I do. I think its a good microwave. But not a great oven or airfryer. It does bake and the airfryer does work well enough. I like it cause my kitchen is super small so i had to pick microwave or countertop toaster oven and this gave me a bit of all the options.
I'm trying to decide between the combi wave and air fry pro. It will be used in my van where space is important and there is no oven. Since there is no oven I think I'm prioritizing cooking ability over the reheating ability. How much worse is the combi wave at air frying / baking?

These are at best backup units for air frying - imagine a decent little oven and a microwave unit - if you're in a van, this has the be the way to go.
I saw the other thread for the Joule version in brushed black stainless steal, but $449 feels like overkill and probably is since this would be my first multi purpose unit like this.
As a note, I am unlikely to use the air fry function much at all. I prefer the basket style and will have a cheap one as a companion to whichever Breville I may pick up.
as an owner of the previous generation of BOV845BSS, I would say this is the best bang for your buck. most households already have a dedicated air fryer (preferably basket style) which works way better for larger quantities and are a lot cheaper to replace vs a breville toaster oven setup.
we do everything in ours since they fit all standard frozen pizzas. they bake cookies really well to boot. we make all of our toast in it as well and have since gotten rid of our standard toaster to save space. we spent ~$5k on a brand new fisker oven right after we got our breville and when cooking for just the two of us, the breville can get 95% of the jobs done (even did a roasted spatchcock chicken in ours).

I have the combi wave. The air fry is horrible. I love the oven and microwave though. Anything i want to "air fry", i just use oven setting and its great.
I had been eyeing the BOV900BSS for about a year waiting for the price to drop. Bought it last week when the price was the same as it is now. It's only been a week, but I freakin love this thing. It replaced a 15 year old Cuisinart Toaster Oven, which was great and for the most part still working fine. Wanted something with an air-fryer feature.

I saw one in Marshall's for $199 last month, too bad our current Smart Oven Pro (non air fryer version) is still going strong or would have picked it up.
Thing is massive, though!
I only use our regular oven now for things like slow cooking Boston butts, or huge pans of nachos…literally everything else (and I cook and bake a lot for family of five) gets cooked in the "Smart"🙄😆 oven. I love it.

And how is the air fryer? That will be my main use but reading about the air fryer from others has me apprehensive
I have the mini…. I'm a bit disappointed to see it hasn't changed at all in 8 years since I got mine. That said, it has worked reliably for those 8 years. Only now it seems the buttons are hit or miss response wise but it still works fine
