Customer Reviews for Breville - Smart Oven Air Fryer, 0.8 Cubic Feet - Olive Tapenade

I bought the second from the top model because I didn’t need all its features. We took the air fryer oven with us on a Thanksgiving weekend RV trip. We prepared a scaled down Thanksgiving meal with a turkey breast and some of the usual side dishes.
What would normally take 1 1/2 hours in a standard oven only took an hour in the Breville air fryer oven on the roast setting. The turkey breast cooked perfectly with some crispy skin and juicy tender meat.
Using the air fryer oven for the turkey breast freed up the RV oven and stove top for all the side dishes. Everything was timed perfectly and completed at the same time, ready to eat.
We have since used the air fryer oven at home to prepare a freshly made pizza. Again, it turned out perfectly on the pre programmed pizza setting. I am hoping and expecting the unit to hold up well over time with repeated use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is my second Breville countertop smart oven. My daughter gave me my first one in 2010 for my birthday. It lasted over 10 years! My new one has even better features... especially Air Fry. I absolutely LOVE it! Great product... Great investment! I will NEVER buy a different brand!

It is better than expected! We replaced broken toaster and small air fryer with this. Does everything we wanted and more! We use it everyday for toasting, baking, broiling and air frying. And the pans are so easy to clean. Plus it looks great on our counter.

This Replaced My Full Size Oven
on January 5, 2023
Posted by: Staci
I recently bought the Smart Oven Air Fryer in Sea Salt to replace an old countertop convection oven/air fryer. You have to run the machine on the pizza setting before first use. Yes, you'll have a chemical smell due to off gassing (the release of harmful chemicals from new products), but that's not abnormal for a lot of household items (new mattresses, rugs, clothing, furniture, electronics, etc.). It's why the user manual says to run it empty the first time.
The machine is relatively quiet when in use (especially compared to my last one) and I've not had any type of noise when it's plugged in and not in use. The heat output isn't as much as my other machine either. Yes, the machine radiates heat when in use, but it doesn't push out as much hot air as my last machine, even running it at 450°. Pre-heating the Smart Oven doesn't take very long and it fits quite a bit of food, so it's totally replaced my full-size oven. It also cooks evenly. My last air fryer/convection oven ran hotter in the back right corner, so things placed there would burn before the rest of the dish was finished cooking.
The only downside is cleaning. Most of the machine is relatively easy to wipe out, but the housing/covering for the heating element on top is extremely hard to get at. What I think are heat tints formed after the first use and trying to clean it was a major pain in the butt. Overall though, it works really well and it looks great on my counter.

We bought the Breville Smart Oven in December 2023. To date we've used it as an air fryer and a convection oven, and it has performed perfectly in each instance. The controls for setting the oven mode (e.g. toast, bake, air fry, etc.), temperature, and cook time are very intuitive and easy to operate. The oven preheats quickly, and based on recipe cook times and temperatures, the temperature achieved is very accurate relative to the digital setting.

It is so smart with so many features. It is a real pleasure to use and doesn't heat up the kitchen like our wall oven,

beep volume control
on January 22, 2023
Posted by: Max
Love everything about this but the volume of the beep. I haven't found it in the manual for this model. Is there any way to adjust the volume on the beep for the oven?
