Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer (BOV860) review

The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer ranks first because it covers the widest range of everyday countertop cooking at a price below the flagship ovens. It lists 11 functions, from toast and bagel to roast, pizza, cookies and a slow cook setting for long, low-temperature cooks, plus a dedicated Air Fry mode that pairs higher temperatures with Breville's Super Convection airflow. Breville's Element IQ system steers power between independent heating elements and uses sensing with digital PID temperature control, which Breville says eliminates cold spots. The LCD tells you when preheating is done and starts the timer on its own, and the interior light can be turned on mid-cook. The box includes an air fry basket, a broiling rack with an enamel roasting pan, a 13 inch non-stick pizza pan and a wire rack. The trade-offs are price and size: at $349.95 it costs much more than the Ninja Flip, and it needs about 16 inches of counter depth. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run cooking tests.
