Has had a Breville Smart Oven Air Pro for almost 10 years, replacing the first with another when it got wonky in 2020. Uses it multiple times a day. The top gets quite hot and it is bulky but not heavy; air fry is fine to them.

Main-oven stand-in with even cooking, though cleaning after greasy air frying is the big gripe.

A toaster oven aficionado with hungry teenagers: the Breville is the best but only lasts about two years with heavy use; went through two and is back to a Breville.
Has the Breville a little over 4 years and it still works like new but is a pain to clean.
Has had the Breville air fryer oven just over 3 years and uses it for toast, baking, dehydrating peppers and proofing dough; calls it hands down their most used kitchen appliance and would rebuy it.
Has had the Breville over 3 years of regular use and it has held up well and works great as an air fryer, but it smells up the house and is almost impossible to keep clean.
Has had two of these; the latest lasted nine years and is dying from aggressive cleaning. Not as fast or convenient as a traditional air fryer.
Got the Pro a few weeks ago and likes it. Support replaced a dented unit quickly. Has roasted chickens and made pizza three times, results great.
Used a BOV800XL daily for about 5 years, then upgraded to the BOV900BSS, which gets used at least once a day. Does a lot of baking and uses the full oven only once or twice a year; would buy the BOV900 again.
Used it twice daily for four years: a great mini oven for broiling salmon, toast and pizza, but a messy air fryer and near-impossible to clean, with bottom tray and door rusting. Replaced with Dreo air fryer for air frying.
Has had the Breville for 5.5 years: fantastic as an oven and air fryer, decent as a toaster, no reliability issues at all.
Has had the BOV900 about three years and thinks it is fantastic. Air fry works very well for frozen foods, bakes bread, toasts well and has basically replaced the main oven. The wire basket is a pain to clean, but overall they would buy it again in a heartbeat.
Has the BOV900 and says it is great and solid. The only downside is slow toasting, about six minutes for bread. Likes that time and temperature can be changed while it runs.
Has owned four Breville smart ovens including the air fryer model. Great oven, but the air fryer is pretty bad and the oven is impossible to clean, with elements that never get clean.
Overall great: very consistent heating, spacious and reliable, used instead of the full oven 90% of the time. It runs a bit cooler than the temperature indicates, so it is worse at air frying than a dedicated air fryer.
Bought the Breville air fryer oven in November 2018 and it is still going great, used multiple times a week, fits a 9x13 dish.
Has had the Breville since 2018 and it has performed great with foil and a thorough clean every couple of months.
Has two Breville air fryer pros, aged 7 and 3 years, both working identically; the main oven is only for Dutch oven sourdough now.
Has used the BOV900BSS Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro since 2018, only replaced once under an Asurion plan after the control panel went out. Fits a 9x11 pan and bought them for relatives.
Has had the Breville almost 3 years, never missed a beat; the oven with extreme air flow and the defrost function are really good, air fry is used less.
Has had the Breville since 2019 and uses it daily; does not air fry as well as a dedicated Philips air fryer but good enough.
Has had that exact Breville for 6 years and it is as good as new; never uses the full-sized oven.
Has had four of these at two houses, never buzzing, used more than once a day. Rarely uses the regular oven. Air fry may not be great but it is perfect for two.
Absolutely loves the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro and uses it every day for toasting bread, baking, air frying and reheating. Wants to keep it through a kitchen remodel.
Just bought the Air Fryer Pro and noticed the door does not seal all the way around, with a small gap on the left side. Support says it is a steam release feature.
Has had the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro for five years; it toasts very well but takes a bit longer than a regular toaster.
Cannot imagine life without the Breville, invested after a cheap toaster oven converted them, and is very happy with it.
On a second Breville after wearing out the first over five years. Reliable temperatures, fairly easy to clean, replaces the full-size oven for two or three people.
Bought the BOV900 and likes it a lot, hoping to get 10 years out of it.
Just bought a Breville and on first use accidentally touched the side with their arm, getting a considerable burn.
Has had the Breville BOV900BSS since 2018 and only replaced a spring; hardly uses the range oven anymore, used multiple times daily.
Has had the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer for several years and it is still going strong.
After a few minutes of toasting, the outside of their Breville Air Fryer measured 203 F and later 237 F on video with support. Burned themselves touching it, sees a safety issue and plans to return it.
Has had the same smart oven at least seven years, uses it mostly for baking and it fits a decent pizza. Rarely uses the full oven.
Has had the Breville for a few years and loves it, never uses the traditional oven anymore.
Uses their Breville daily for toast, reheating and air frying, mostly in place of the oven. It is four or five years old and holding up well.
Has had one for three years and uses it daily. Loves it.
Used at least once every day for over five years and rarely touches the big oven. Said it was worth every cent.
Overall happy with the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro: well made, no problems, used mainly as air fryer and toaster. Air fry works, though the large cavity may not blast food like a small unit, toasting is slower than a toaster, and it splatters with greasy food and needs a lot of counter space.
Used the Smart Oven Air regularly for 8 years; it is far better than any other toaster oven they have used. The convection fan gave out after about 7 years, and the start button needed repeated presses from early on.
