Covers every need: toast in the morning, roasts, reheats, bakes, pizza and air-fried chips. Hasn't touched the large gas oven since getting it, and it keeps the kitchen cooler in summer.
Loves it and uses it every day: French toast for the kids, chicken nuggets, and vegetables like asparagus and cauliflower come out great. Says it gets used far more than the regular oven.

It's how well reviewed Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer BOV860 is, out of 100, next to the other countertop ovens here. Two things go in: how its reviews compare with the best-reviewed appliance (positive reviews, mixed counting half, and how many reviews there are), and its own negative and mixed reviews, which take points off, so only a appliance few people are unhappy with scores in the high 90s.
