Breville BOV860BST Smart Oven Air Fryer and Convection Oven, Black Stainless Steel

We like this much better than the Ninja air fryer/convection oven that we had. (Ninja main control dial broke early.) This Breville let's you cook larger (taller) items, though has the same counter dimensions as the Ninja. Overall it works well for the usual needs - toasting, bagels, baking smaller items (e.g. game hen but not big chicken), air frying and broiling. The digital display and controls are well designed and fairly intuitive, if you remember the extra control buttons on the front (convection, thaw and light). We've used the "frozen" mode a couple times and it seems to simplify cooking something straight from the freezer. The provided racks and pan work nicely and clean up well and with minimal effort. The stainless steel looks good on our light counters and fits our other appliances (if that's important to you). Other little things: I like that the crumb tray is easy to remove and clean, the glass cleans easily and the interior light is brighter than our Ninja was. We use our propane oven much less because this works so well, which is better for our breathing (carbon monoxide and NoX fumes).

Fantastic oven air fryer it is very easy to use the knobs and display are well built. The style is very nice also. The oven cooks very well and I use it almost every day. I bought this as an upgrade to a smaller air fryer and I like the larger capacity of this one. It has a nice pre heating function and a wide variety of other cooking options although I have not tried them all. Keeping it clean is a problem as the grease builds up quickly especially if you use it frequently.

I was planning to buy a small, inexpensive replacement for my 20 year old, 2 rack Oster which finally bit the dust. After spending way too much time researching, it dawned upon me that since I use this every day, why not upgrade to bigger and better and so I did. This countertop oven is awesome. Wish I had done this long ago. Now for some details. The dimensions listed for the product are not accurate. I measured and found 13" D x 18.5" W x 10.5" H to be the actual size. Nonetheless, this product is ideal in so many ways and full of nice features. My old toaster oven had 2 rack positions and this one has 3 which is nice. When you open the door with the rack inside, the rack pops out with the rack guide which is very nice. It has a three plug outlet cord to run the 1800 watts and so far no issues with the kitchen circuit. The preheat time is fast and sweet. This model comes in a very nice blue and has 10 function controls, which is plenty. This Damson Blue Smart Oven is what I consider a mid range size in that it has three rack positions compared to many small toaster ovens which have two and the larger ovens have four. This unit is an upgrade in size from my older toaster oven and that is exactly what I wanted for the long haul. You can use parchment paper for most everything, which is so much better environmentally. Say goodbye to all the foil usage. While the manual does say to not line the crumb tray with foil, you can use foil to wrap your food if needed. A note about "Convection" and "Air Fryer" is also important since many brands now tout this in their marketing materials. In my research, what I learned is that these two terms simply mean, it has a fan. The fan is used to disperse heat evenly throughout the small chamber. This unit does come with a good sized air fryer basket but I have not tried it yet. The controls are very easy and simple to use and are of very good quality. Other than all of the features and size, I chose this model and brand based upon how high the Breville brand rates on most top ten lists. In my view, this is a great value and highly recommended for the cost.

My old oven, the same model blew out during a lightening storm. I decided to try one of their fancy new ovens and even though the price was very high I have trusted them for more than a decade. The new, expensive one arrived and after an hour or so wrestling down the hallway to the kitchen, unpacking it, trying to lift it up (it weights at least 80 lbs.) and finally getting it plugged in....... it didn't work - kept getting an error message. Customer service was not really helpful at all. I finally after much consideration decided to chance it and get this model as it was pretty close to my old one (with a few new features like air fry). It is exactly as stated. Fits perfectly where my old one was. All the functions are great (I really like the air fryer) and it started working immediately. I actually got my Ninga off the counter because this did it all. Grilling in Ninga is only thing I miss but broiling will do. All the features cook everything perfectly only one I haven't tried yet is dehydrating but I have some apples I'm going to try. I can roast a whole large chicken or half a turkey in it. It also cooks a Medium (12") pizza. I can make a dozen cookies at a time. It lights up when you open or close it and has a button to keep light on through out cooking which I like for baking small batch of cookies or pizza. It is easy to clean up, I just wipe with a damp cloth when it cools down enough. I keep a silicon sheet in the roasting pan in shelf under air fryer pan when I use that and any drips can easily be wiped off sheet. This is a great value for all the functions it has and I am so glad I got it.

I am renovating my kitchen so needed something to get me by while we are in construction. This oven is amazing. Easy for my kids to use as well. Love that it’s family size and has so many different options. Happy I went with this Breville - highly recommend it

Since buying the Breville, we hardly ever use our full sized oven, and have also retired our toaster. Heats way faster than a full sized oven, and cooks as well, or better

Not my first Breville Smart Oven. Love it. I especially love the blue. Makes me smile every day. But sadly, the crumb tray is so difficult to keep clean. Crumbs are easy, but any oil or butter or drips and it stains so easily. I’m always scrubbing. There must be an easier coating they could put on.

I've had this oven 10 days now and I know it's going to be invaluable!! Air Fryer cooked my drumsticks to perfection. Pizza function was awesome. A quiche was baked perfectly and reheated without the crust turning to mush! Our Thanksgiving dinner was reheated to the right temperature without drying it out. And .... it toasts perfectly! Easy to clean. Easy to follow settings. Highly recommend this Breville machine. Happy cooking!!

Bought this toaster oven with airfry partly because we had the previous model. Main reason is their toasting ability with a Bagel mode. Bagel mode is important for bagels, english muffins, pizza reheat, etc. Not only did they add Airfry but an enhanced convection mode. The added lighting is a great feature (light shines on the food, for example comes on 30sec before toast is done so you can see the brownness - very thoughtful by some designer) Overall a great unit - if you have previous model you’ll be amazed how quiet this one is in regular convection mode, almost can’t hear it; of course enhanced or airfry mode has the fan noise. For us best possible combination unit and was surprised at the increased quality and convenience features.
