Best on Perplexity (avg #8.5), weakest on Gemini (#12.0)
Reviewers agree this is a large, well-built countertop oven that air fries, toasts, bakes, and roasts evenly enough to replace a full-sized oven for most daily cooking.
Owners love its versatile cooking performance and sleek design for everyday use, but durability issues and underwhelming air fryer results for oily foods divide satisfaction.
The marketing claims about cooking versatility and capacity are well-supported by reviews, and the super convection crispiness is genuinely praised. However, the pitch overstates air fryer performance—reviews show it excels at crispiness for some foods but delivers inconsistent results overall, particularly with oily foods. Critical durability and discoloration issues mentioned by owners undercut the premium positioning, and key claims about power efficiency, temperature evenness, and the app lack any review evidence.

About
What it is.
Breville's BOV900BSS positions the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro within the countertop convection segment, built around the brand's Element iQ system for directing heat across multiple cooking modes — air frying, toasting, baking, and roasting among them. Independent heating elements, digital PID temperature sensing, and fixed rack positions work together to manage even heat distribution rather than relying on a single element, with a stated capacity suited to family-scale batches. The companion Breville+ app extends the hardware with tested recipes and ingredient guides mapped to the oven's settings.
It's built for households replacing a full-sized oven's daily tasks with a single countertop unit, rather than those needing a compact, single-purpose toaster or fryer. As a flagship in Breville's lineup, it carries the brand's premium-appliance positioning alongside its multi-function claims.
The verdict
The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro ranks #1 for air fryer toaster ovens and handles air frying, baking, toasting, and reheating well enough to replace several standalone appliances, though its large footprint and inconsistent air fryer results on oily foods are genuine trade-offs that reviewers and buyers both acknowledge.

AI summary of 4 reviews · as of Jul 2026
Reviewers agree this is a large, well-built countertop oven that air fries, toasts, bakes, and roasts evenly enough to replace a full-sized oven for most daily cooking.
What they praise
- Even, fast air frying with a basket large enough for multiple servings
- Excellent toast results thanks to multiple heating elements
- Wide range of cooking functions (bake, roast, proof, dehydrate, slow cook) that genuinely work
- Fast preheating and even heat distribution compared to a standard oven
- Sturdy, premium-looking stainless steel build that holds up over years of use
What they knock
- Takes up significant counter space
- Bottom heating is less even than top heating, giving lighter color on the underside of toast
- Marketed speed-improvement claims are somewhat overstated according to one reviewer
- Many functions can feel overwhelming at first due to the sheer number of settings

What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect—air fryer capability—directly overlaps the video reviewers' concern about air frying performance, particularly with oily foods.
In their words
“We are very happy with our new Breville Toaster/Oven/Air Fryer! Yes it does it all. I use it far more than my built in wall oven. The accessories that came with it are great. Pizza, garlic bread, english muffins do very well. The basket air fryer works like a charm on fries, etc…I don’t use the air fryer for oily foods because I want it to stay cleaner than that.”

“This product is not worth the price tag & disappointing to see Breville making such a flawed product. I purchased the oven in the color white which quickly became discolored and is now an ugly stained yellow mess.”

Promise vs. proof.
We lifted Breville’s headline product-page claims and checked each against what owners and expert reviewers actually report.
The marketing claims about cooking versatility and capacity are well-supported by reviews, and the super convection crispiness is genuinely praised. However, the pitch overstates air fryer performance—reviews show it excels at crispiness for some foods but delivers inconsistent results overall, particularly with oily foods. Critical durability and discoloration issues mentioned by owners undercut the premium positioning, and key claims about power efficiency, temperature evenness, and the app lack any review evidence.
“Higher temperatures and super convection speeds up cooking time with great crispness”
Excellent crispiness, but inconsistent air fryer results
Reviews confirm super convection delivers exceptional crispiness for some foods, but air fryer capability scores only 3/5 overall and oily foods produce underwhelming results.
“Superior Air Frying: The SuperConvection setting delivers exceptional crispiness that outperforms traditional air fryers”
OwnerBarbara Bakes
Cooking Techniques“Smart algorithms replicate the ideal cooking environment for air fry and 10 additional cooking techniques”Holds up
Multiple reviews confirm the oven supports a wide range of cooking modes and techniques beyond basic toasting and air frying.
“of its wide range of cooking modes, the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer can do far more than just toast and cook frozen snacks”
OwnerGizmodo
Capacity“Oven Capacity: 0.8 cu ft”Holds up
The 0.8 cubic foot capacity is directly confirmed in expert reviews with specific examples of what fits.
“Capacity: 0.8 cubic feet (6 slices of toast, 13-inch pizza, a whole chicken, 9-cup muffin tray)”

Frequently asked
What buyers want to know.
What can the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro actually replace?
Reviewers confirm it handles air frying, baking, toasting, and reheating well enough to replace several standalone appliances. This makes it useful for home cooks who want one countertop unit instead of many.
How does the air frying performance compare to dedicated air fryers?
The air fryer basket is wide and produces consistently even, crispy results that can handle three to four servings in one load. Reviewers note it cooks faster than package instructions suggest, so you may need to pull food early to avoid overcooking. Chicken skin and other oily foods may need higher temperatures than…
What are the main drawbacks?
The unit has a large footprint that takes up significant counter space. Roast mode alone produces lighter, soggier skin compared to air fry mode. The convection fan cannot be used during toasting, which limits flexibility on that function.
Who is this oven best for?
It works best for home cooks who want a single appliance for daily toasting, air frying, baking, and reheating without using a full-sized oven. It is not ideal for anyone with limited counter space or who needs to cook large quantities for a crowd in one session.
What makes the Element IQ system useful?
It automatically adjusts heat and time, and compensates for cooking consecutive batches. The oven also saves your last-used time and temperature, so you do not have to reset these repeatedly.
Is the build quality durable?
Reviewers note the brushed stainless steel construction is sturdy and maintains clean aesthetics through years of daily use.
