I purchased this an upgrade to a small older model toaster oven. I’m very happy with my bigger, more functions smart oven. Functions we frequently use are toast, bake, air fry, bagel and keep warm. Breville makes high quality reliable small kitchen appliances that you will get many years use from.
The Smart Oven Air Fryer is the ideal oven. Toast and bagels are toasted to perfection. French fries are cooked evenly with a light crisp. Pizza is perfect. Highly recommend this oven for couples.
This is my second Breville Smart Oven. The first one I purchased at least 10 years ago and it was a champ all these years. When I saw Breville was making a smart oven with an air fryer, I couldn't wait to get one. To be honest, I haven't used the air fryer function yet but hope to do so very soon.
It is as wonderful as I’ve come to expect from Breville (also have the Nespresso coffee maker and two, count ‘em) TWO waffle makers. If it’s an appliance I need and if Breville makes it, that’s all the research I need. As for the Smart Oven Air Fryer, I’m still trying out all the many features. The air fryer part works better and faster than the stand-alone air fryer I had. That one is getting donated. The baking and and reheating mode are wonderful. Cleanup is vastly easier than my old toaster oven (already donated). Best of all, it is a cinch to operate. I don’t need a flashlight to set the dials and read the screen. I could not be happier unless it made my pizza dough for me!
Breville Smart oven is easy to use and clean. I put foil on tray to catch grease when air frying, works great. I am a single person household and it works for all my food. Learned to make fresh pizza using their pizza pan, comes out perfect. Also love air frying my vegetables
