“I got the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro with “super convection” and it’s amazing. I use it as an air fryer, toaster oven, and honestly never even use my regular oven if I can help it. It’s expensive and huge on my counter but I love it”
“The small mesh is perfect, without having to use tray liners.”
“Paid $400 for Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro, Brushed Stainless Steel, BOV900BSS 5 years ago and still works like a champ still. Totally worth every penny.”

“I ve had 3 and didn’t last more than 3 years”
“I bought the breville smart oven air fryer pro just before Thanksgiving and I’m quite happy with it. I replaced a toaster and an air fryer. It’s slow as a toaster but that’s my only complaint so far.”
“Our Breville is 8 yrs old and the liner pan looks practically brand new.”
“Breville smart oven air fryer pro used on Air Fry setting has consistently taken me 5 minutes to preheat. I've timed it with stopwatch app. When I use it, I have to set the time to an amount much higher than necessary and use a separate timer.”
“This has been my only oven for many months, and it has done everything perfectly.”
“I use it more often than I thought I would, especially for baking and reheating pizza (it actually stays crispy). But yeah, it’s on the pricier side, and it takes up a chunk of space, which might not work for smaller kitchens.”
“It’s not a pro. It does a lot of things, none of them well. Biggest waste of $400 bucks.”
“the oven is THAT good.”
“The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is pretty good at all of its functions EXCEPT toasting bread, which it does adequately at best.”

“It's my favorite piece of kitchen gear. Use it almost every day, and have zero complaints”
“We have had the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro since 2019 and it's still working like new. It gets used as an oven for anything that will fit inside, pies, cakes, pizza, vegetable, etc. It's big, but still too small for whole chickens”
“I ended up just getting the breville smart oven air fryer pro and use it as my oven, toaster, and air fryer. I’ll admit though that it doesn’t air fry to a crisp as well as my previous basket style air fryer, but I’m ok with it to convert to stainless steel.”
“This is the most confusing and stupidest design ever. Like a bunch of engineers made all this and made the toaster keep the light on but didn’t think of the timer starting properly?”
“I got the breville smart oven air fryer pro and we use it much more often than the actual oven.”
“I'm pretty unhappy with mine overall- doesn't cook evenly, does a poor job air frying (which is apparently because it's just too large), and it is absolutely impossible to clean.”
“I am very happy with mine.”
“I upgraded from a basic basket air fryer to a Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro. Honestly, the basic air fryer did a better job. Preheated faster and got fries and hash browns crispier. Smart Oven has more capacity, and is overall more useful. Just not quite as good at air frying.”
