Customer Ratings & Reviews

Roasts, bakes and air fries evenly. A quality appliance with nice touches like an interior light that comes on during the last 30 seconds of cook time.

I find that this oven is rather complicated to operate and the time you have before it can be returned is too short to try out all the functions. It is very expensive, and I do not think that it is worth the cost.

I was interested in this Breville Smart Oven Airfryer because I wanted to clear some kitchen real estate by replacing my old airfryer and toaster oven with one appliance. I really like the mat black exterior. It matches my other appliances and has a really stylish appearance. It comes equipped with a broiler, pizza pan, and airfry basket. When I first put it on my stainless steel cart, I thought it was missing a piece because the crumb tray is actually part of the front. I plugged it into a wall socket by itself. Breville recommends a dedicated circuit just for this appliance. WHAT. I can’t do that. There is also a special Breville Unique Assist plug. It has a finger hole to unplug it. Frankly, this plug sticks out from the wall about 3 inches which is very annoying and obtrusive. Breville recommends cleaning all the new equipment and nothing is dishwasher safe. Then you need to run it through a cooking cycle before using it. There is no “set up,” just plug it in and start cooking. What that means is there is no clock. For this price I expected a clock to glance at when the machine isn’t being used. I guess we have enough backlights in the kitchen. I do love the size and concept of the airfry basket. There is no “recipe book,” but about 6 recipe cards. Frankly nothing I would ever cook. (I’m not much of a chef). The instruction manual gives detailed instructions that don’t really tell you HOW to cook common items. My other manuals usually have a section dedicated to suggested cooking times and programs for multiple common items. For example I airfry frozen french fries and occasionally fresh fries. No idea how long to cook or what temp is best or if there is a meaningful time difference. I decided to cook fresh skinless, boneless, chicken breast strips lightly dipped in olive oil, egg and flour. The tip in the instructions said if something might drip, use the broiler (the baking tray with a wire rack.) I didn’t really think it would drip but didn’t want to ruin my new airfryer, so I used the broiler. I was right, no “dripping” but some crumb drops. The problem was it never browned. I finally took it out put it in the basket and kept adding time. It finally browned in a few places and actually tasted very good. The next day I made fresh bread and tried the toaster program. My husband probably “over” buttered the bread and so the top never browned in the preset 2 slice program. The bottom was nice. Long review short assessment. My initial thought is this is an expensive piece of equipment that didn’t do a good job on my first two attempts. I will keep trying and maybe learn it was user error. Overall right now I can’t recommend this product as a replacement for my current airfryer, and there are many cheaper toaster ovens that do a better job and have that clock.

There is loud noise when ever the oven is is plugged to the wall out let. This issue has been reported several times with customer., my daughter bought this for me of recent. Picture of the product in the manual is different from the product itself.

excellent oven. uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Received this as a gift and ended up returning it within 24 hours. It made the most annoying high pitched whine that drove me crazy. It only happened when the unit was not in use. Searching reviews all over showed that this is a common problem with this specific model, none of the others. Some people can’t hear this pitch, but if you can it’ll drive you nuts.

Absolutely love this oven. It renders nearly every other appliance obsolete and in one week has become our go to appliance. Highly recommended.

The thing that really bugs me is that you cannot set an exact oven temperature. You have to go with one of the “presets” that are in 10 degree increments. I really need more precision for some of my baking needs,

Brought it home. Turned it on and noticed how much heat was coming out above the door. I stood over it and looked down and found that it has NO HEAT SEAL AROUND THE DOOR! I could see the counter it was sitting on! It only has a seal on one side! What kind of oven doesn’t have a seal around the door edge to keep the heat in?!?! Took it back and bought a Nija, it has a heat seal.

Got E05 error code every time we tried to use it. Called support and they said it needed to be on a dedicated circuit. Had to return instead of spending big $$ to run a dedicated circuit.

Design defect alert. The alert sound is so loud it makes the oven unusable in the morning. You cannot turn it off. Breville knows, as they changed this in the 900 series. Dont buy this product.
