[If you like this Breville Smart Oven Air review, be sure to check out my post that settles the debate of air fryer vs. deep fryer.]
Although I didn’t grow up with parents who spent much time in the kitchen, I’ve grown to love cooking (baking, especially) in my adult years. As soon as the Breville Smart Oven Air came out, it went on my Covet List and I knew I had to review this little piece of kitchen magic.
BREVILLE SMART OVEN AIR REVIEW: the good
The Breville Smart Oven Air is so frickin’ beautiful. You know, as beautiful as appliances can be. So beautiful, in fact, that I relegated my microwave to another part of my kitchen so I could put the Breville oven it its place — front and centre for all to see. The handles just happen to match those of my fridge, stove and dishwasher, which was a coincidental bonus.
There are so many settings on the Breville Smart Oven Air that there’s no way I could get to ALL of them before writing this review. And I’m unlikely to use all of them ever because there are some things I just don’t cook. Here are all of the available pre-programmed settings:
- Toast
- Bagel
- Broil
- Bake
- Roast
- Warm
- Pizza
- Proof
- Airfry
- Reheat
- Cookies
- Slow Cook
- Dehydrate
Because it can toast, air fry, slow cook and dehydrate, getting a Breville Smart Oven Air means less clutter on your countertop or in your pantry. You won’t need to go in search of the air fryer you used perhaps once a month or your dehydrator you used once a year. We completely ditched our toaster when our Smart Air Oven came home, freeing up a lot of real estate on our counter.
For such a compact countertop oven (truly — it’s about the same size as a standard microwave), it sure can cook a good amount of food. From a 14-pound bird or 12 cupcakes to nine slices of toast or a 9″ x 13″ lasagna, there’s no reason why this appliance can’t replace your oven for most of your everyday cooking. It has for us.
And that’s because it takes less time to heat up, cooks everything so evenly and uses far less energy — which, in the end, will obviously cost us less money, too.
The Element IQ quartz heating elements power up like a dream and send heat both above and below the food. I’ve cooked pizza, lasagna, sweet potato fries, toast, bagels, Morning Rounds and banana muffins so far and there have been no uneven spots like you can often get in your large oven, with one corner “done” more than the others.
So that means I’ve used the bake, broil, air fry, toast, bagel and pizza options to date. Oh, and I’ve used the warming option, too, to keep waffles warm as they came out of our waffle iron. I was going to try to dehydrate some apple slices before writing the Breville Smart Air Oven review, but — alas — I had no idea that dehydrating takes a full day or two. I’ll get to that eventually but I’d rather be home the entire time an oven is left on in my home and right now we’re too busy to stay home for two days!
Baking things like muffins has been a breeze. The preheating time is dramatically shorter than my regular oven and my famed black bean brownies (which are probably more like muffins, but whatever) still come out like a charm — and the Breville shaves two minutes off the total cooking time.
I was probably most skeptical of the air fry option, and that’s because the shape of the Smart Oven Air in no way resembles the top air fryer on the market (you know the one…) and — for whatever reason — I thought that spaceship-y look had something to do with how the air is circulated around the foot inside. Clearly, not so. Because I made the yummiest sweet potato fries in my perfectly rectangular Breville oven.
One of my favourite things about using this oven is that you don’t feel energy-wasteful making personal-sized meals. I would have never made myself a single-serve lasagna before owning the Smart Oven Air, because the guilt of heating up an entire oven for a dish with a four-inch circumference would have gnawed at me too hard. But in my compact countertop oven? No question. I make a one-woman-lasagna at least once a week now.
Not only does the Breville Smart Oven Air feature a convection option, but it also has SUPER convection. This is how it creates a bigger volume of air to do things like air frying and dehydrating.
Once it’s all set up, it’s very intuitive. Even my nine year old quickly figured out how to make his morning toast in the Breville Smart Oven Air. Need a few more slices of toast? A little less heat? More time for your pizza? No problem…these are also easy to adjust with a turn of a knob. It’s really the simplest thing ever.
Even though the Breville Smart Oven Air costs about $600, I refuse to put that in the gaffes. Yes, that’s a lot of dough. But we need to consider that it’s going to replace your toaster (mine was $50), your air fryer (about $200), your food dehydrator (around $100 for a good one) and potentially your slow cooker (ours was about $60; but note that I haven’t tested this personally yet so am not sure if it will mean I ditch ours). Right there, you’re at $410 in appliances, so we’re talking about another $190. And that’s without taking into consideration the reduced energy bills from doing a lot of day-to-day cooking in a much smaller oven. This is why, for me, the price absolutely cannot go in the gaffes.
BREVILLE SMART OVEN AIR REVIEW: the gaffe
The instructions are not clear about how to insert the crumb tray when you first pull your new Breville Smart Oven Air out of the box. It simply instructs you to “insert the crumb tray.” It does NOT go in the main oven. Instead, you have to close the door and slide it in underneath the door here:
Similarly, I didn’t realize until I watched a YouTube video that the trays go in — what seems like — upside down. This is not a must and they do go in easily both ways, but is especially important if little fingers are pulling out toast or you’re trying to remove a hot pizza tray. Both are much, much trickier if you have these trays in the wrong way up. Be sure to put it in like this:
The glass gets very hot when the oven is in use. I wish there was a double layer of glass or something to prevent this because it doesn’t help me helicopter parent any less.
Like all warming temps, in the Breville or your regular oven, if you’re warming something that was once on the crispy side (like sweet potato fries or waffles, in my case), you need to know that it will not maintain the crispiness. Moving ahead, we’re just going to eat our waffles as they come out of the waffle iron. The sweet potato fries were still really good after being kept on warm, but not as spectacular as the time we ate them straight out of the oven. So keep this in mind. One thing I may try next time for foods like these is to keep it on air fry but turn the temperature down.
BREVILLE SMART OVEN AIR REVIEW: the gears
4.5/5 (this is probably more like a 4.75/5 but I don’t have that rating in my rating guide)
Abby says
I’ve asked Santa for a Breville Smart Oven Air this year! We unfortunately don’t have any room on the kitchen counter, so I’m looking for a microwave cart that would fit. Could you please measure the length and width (not including the handle)?

Cassie says
Santa is delivering ours this Thursday and I can’t wait!! We live in an older home with a small kitchen (very little counter space) and I’m really hoping this could maybe replace our microwave too? Then I could ditch that and put this in its place. I understand that’s a pretty high hope and that part of the kitchen may just have to look very cluttered with the Breville and the microwave but do you think it’s possible? It says that “reheat” is a function on that oven…
Mommy Gearest says
Sadly, the reheat function is nothing like a microwave. (I wish! Would love to ditch ours, too.) So I think you’re stuck with both. But you will LOVE it!!!
Cassie says
Thank you for the quick reply! I was hoping for a yes but I had a feeling you would say now, lol!

Gerry Leonard says
some reviews say that you can only air fry things that don’t have the potential to drip and if you put in a drip pan the air fry doesn’t work properly. what do you think?
Mommy Gearest says
Hm – hard to say…I put parchment paper under our sweet potato fries and they’re fine. I cooked a chicken and air fried at the end, and it was drippy and I just let it drip. Also worked great!
AzRattleSnake says
The air fry rack goes up higher toward the top of the oven so the “crumb” tray at the very bottom doesn’t affect the air flow at all.

Airfry Slow Cook and Hydrate … all in one … kinda a thing of beauty. Especially since I have a small kitchen with limited counter space. Combining features and functions makes the limited but very valuable counter real estate work better for me and my family. It looks better less crowded, easier to use when all the features I need are in one place, and gives me more space to work. Can’t beat that!

Wow I didn’t realize that this little oven could do so much. I’m really excited about the fact that it works as a dehydrator and an Airfryer as these are two things I was wanting. Now if I could just win one that would be amazing as the price tag is going to stop me from being able to have one.

This Breville Smart oven is sooo much more versatile than older countertop ovens… definitely a game changer. And will also keep energy costs down when making a smaller size dish such as mini pizzas. I love that.

It sounds like such an amazing appliance. I love that you can bake in it (I always get one side of burnt cupcakes or cookies whenever i bake in my current convection oven), and I didn’t know you could airfry in this oven. I was looking into getting a Philips air fryer but I think I may actually just save up for this wonderful oven instead!

The Breville Smart Oven Air looks beautiful. From your review it sounds like it would get a lot of use at my house and maybe even allow us to eliminate a couple of our other small kitchen appliances, because this one will do the job. The old fashioned toaster oven sure has come a long ways. Thanks for the great review.

I have been eyeing this baby since I first read about it . My micro would be history which it very nearly is all by itself. I love Breville appliances so much. My Breville On the Go is incredible as I just know this Smart Oven is. It would be as well used if not more so.

I have wanted one of these for ages! I really appreciate the “gaffe” comments. May sound odd, but it makes the rest of your comments more …. believable? sincere? Anyway, I liked what you had to say.
Mommy Gearest says
Thanks! Nothing’s perfect and it’s only fair to point out shortcomings to create a balanced review.

I just have a regular conviction oven and use it all the time, It just the two of us and I use it to grill my chicken breast, salmon ect..This would be amazing. I’m like you and don’t use prepare food but it’s good to cook fresh food.

Thank you for your indepth review. It is a shame that the glass gets hots, although I have no little fingers to worry about. I love that is can replace a few other appliances too. (like the bulky air fryer) Might just get added to my Christmas list. I wonder if they ever go on sale?

I love the whole idea of having a smaller oven to use and save on power usage. I hate having to use my big oven to bake a couple of potatoes for example. I would love to give the airfry option a good test.

I have had my eye on this one for a bit now, but money is a big factor right now so all I can do is dream, seems like a great appliance to have in the kitchen though!
