What Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro owners say

“I had forgotten how useful this thing was and is. The toast and bake function alone will keep you from having to heat the whole house just to warm a snack. Totally worth the coin.”
— @James-vt4vs on YouTube
“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”
— ThisMachineKILLS on Reddit
“The cleaning issue I mentioned is SO real 😢I spent hours trying different methods and products.”
— @JuliaCaban on YouTube

What Philips Premium XXL Airfryer owners say

“You can also use manual settings on the ‘sensor’ machine. I love mine”
— @frans3474 on YouTube
“I went ahead and bought the smart sensing model, but I don't regret my choice at all as I only use the sensing feature and have yet to use manual. Best purchase I ever made.”
— @williamgraham5630 on YouTube
“I’ve been using mine for about a year and I don’t have that issue yet, but my basket stays sticky even after soaking and cleaning it.. It doesn’t feel clean but I can’t do more than what I’m already doing.”
