Has the Breville Pro and loves it so much: just two of them barely use the oven, fast preheat and the multi-speed convection (air fry) feature; roast chicken, vegetables, garlic bread and toast, and friends and family ordered one after trying it.

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

Absolutely loves the Breville Smart Pro with air fry: heats to 480 F in under a minute, quiet fan, cooks turkeys, roasts, cakes and fries, accurate proofing. Very expensive but worth it; only lacks steam injection.
Lives alone and uses the Breville with the quartz heating element mostly in oven mode; nothing comes close for quickly cooking something and cannot remember the last time they used the real oven.
Upgraded to the BOV900BSS at the end of last year because it was bigger and on sale. Would not hesitate to recommend it; says it does everything well and has largely replaced the full-size oven.
Upgraded to the BOV900 and was pleasantly surprised: super crispy air frying, quick preheat and no complaints so far, used every day the first week.
Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is great as an oven replacement and barely uses the regular oven. Toasting is uneven but gets the job done, and air frying is probably passable.
Uses it as the toaster and for everything else: heats faster than the regular oven and is good for roasted vegetables, fries, leftovers and pizza. Cleaning is the downside because the elements are not meant to be cleaned, so use the tray and rack for drippy food.
Bought the Breville in 2020 after their ovens died and still uses it far more than the double ovens: heats faster, consistent, with an air fryer option.
Got the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro at Christmas and loves it: uses it as a second oven, toaster, reheater and dough proofer, and uses the air fry setting regularly.
Bought the Smart Oven Air when it first came out and used it multiple times a day. It heats quickly and does not overheat the kitchen, and convection and super convection are great. The door eventually would not close, which they admit was partly rough use, so they bought another.
