SMART HOME · SMART KITCHEN REVIEW
Breville’s large countertop oven combines air frying, roasting, baking, slow cooking and dehydrating in one appliance built around precise heat control and a roomy 1-cubic-foot interior.
A premium countertop workhorse for serious home cooks
The Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is a strong choice when you want one countertop appliance to handle many cooking jobs and you have enough counter space to leave it in regular use.
Best for versatile countertop cooking
- Households that want air frying plus full oven functions
- People who cook larger batches
- Kitchens with enough permanent counter space
Too large for compact kitchens
- Very small counters
- Shoppers who only need a basic air fryer
- People who rarely cook enough to use its larger capacity
What Is the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro?
The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is a large countertop convection oven with 13 cooking functions, including air fry and dehydrate. It uses Breville’s Element IQ system and PID temperature control to distribute heat and keep temperatures stable.
Its biggest advantage is versatility. Instead of buying separate appliances for toast, air frying, roasting, reheating, dehydrating and some slow-cooking tasks, you can consolidate several functions into one large countertop oven.
Key Features That Matter
- 13 preset functions: Toast, Bagel, Broil, Bake, Roast, Warm, Pizza, Proof, Air Fry, Reheat, Cookies, Slow Cook and Dehydrate
- Element IQ heating system with six independent quartz heating elements
- PID temperature control
- Super convection mode
- 1 cubic foot interior capacity
- Fits a 13-inch pizza, 9 x 13-inch pan and larger roasting tasks
- 1800-watt power rating on the US model
- LCD controls and interior oven light
The 1-cubic-foot interior is the key advantage
Capacity matters when you are cooking for more than one or two people. The oven can handle larger pans and batches than compact air fryers, which makes it more useful as a true secondary oven.
Element IQ focuses on heat control
Breville’s heating system adjusts power across multiple heating elements. The goal is more controlled heat placement depending on the selected cooking mode.
Air fry and dehydrate add flexibility
The included air-fry and dehydration modes broaden what the appliance can replace, especially when you would otherwise buy a separate air fryer or dehydrator.
Pros and Cons
- Large and versatile countertop oven
- 13 cooking modes
- Air fry and dehydrate functions included
- Precise temperature-control features
- Useful for larger households and batch cooking
- Large footprint and significant counter-space requirement
- More expensive than a basic air fryer or toaster oven
- 1800 watts means you should pay attention to outlet and circuit use
Who Should Buy It?
Choose this Breville if you cook often, want one appliance to cover many countertop-oven tasks, and have enough kitchen space to use it regularly. It is harder to justify if you only want occasional air frying.
What to Check Before Buying
Measure your counter
The oven is substantially larger than a basket-style air fryer. Check width, depth, height and required clearance before ordering.
Think about your cooking volume
Large capacity is valuable for families and batch cooking, but unnecessary if you mostly prepare one small serving at a time.
Check electrical requirements
The US model is rated at 1800 watts. Use it according to the manufacturer’s electrical and clearance instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro replace a regular oven?
It can handle many everyday baking, roasting, reheating and air-frying tasks, but whether it can replace your full-size oven depends on the size and type of food you cook.
How many cooking functions does it have?
Breville lists 13 preset cooking functions, including Air Fry, Dehydrate, Bake, Roast, Pizza and Slow Cook.
Is it a basket air fryer?
No. It is a countertop convection oven with an air-fry function and mesh basket accessory.
Is it good for small kitchens?
Only if you have enough permanent counter space. Its large interior also means a larger exterior footprint than compact toaster ovens or basket air fryers.
