Critics & buyers

What reviewers say
Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?
Reviewers praise
- Large interior capacity accepts full-size baking trays and accommodates multi-rack cooking simultaneously
- Super convection air fry function cooks food faster and more evenly than conventional toaster ovens, with reviewers noting no hot spots
- 13 cooking functions — including air fry, dehydrate, slow cook, proof, broil, and phase cook — cover a wide range of cooking tasks
Reviewers push back
- Large physical footprint demands significant counter space and is heavy to move
- Timer dial is imprecise — turning it slowly causes it to jump to the next minute and begin counting down before you intend
- Auto-eject rack feature only functions on one specific rack level, which can catch users off guard
Reviewers broadly agree the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is a capable, well-built countertop oven that earns its counter space through versatile cooking functions and consistently even results.
Reviewers differ on how easy the oven is to keep clean — one found the glass stayed remarkably clean with minimal effort, while another noted it gets noticeably dirty with regular use and requires monthly scrubbing
