This high-end model has some premium features, like an LED screen and adjustable beep volume. It has a fan for air frying that you can switch on or off for most modes. It comes with the usual wire racks and baking pans, as well as an air fry basket, broiling rack, and pizza pan.

Our Verdict

0.0
Mixed Usage 

The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is good for mixed use. Its large cooking chamber can fit a 9 X 13" baking sheet, an average frozen pizza, or nine slices of bread. It stands out for its good air-frying performance, so it's suitable for preparing crispy foods like chicken wings or veggies. While it's slow to preheat, making it less ideal for reheating a quick snack, it maintains a stable temperature during cooking, which helps make it a decent choice for baking. It's not bad for toasting, especially if you need a lot at once, but it's somewhat slow and doesn't make the most evenly browned bread.

Pros
  • Large capacity.

  • Temperature is stable.

  • Fan is adjustable for most settings.

Cons
  • Toasts unevenly at maximum capacity.

  • Preheats slowly.

0.0
Leftovers 

The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is good for reheating leftovers. Its big cooking chamber accommodates all kinds of containers. This model doesn't overshoot the selected temperature, which helps prevent your food from drying out before it's properly heated through. However, it's very slow to preheat, so it's not the fastest option for reheating leftovers.

Pros
  • Large capacity.

Cons
  • Preheats slowly.

0.0
Baking 

The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is decent for baking. It maintains a stable temperature during cooking, which helps you get good results when baking or roasting. However, it tends to maintain a temperature of about 20-30°F below the selected one, so you may want to choose a higher setting for the best results when following a recipe or baking delicate foods.

Pros
  • Temperature is stable.

Cons
  • Undershoots temperature settings.

0.0
Air Frying 

The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is good for air frying. Its dedicated air fry mode uses a powerful fan, which helps it crisp and brown foods like French fries much faster than toaster ovens without an air fry feature. Its large cooking chamber gives you room to arrange your food in a single layer for better results, and the included mesh basket helps ensure your food cooks evenly. It produces quite evenly air-fried food, although a proportion of it will still be undercooked. It's also still slower compared with most good drawer-style air fryers.

Pros
  • Produces mostly crispy, golden-brown air fried food.

  • Comes with a mesh basket for air frying.

Cons
  • Somewhat slow compared with basket-style air fryers.

0.0
Toasting 

The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is decent for toasting. It can fit nine slices of regular sandwich bread, but at full capacity, some pieces will be nearly burned while others are mostly untoasted. It produces much more evenly browned toast if you use only four slices at once, but it's still very slow, especially compared to four-slice slot toasters from the same brand.

Pros
  • Toasts more evenly with four slices.

Cons
  • Toasts unevenly at maximum capacity.

  • Toasts slowly.

0.0
Cooking Capacity 

The Breville the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro has an excellent cooking capacity. Its large cooking chamber can accommodate most frozen pizzas, a 9 X 13" baking sheet, or nine slices of bread. There's enough vertical space for taller items like a loaf of bread.

Pros
  • Large capacity.

Cons

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    This toaster oven comes in one color variant, 'Brushed Stainless Steel.' Here's a picture of our unit's label.

    If you encounter another variant, let us know in the comments, and we'll update our review.

    Popular Toaster Oven Comparisons

    The Breville the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro BOV900BSS is a high-end toaster oven/air fryer. This big oven can fit bigger dishes, so it's a good option for baking or preparing full meals. It offers a much better air frying performance than other big ovens, like the Anova Precision Oven 2.0, and maintains a stable temperature during cooking, which is helpful for baking and reheating.

    However, if you plan to use your toaster oven as a toaster, it's not the best option. It takes a long time to make unevenly toasted bread, so consider similar models like the COSORI Smart Air Fryer CS130-AO if you want to toast a lot of bread at once. This toaster oven is also very slow to preheat, but on the plus side, it comes equipped with a preheat reminder.

    Typhur Sync Oven

    Track

    The Typhur Sync Oven and the Breville the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro BOV900BSS are both high-end toaster ovens. Although the Typhur is cheaper and comes out ahead overall, both toaster ovens have advantages, and you may prefer either based on your priorities. The Typhur preheats faster and maintains a more stable temperature throughout cooking. It also toasts faster and more evenly at max capacity. The Breville, on the other hand, toasts more evenly with just four slices. With a wider range of temperature settings, it's also more versatile, and it's easier to clean. Both models come with app support, and the Typhur also includes a wireless temperature probe, so it's also worth considering which special features you prefer when making your decision.

    Our Place Wonder Oven Pro (Toaster Oven)

    Track

    The Our Place Wonder Oven Pro offers better performance than the Breville the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro BOV900BSS for most people, though the Breville also has some advantages. Both toaster ovens offer fantastic toasting evenness with four slices, but the Our Place toasts more evenly at max capacity, and finishes cooking faster. It also preheats faster, and its temperature fluctuates less throughout the cooking process. This makes it a better option for baking and reheating leftovers, as it's less likely to dry out or burn your food. The Breville, however, is more versatile, and it air fries a little more evenly. It also has a larger cooking capacity, and it's easier to clean.
