    The microwave works well, the inverter makes a lot of difference for proper heating. We've used the air fryer and the oven a few times, all with excellent results for what we were doing.

    Not as big as I thought it was. Box shows a turkey can go in more likely a chicken. Does a great job! Costly for a small unit.

    Did not work. Had to be returned. Wouldn't do anything it was supposed to do unfortunately. It went back and I purchased the Breville Joule Smart Oven Pro which in my opinion is far better anyway and now I am glad this didn't work out.

    Pretty Amazing

    The Breville Combi Wave™ is a pretty amazing product. From the overall build quality to the three phases of functionality, and everything in-between, this counter top appliance does it all. We thoroughly ran this oven through it's paces across all three operation modes and it performed flawlessly. The air fryer cook mode is the best we've ever experienced, with consistently uniform results on all the typical finger foods you can think of. As a straight microwave oven, it also cooks evenly - leaving no cold spots. Amazing. And lastly as a convection oven, again the Combi Wave™ performs brilliantly. We especially enjoyed the results with a layered Lasagna dish. The huge info screen and button layout makes using this combination oven a breeze. It even tells you when to use specific 'racks' depending on the mode with a graphical depiction. The soft-touch door is even better than it sounds. Simply amazing. This is certainly an expensive item but when you consider all of it's capabilities, the removal of multi-appliance clutter in your kitchen and the exceptional Breville build quality ... it's totally worth it. I can only imagine a whole lot of folks not using their full-sized oven beyond the occasional holiday and more elaborate baked goods endeavors after purchasing one of these marvels of engineering. If you're thinking about purchasing a standard, counter top microwave oven, you should give serious thought to picking up the Combi Wave™ and calling it done. Highly recommended.

    I don’t call it just a microwave—I call it a cooking machine! I think I use it more for other things that just microwaving. Well, besides the pretty design (it really looks good on my counter), basic microwaving is easy. It has so many settings—the good thing is, the controls are not-too-difficult to figure out. I know I know a good deal about tech, so I consider me above the curve in navigating appliances and gadgets. My test was for my lady though; I guessed that it will take her a bit of time to understand the settings—such as how to defrost, or to adjust power settings. She did not have any issues at all. She was more excited to play around with it because the screen was informative. I won’t even mention anything about microwaving—it’s a basic function and I felt confident in its capabilities. I airfryed a fish (yes a fish) and it came out great at 20minutes without drying it up the inside. And frozen French fries. Cooking broccoli on it was a breeze too! So my stove has been neglected for a while. With busy work weeks, this Breville is our go-to for food preparation. It lessens our need for counter space given the multiple functions, and at the same time, makes our counter space look pretty too. Even our visitors liked it. It’s great to have something so versatile and easy-to-use at the same time. I recommend!

    Looking for a do it all device in the kitchen? This is it! Microwave, air fryer, grill!!!!, and convection oven! WOW! I've not had a chance to try the convection oven or grill features of this but the air fryer is fantastic! It's not as big as my current microwave on the inside, but it's overall footprint is smaller. This one isn't made to go into an overhead built in microwave cabinet. It requires a LOT of clearance, eight inches top and sides. It does get hot on the top and left side during the air fryer mode. I love the dials for time and power as well as the extra option buttons built into the door. Oh yeah, the door! It closes so gently! It is closed properly but it closed so gently, it makes you think that it may not have closed well. AND SO QUIET! My husband didn't think it was working it was so quiet! It does a great job with anything I threw at it. I can't wait to explore its other options! I'm so glad I have this in my kitchen!

    We've enjoyed this combination microwave/convection oven. Works well. Nice, slow-close door. It does take a while for the convection oven to heat up, but all ovens do. It seems a little slower at defrost than my previous LG microwave, but love the flexibility of this! Would purchase again!

    BESTBUY breville microwave review tech insider I give it a full 5 stars but bear in mind that the interior is 1.1 cubic feet which is a decent size for medium size meal or great for small to medium size meals. Larger meals will mean cooking meals in smaller portions. Also use of some of the included utensils (crisper pan and the Trivet) reduce cooking capacity significantly but theses overall are minor quibbles. The microwave is very powerful with its output ranging from about 1100 to 1400 depending on which cooking option(s) you use. I love the stainless steel look along with the controls and the never before seen child lock! The function buttons are microwave, air fry, from frozen, oven, fast combi and food menu. Pressing them leads you to various options which help you set up your meals, cook times, temperatures, etc... You also can turn on or off the turntable, another unique feature along with adding extra 30 seconds which I think is standard on most reheating devices in this category. So it is a great microwave but the cost is pretty steep if that is all your going to use it for. The real stars are the crisper, air fryer and oven. It is a great device that can cook family size meals as long as you take the time and patience to become familiar with your control menus and use the steps the menus list to begin your meal cooking. Foods come out succulent and crispy, not your normal microwave. Great device but does need microwave size space on your counter top so you might need to remove your old microwave to use this, which I did as it has so so many more features and abilities.

    Expensive since it only lasted 3 years

    Expensive and only lasted 3 years. Takes longer to heat food then our older microwave which was not a 3 in 1. Steamed veggies was fine. Hard to clean after air frying. Only a few items were good to air fry in this combi wave: chicken fingers and french fries. All other foods air fried just looked as if you microwaved them. I expected better quality product from Breville and it did not live up to expectation. Next time will stick with the Panasonic or Sharp microwaves.

    I would have expected the Breville Combi Wave Microwave to be, well the same as all others, but it's so much more; I was pleasantly surprised. The part you notice first is the stainless steel, which seems sturdy, and I like the fact that it matches all our other kitchen appliances. This microwave can not only reheat and cook but also defrost and do it, so all the food comes out the same. I think the star of Breville is the Fast Combi feature and it lets you Air fry and its also a Convection oven, still even better you can get food crispy if you want, I can even get crispy fries in a microwave. The unit comes with preset buttons like smart cook or smart defrost, and it has presets for the foods you may cook a lot, like popcorn, pizza, and others. You may notice it is much quieter them other microwaves we have used. Also, it not tiny, it comes with a 12+ inch turntable and a total of 1.1 cubic ft. of space inside. We very much like this microwave and believe you will also.

    I love this Breville 3 in one Oven. .i just did not like the delivery process. The delivery was to an apartment building, they left this huge heavy box in the lobby. I’m 74 years old I had to pay someone to bring it upstairs to my apartment. Shame shame Shame on you Best Buy. You should do better than that. Will never order anything heavy from you again.

    After two decades of no microwave…

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    We’ve had this microwave for well over a year now and it’s the best. We hadn’t had a microwave in nearly two decades and decided to get one to make life a little easier during a busier time in our lives. I love all the features, especially the air fry option. It’s great for a variety of foods and ways to cook them. We’re remodeling our house and is read of getting a built in microwave, we’re keeping this one and making a custom cabinet for it because we love it so much.
