Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is a large countertop all in one oven that shines at toasting, baking, broiling, reheating, dehydrating, and air frying. The convection and super convection modes deliver crispier fries and wings, the interior light and adjustable tray positions make it easy to monitor food, and the roomy capacity can replace a full size oven for everyday cooking. The main tradeoff is footprint, since it needs real counter space and ventilation, and the air fryer mode can take a little practice. A strong fit if you want one appliance to do most kitchen jobs.
home cooks who want to replace their regular oven for everyday baking/toasting/broiling and also use air-frying and dehydrating, because commenters say they use it daily and only fire up the big oven a handful of times (and that the controls go very low for food preservation).
buyers who have enough counter space to accommodate a large venting countertop appliance, because commenters advise measuring/assessing counter space and note it's a big unit that needs room to vent.
people with limited counter space who still want an air-fryer-style countertop option, because commenters say it's a good unit for folks who don't have a ton of counter space.
households that plan to use multiple modes (bake/broil/air fry/dehydrate) rather than just basic baking, because one commenter recommends it specifically if you'll use several of the modes and says to get a cheaper unit if you only need baking as a toaster/smaller oven.
buyers who want to air-fry foods like fries and wings and care about crisping, because commenters say air frying makes things a tad crispier and is good for fries and wings.
people who want a countertop oven with strong air-fry features like convection/super convection, adjustable tray heights, and an oven light to watch food, because commenters describe those exact capabilities and say it performs extremely well (with only a possible longer heat-up tradeoff due to size).
buyers who have done research on replacement parts and add-ons and want a long-lasting all-in-one air-fry/toaster-oven setup, because one commenter chose this after comparing options and cited BPA-free racks/parts availability, compatible add-ons, a temperature probe, and 100+ presets.
people who want to use it mainly for reheating and everyday toaster-oven tasks (not full baking), because one commenter says they have no use for the oven functionality but would use the toaster/air-fry features.
buyers who don't have the counter space for a large venting countertop appliance, because commenters warn it's a large unit that needs space to vent and that the bigger model can be too big for some countertops.
people expecting easy cleanup of the air-fryer basket/racks, because one commenter says the wire basket is very hard to clean and another describes grease getting trapped in non-dishwasher racks that require scrubbing.
people who only need basic baking as a toaster/smaller oven, because a commenter says if you only need baking as a toaster/smaller oven then you should get a cheaper unit.
buyers who are sensitive to temperature accuracy and want it to hit target temps exactly, because one commenter reports it runs slightly below the target temperature (confirmed with an external thermometer).
people who want simple, reliable knob operation long-term, because a commenter warns the knob may not properly work after a few years and may take many tries for both oven modes to behave as desired.
shoppers who feel $300 is a hard ceiling and want strong value versus cheaper alternatives, because one commenter says they don't hate it but don't think it's worth $300 compared with a less expensive Cuisinart.
buyers who don't need air-fryer capability at all, because one commenter notes that if you don't need the air fryer capability, a non-air-fryer version is on sale for less.
For many households, yes. Its large capacity and multiple modes make it suitable for baking, broiling, toasting, air frying, and dehydrating, and some owners rarely use their full-size oven anymore.
Yes. It is a large countertop appliance that needs room to vent, so measuring your counter before buying is important. It can replace a regular oven for many meals, but the footprint is bigger than smaller toaster ovens.
The air-fry mode works well and mainly adds extra crispness, especially for fries and wings. It may take a little time to learn the settings, but the convection and super-convection modes are the air frying function.
The crumb tray at the bottom helps catch debris, but the wire basket and racks can be hard to clean after greasy foods. The larger interior also makes it easier to avoid the heating elements when wiping it down.
It can last for years with daily use, and replacement parts like springs are available if something breaks. Some units may develop knob issues after a few years, but long-term owners still describe it as a durable workhorse.

If you don't need the air fryer capability, this version of the Breville countertop oven is on sale for $216. We have it and love it.
(Last year's xmas season, it dropped to $200...no telling if it will again!)

Have the air fryer version. Save money and get the non air fryer type
I don't know. It took a bit to figure out the air fryer part, but it's pretty good... And for folks who don't have a ton of counter space this is a good unit.
Any experience with this vs other air fryers? I had the large cuisinart one for about 10 years. Still works but it's a PITA to clean. The racks hold the grease from chicken tenders and nuggets, and doesn't come off in the dishwasher/scrubbing.I picked up the ninja foodi 10qt this morning but always wanted this Breville. I have no use for the oven functionality, but would use the toaster if it is good. For larger dishes, we have a wolf range, wolf steam/convection oven, and wolf speed oven. So I really don't need it for the baking capability. But I liked the size of the cuisinart for reheating pizza. Not sure how the ninja will work for that.

Only tried some random cheap air fryer before this. And had some sort of toaster oven way back, maybe same brand or something. This Pro model has convection and super convection. That's the air frying. It has multiple tray options. And you can turn the light on and see the food sizzling. You can adjust the tray levels height. And put multiple trays of course. The food crumbs collect at the bottom which it seems slides out or whatever. It should probably be possible to clean the sides and top and avoid the heating elements. It's just a really good toaster oven and as far as I know it compares well with any air fryers. Not sure if since it's larger than some it might take a couple extra minutes to heat up I guess. Not sure. Might be some tradeoff like that but generally it does extremely well I'd say.

I bought an air fryer the last Prime Days and I opted to go with the Nuwave Bravo XL Air Fryer/Grill. The unit itself and all the racks, etc. are BPA-free, Nuwave sells replacement parts, and compatible add-ons like pizza stones that will fit. Has a temperature probe and 100+ presets. After doing the research it seemed like the clear choice for my situation. I can see this unit lasting me a very long time.

For those without a lot of counter space, take a trip to Williams Sonoma if you have one nearby. This is a large countertop appliance and needs space to vent, taking a close look should help gauge if you have enough space. They too carry for the same price so you can take it home right away, and are way easier to deal with if you need to return.
This unit is the single best kitchen upgrade I've made in the past 10 years. I use it daily. The capacity is so big that I've only needed to fire up my large oven about 3 times since getting it. I also use the dehydrate function all the time. It has such precise controls and can go so low that it's upped my food preservation game quite a bit. Highly recommend it if you'll use several of the modes (bake, broil, air fry, and dehydrate, etc...). If you only need baking as a toaster/smaller oven then get a cheaper unit.

I've had mine for years and if it broke I would buy it again at retail price. This thing is used daily in my household. Baking, toasting, broiling, air frying, dehydrating.
Now it's definitely a big unit and you need the counter space, but we bake 90% of our meals in this and not the regular oven.

A smaller version Breville BOV860 is on sale too for $279.95: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B3SHYNBG. I picked this one after measuring my countertop because BOV900 is just too big for us.
A bonus is that you can pick one of many colors.
