I looked at the multitude of options for a new oven. The choices were many, but the feedback from a few friends who had purchased (or been gifted) a Breville made this an easy decision. A decision that I'm glad I made. The simplicity of operations is a key feature. No need for an advanced degree in programming here. I've used almost every function (no dehydration yet) and the results have been excellent. I particularly like the air fry and broil functions. I recently broiled fresh swordfish and it was the best I've ever cooked; and I've baked a few cakes and make cookies all the time.. Another note is that I had the misfortune of getting an oven that had a problem with its preheat function. With no difficulty I contacted Breville and they replace the entire oven - without hesitation in just a few days. Big Kudos to the customer service team. 100% customer care. Without reserve or hesitation - this is a great addition to any kitchen. I haven't had to turn on my big oven in months.
I purchased this oven for the complete set of options, some of which I did not envision using. The first one shipped did not work properly out of the box and Breville was very responsive in replacing it. I have used the bake, proof, air fry, toast options and have been pleased.
While this may seem insignificant, the finger pull on the plugs of Breville products is amazing. Such a small design issue, but so convenient for removing plugs from outlets.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Still figuring out all that this does, but it just does everything flawlessly so far. Not much bigger footprint than the cuisinart we had for many years. Would definitely recommend.
This oven has saved my sanity. No more waiting 20-30 minutes for the big oven to preheat and turning things halfway through. Had to adjust for totally convection, but I’ve baked lasagna, chicken pot pie, roasted veggies and it makes great toast. Go for it!
I shopped around looking for an appliance that did everything and I found it with the Smart Over Air. I reviewed other brands but always came back to the Breville. I have now used the Roast, Bake, Air Fry and Slow Cook functions to date and everything has gone well. While the oven costs a lot it appears to be worth the money. Excellent product.
