We're on our second one.
Bought the first one in 2016. Probably around 2019-2020 the convection fan stopped working.
Bought a new one in September 2022, and the fan has stopped working on it as well, probably 5 months ago.
They don't offer a replacement motor. It would be a simple fix if they did. Can't source the motor anywhere else, I've tried.
We're deciding now if we want to keep using it with no convection or try another brand.
2x M3 Nylock nuts
2x M3x18 Machine screws
2x M5 Fender Washers
1x 3/8x11/64x1/8 Nylon Washer Part# 59550-B
Aside from opening the shell of the oven by removing the T10 and P2 screws, unscrew the switch bracket from inside the lower left of the oven - 2 black screws in-between the heating elements - and replace the brass rivets with the M3 screws and nuts. Unscrew the nylon guide roller from the door track and inspect it for wear. It will be unevenly worn down from its original ~10mm diameter. Drill the replacement nylon washer shaft up one size (I think it was to 3/16") to fit the screw you removed, and sandwich it between the two fender washers when screwing back on so the washers sit outside the door track and mimics the original shoulder washer. Buy more nylon washers for when it wears through again.
Also, love mine and often use it as a primary oven. One of my favorite features is setting it for a specific time so it turns off automatically after x minutes. My oven does have a way to do this but it is more complicated so I just don't use the feature.

Also the airfry pan is just a basket with an open bottom meaning that drippings will get all over the heating coil on the bottom (there are coils on the bottom and top, while the fan is on the side). I couldn't immediately find a pan to use as a drip tray in the size needed (i think 12x16) so the work around is to use parchment paper in the basket. I immediately bought a pack of 100 precut at 11x13. This will prevent the drippings onto coils but it prob won't airfry as good since the paper will partially block the heat being circulated from the bottom. (obviously it won't block the heat itself, but it will block the heat being blown around in the air fryer mode)
If you want to crisp things up and cook small amounts of food quickly, I would get an actual air fryer — they are smaller in capacity and basically heat up much faster than this and also is closer to your food so the food gets crisp quicker. It's why if you follow "air fryer" instructions, you will NOT get the results you want.
HOWEVER, if you want a more versatile appliance that you can bake anything you can throw at it — whole chickens, cakes, prime rib, etc etc. this breville is for you. I've owned a reallllllly old version of this for over fifteen years (yes it has lasted that long) and it has basically replaced my oven. Also, I've "air fried" before air fryers ever became a thing — convection ovens have done this forever. It just is t as quick as a smaller, dedicated "air fryer" they sell these days.
HOWEVER, I don't recommend that if you're vegan.

As mentioned by others, drippings onto the heating element during air frying creates a lot of smoke. I use a baking sheet as a drip pan to help with this. However, I would say it works very well as an air fryer, but you do need to use higher temperatures than instructed sometimes.
The noisy part of our fan seems to be one of the shaft bearings. I suspect they're quite cheap bearings. The outer portion of the fan, which has a second fan/impeller to cool the electronics, was also slightly wobbly. I was able to carefully bend the tines a bit to align things better. It's not as noisy now, but it's not silent, either.
Overall, do NOT expect these units to get serviced by Breville. I imagine they assume it'll be too pricey for people to ship units back for warranty inspections and they'll just avoid dealing with issues through customer service. Customer service will either send back a new/refurb unit to replace the faulty one, or customers will eat the cost and buy another unit.
Knowing what I know now, I won't be buying another Smart Oven.
That's just one of several repairs the oven has required. It recently developed what appears to be the problem shown in the video here [reddit.com]. It still works most of the time but randomly goes nuts. I don't know if I have the patience to take it apart again to try to fix it. Parts have become virtually unobtainable anyway.
I doubt I'll ever buy another Breville product.
It isn't as fast air frying as a dedicated air fryer would be. But still faster than an oven and food gets nice and crispy. I hate dedicated use counter top appliances since they take up so much space so this is a great all-in-one for us.
