Breville - Smart Oven® Air Fryer BOV860

Second this. Mine exactly fits a 9x13 pan with handles, which is perfect. However it is not very good at making toast, so don't replace your toaster. However I have heard mixed reliability; I don't expect it to last "for life" but barring a lemon, it would definitely last more than a year. Mine is three or four years old, used at least five times a week, and still doing fine.

Second Breville - I have the Smart Oven Air and it excels and everything.

Another vote for Breville. Have one of the smart ovens, and it's been used daily (sometimes multiple times a day) for a little over a year now without issue. It's been flawless. It's so good that my full size oven is rarely used.

Yup 100%. We use it almost everyday instead of a traditional oven as a traditional oven takes a long time to heat up. If I had a do-over I'd get the larger Breville unit. Also we don't have a microwave. I just huck stuff in the Breville and set the timer and forget it. I've never done much raw stuff in it other than to roast vegetables. But works great for that as well.

Breville and I have had the Ninja. Breville can be a mini oven, proof bread, toast, broil, airfry. It is much easier to clean too.

Because they will airfry, but they will also do everything a big oven can in terms of baking, roasting, broiling, etc. Some of them even have features such as keep warm and dehydrate. Since I purchased my Breville unit, I rarely use my full size oven unless I need to do something really large (Ie a turkey).

I love my Breville Smart oven, very versatile. A bit painful to clean.

A high end countertop (toaster) oven with airfry function (eg Breville smart oven) will be.FAR more versatile for you.

FYI, the Breville Smart Ovens aren't very good air fryers. At least the larger ones aren't. But as an oven they're top notch. I literally have not used my regular oven in over a decade because the smart oven I have is all I need.

I've owned the Breville Smart oven. Air fryers in general are toaster ovens and a lot more. With the toaster oven versions you get the best of both worlds. The Breville if it's got a pizza setting used to love it for making homemade pizzas and frozen pizzas. I replaced my Breville for a Anova steamer oven which I hardly never use the Steam function lol. Anyway it's a good air fryer oven your family member got you well worth every penny

Agree with this brand. Had a Cuisinart for years from Costco and the dials never worked correctly. Switched a year ago to Breville and it's been great. We toast bread almost daily, my husband proofs his bread with it, kids can use it easily for snack foods, and it great for side veggies with dinner. We are a family of 5, so needed larger size and multifunction.

I'm in the same boat and btw, Amazon has that Cosori in black for $10 less. I have had the Breville for about 7 years and it's an incredible oven and toaster. It's above average air frying fries, nuggets and dry things, but is awful for wet (like marinated food) or fatty (wings, burgers, chops...) food. The issue is the heating element is also on the bottom and grease just gets all over it. Their mesh basket also sucks to clean.

Breville Air Fryer Toaster Oven

We went with the smaller Breville Smart Air fryer Toaster Oven-just the right size for our smaller kitchen-I hardly ever microwave anything. If I make soup or stew and have leftovers I pop them in the fridge in the dutch oven and reheat on the stovetop.

I've loved the breville air fryer/oven combo. Toast perfectly bagels vs waffles/toast. And you can fit a whole roaster chicken extremely- it keeps it extremely juicy

OP, I've been down this rabbit hole. Just know that the Breville smart ovens are nice products, but they're jacks of all trades but masters of none. It is a worse air fryer than just about any standalone air fryer and worse toaster than a normal toaster. If you are satisfied with your ability to roast and toast with existing equipment, but want to add the ability to air fry, get a single purpose air fryer. It'll likely cost less too.

I have a Breville smartoven with air-fry function. It gets 90% of the air frying results, but can do far more other things, like bake, roast, dehydrate, broil...

Congrats on considering an upgrade! The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer is a fantastic choice - the stainless steel finish does give it a sleek, high-end look. How's the performance so far?

This is the answer. My breville has over taken my oven. Unless I'm roasting a Turkey there isn't much that I do in the oven any more.

Eight minutes and turn it to the darkest setting! 🤣

I agree with the above commenter! I have a Breville Smart Oven and we have been using it for 3 years now almost daily. As a bonus it saves money and time vs having to heat a larger oven. https://www.breville.com/en-us/shop/ovens

I absolutely adore my Breville Smart. It has replaced my oven. However, I do use the basket style air fryers for air frying. Far superior results for actual air frying. The Breville can do a good job of air frying, but because you have to protect the elements the heat can't get to the food properly. If you don't put something underneath a drippy food it's a really bad scene.

There have been many posts searching for a "non-toxic" air fryer. Don't really understand it. I am extremely chemically sensitive but I have absolutely no problem with teflon coatings. Haven't seen any posts about health issues with teflon with their air fryer other than the obvious ones such as the coating failing. Top reviewed fryer is the Instant Pot Vortex Plus 6QT. It is relatively cheaply made so the LCD display is failing but I can still use it. Double baskets have limitations. The Breville oven style is a high quality expensive product but not as good at air frying.

We currently have a Breville countertop oven that we inherited from a relative. It's a great appliance, had it 4+ years now with no problems and it does a bunch of stuff besides air frying, but it's also pretty expensive. Before that we were happy with our Power XL oven-style air fryer. I always advise people to get the air fryers with shelves rather than with baskets because they are more versatile and easier to load and clean.

I've been gradually switching most of my appliances to Breville because I really like the brand's quality and having matching pieces at home. The Smart Oven Air Fryer, which is 30% larger than the Smart Oven Pro, would be my pick. I found a great resource on another subreddit where you can [compare the specs of different air fryers](https://www.reddit.com/user/No-Competition-5766/comments/1i5jdq2/air_fryer_models_comparison_spreadsheet/). Worth checking it out when comparing options.

I have the Breville, it has air fryer baskets that can also be used for dehydrating. It's a very useful appliance. ATK rated it the best toaster oven/air fryer combo.

We leave things on top that don't get hot like a metal cooking tong to pull things out after cooking, an air fryer basket when not in use -- so I don't think it would be an issue.

I have a number of Breville products. They are very high quality and I assume their combo oven/fryer is the same. Combo ovens do not do as good a job as dedicated air fryers. Personally I got the top rated, unfortunately cheaply made, air fryer. Wanted a good one and I will replace it when needed.

I just bought a Breville Smart Oven & I absolutely love it! It does lots of things including air frying & slow cooking.

I have had a Breville Smart Oven Air for 6 years and owned the predecessor Breville Smart Oven for \~7 years prior to that. The reason I had 2 of them is the 1st broke and was un-repairable (believe me, I tried). The Smart Oven Air is an amazing oven. I use it 90% of the time over my Viking oven (which is also great, but takes \~20 minutes to preheat). However, as an airfryer, the Breville is limited. You cannot do high fat products (like wings or ribs or burgers without all of the grease falling directly onto the heating element. Same thing for liquid marinated food (e.g. chicken). Even air fried broccoli leaves little burnt bits on the heating element. Also, the grate is a PIA to clean and I just keep it dirty. It's an amazing oven and does everything extremely well, aside from air frying (where it's a solid B-).

Adquiri o Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer, e ele não apenas funciona perfeitamente, mas também dá à minha bancada um visual sofisticado e contemporâneo, com seu acabamento em inox. Ainda não experimentei todas as opções, mas já ouvi ótimos comentários sobre os modelos da Ninja e da Cosori também.

I absolutely love mine! Mine is garbage for toasting, but amazing for anything else from air frying to plain baking. It's very handy to basically have a second small oven.

I have the breville smart oven air, it's not a great airfryer. But it's so much more versatile. I use mine for making bacon in the morning, roasting vegetables, I've even put my entire 7qt Dutch oven in there and slow cooked carnitas and made caramelized onions. Cooking frozen pizza works nicely as well. We've also made beef jerky in there and char sui too. It's also great as a warmer to hot hold things like when I smoke a brisket.

I bought a Breville toaster oven that is also an air fryer and love it. It even comes with a proofing option for bread. A+

I have the breville smart oven and I concur. It's a great second oven especially during the holidays or summer heat (I keep it in our attached garage) but every time I "air fry" something I always think this cannot be it. Then I purchased a ninja flip air fryer/oven for our place Up north and that was much better but still have the same thought it cannot be true. Now I'm considering the Ninja Crisp for the house. What do you think of that model?

It is a smaller oven that takes up bench space ... but it's so much easier to throw something in, set program, timer, and temperature, and just wait for the BEEEEP that tells you that dinner's ready. It's small, so more energy efficient. My "avoid anything cooking-adjacent apart from the washing up" husband will happily use it for simple stuff. And also, it's easier to clean. The whole base of mine just slides out and goes in the dishwasher. I only really use my main oven if I'm cooking for more than just two now. I have one of these - [https://www.sageappliances.com/en-gb/product/bov860](https://www.sageappliances.com/en-gb/product/bov860) \- and I love it so, so much.
