Our Verdict

Breville the Joule Oven Air Fryer Pro

Dreo ChefMaker

The Breville the Joule Oven Air Fryer Pro and the Dreo ChefMaker are both high-end air fryers that offer automatic cooking features. For most people, the Dreo is the better bet. It makes slightly better-quality fried food, preheats and cooks a lot faster, and takes up less counter space. Conversely, the Breville is more versatile, offering a wider range of temperature settings and, in particular, a greater variety of fan speed settings. It also has more capacity and cooking surface area, so if you often cook for a crowd, you may prefer it. Keep in mind, however, that we've only tested the air fryer functions for both appliances, so their performance for alternate cooking methods or app functions may also factor into your decision.
