On their second Smart Oven (no air fry): the first lasted over 10 years of heavy use before the fan gave out humming, and the second is 4 years in with the fan giving trouble.

Their first oven lasted a few years, the Breville Pro that replaced it lasted eleven, used several times a day. It died when the door latch broke so it never leaves preheat mode; they ordered another and are happy with the brand.
Replaced a toaster oven and air fryer with the Smart Oven Pro: durable, heats up much faster than a big oven so they use it for casseroles, and the multiple racks are fabulous.
Their Breville Smart Oven Pro replaced a toaster oven and air fryer: durable, good customer service and does all functions well, though air frying needs preheat and about 10% more time.
Has had the Breville Pro about 5 years of heavy use; only the door sensor finger started acting wonky and was bent back.
Uses the Breville Smart Oven Pro convection toaster oven at least once a day and turns on the big oven about once a month. Expects it to last 15+ years even with daily use.
Has had the same Breville Smart Oven Pro since 2017, used daily, and it has outlasted its warranty, along with other Breville products.
The larger Smart Oven Pro, bought in 2020 and used several times a day every day, has given no issues at all. Would buy another if it broke.
Owns the Breville Smart Oven Pro and says they love it; recommended it to someone needing a larger toaster oven for an apartment.
Owns two BOV845 units, one at home and an old one at a workplace, and says neither makes the loud fan noise.
Has owned a Smart Oven (2017) and Smart Oven Pro (2020 and 2023): they work great until they die, and no Kalorik, Cuisinart or Ninja they tried worked as well.
