I just LOVE my Breville. I stopped using my Viking range because the Breville cooks, bakes, roasts, etc. - it does everything better than my Viking range. It would be wonderful if Breville would come out with a full size range:-)
I was looking at purchasing the Ninja Oven XL as it I had their flip oven and found it not quite big enough for some of the things I wanted to make. In researching I came across the Smart Oven Air. While it was quite a bit more expensive and a little larger than the Oven XL, I decided it was a better option because I could use regular sized bakeware in it and they have a stellar reputation.
Let me say that this is the BEST small appliance I have! I have baked, broiled, air fried, roasted and toasted in and it has been wonderful!! Some have commented that the air frying was not so great, but I disagree. My best air fryer has been by Ninja Grill XL and my Smart Oven Air outperforms it.You just have to know not to crowd the tray and leave too much moisture on what you are frying. I highly recommend this product and look to many years of use!
This oven is amazing! I've had it for a little over 3 weeks now. I use it multiple times a day, and I've used all the settings except cookies, slow cook, and dehydrate; and all of the settings I have used have blown me away with how well they work. I am so so impressed with this purchase and would 1000% recommend others purchase. I bought it specifically because I'm a renter in a warm climate. Anytime I needed to use my oven in the summer months it was expensive because my AC was fighting to keep my kitchen cool. This puts out so much less heat and will definitely be a time and money saver in the long run.
To date, everything I have air fried, baked, broiled, re-warmed, or toasted has turned out to perfection!! The oven also has been very easy to learn to operate.
Love this, great for small batches so I don’t need to fire up the oven. However they state you can fit a 9 x 13 cake pan in Breville but it does have to be without handles. The only thing missing is a rotisserie, but wouldn’t use that anyway and it would probably eat up the interior space needed for bigger things I’m actually cooking.
