Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro Review (2026)

Best for households of three or more, keen bakers, and anyone replacing a failing second oven. Small kitchens and toast only buyers will pay for capacity they never use, and the Panasonic FlashXpress or Breville Mini will serve them better.

The 1 cubic foot cavity fits a 13 inch pizza, a 9 x 13 inch pan in many cases, and a 14 lb turkey, which puts it in true second oven territory. Thirteen functions run from toast and bagel to slow cook and dehydrate.

Super convection increases airflow for air fry and roast modes, and owners consistently report that frozen foods and vegetables crisp without the dryness of a standard bake setting.

The LCD, dial, and function based Element IQ presets remove most guesswork: the oven shifts wattage across five quartz elements depending on the job. An interior light, rare at this size, makes checking browning easy.

Daily friction is mostly size. The unit is 21.5 inches wide and nearly 39 lb, and the exterior runs hot, so it needs a permanent, clear home.

Against the Cuisinart TOA-70, the Breville offers a larger 1 cubic foot cavity versus 0.6, digital precision versus dials, and an interior light, while the Cuisinart counters with a grill plate and a longer 3 year warranty. Against the Ninja Foodi DT251, the Breville is smaller but more precise for baking; the Ninja fits two pizzas and wins on raw family throughput.

Choose the Breville for balanced excellence, the Cuisinart for grilling value, and the Ninja for maximum batch size.

Ownership upkeep is the quiet cost of the large cavity. Owners report that the crumb tray and interior need frequent wiping, especially after air frying fatty foods, and that habit matters more here because the oven is big enough to cook them often. Plan for that space before you buy.

The fan is also noticeable on super convection, the mode that delivers the fastest, crispest results, so the quietest cooking comes from the standard settings. Add a hot exterior during long roasts and a body that is 21.5 inches wide and nearly 39 lb, and this is an oven that rewards a permanent, ventilated home rather than cabinet storage. None of it is difficult; it is simply regular.
