High Safety
R3 Verified
Updated Feb 2026The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is the Cadillac of countertop ovens—1 cubic foot interior, 13 cooking functions, 6 quartz heating elements, and performance that rivals full-size ovens. Consumer Reports gave it top marks for roasting chicken, cookies, and cakes; reviewers from PureWow and Taste of Home swear it replaced their conventional oven for everyday cooking. The 1800-watt power and convection tech deliver restaurant-quality results: Brussels sprouts came out perfectly crispy, burgers broiled evenly, and French fries rivaled deep-fried versions. It fits a 14-pound turkey, 9x13 pans, and 9 slices of toast (though toast came out uneven in testing). At $400, it's double the price of Our Place and 4x the cost of budget air fryers—and that's the problem. For families who cook multiple dishes daily and have counter space to spare, it's transformative. But most families will never use the slow-cook, proof, or dehydrate functions, making the premium unjustifiable. Consumer Reports also noted the materials aren't significantly safer than mid-tier models despite the luxury price.
