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.

Has had the Breville Smart Oven Air for about 9 years. Air fry still works well, but a dedicated air fryer is faster and cleaner; wings make a mess in the Breville and it is a pain to clean after heavy air frying. Now mostly uses it for toast.
Uses their Breville BOV900 much more than the oven in their gas range, whose convection is nowhere near as good, and wants to find a way to free up the counter space it takes.
Bought the Breville Smart Oven for a stainless air fryer and liked it, but it is huge: the basket does not fit the sink or dishwasher and it takes much counter space.
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.
Loves the Breville Air Fryer Pro. It is not as fast as a basket air fryer, it is bigger than expected, and the super convection is a bit loud. Recommends a pan under the tray to save cleanup.
