. Toasting bagels varies based on who made the bagel, but we keep using a 6 or 7 setting (the highest ones) because it chronically "undertoasts". 3. Like the rack listing on the door (quite helpful), but it would be more helpful to have it for when you open the door and have a listing on the inside of the door for when you want to insert a rack, etc. 4. Control Panel is easy to use.
I am slightly disappointed so far with tis product; for the amount we paid I was hoping for better than just average. Maybe the more we use it the higher of a rating I will give, but I am comfortable giving an "average" rating. Because it is only average I would not recommend it to friends (based on the cost and rating).
We loved our air fryer. We had an issue with the door. Called Breville and they couldn’t have been more helpful. Our air fryer was fixed and returned looking like new. Super easy process and they updated us on status!! Great service!!!!
