The Breville Smart Oven Pro is the pick for kitchens that bake and roast more than they air fry. For $269.95 on Breville's US store it uses Element IQ to move heat across 5 quartz elements, has an 1800W preheat and a convection fan that Breville says cuts cooking time by up to 30%. Its 10 functions cover toast for 6 slices, bagel, bake, roast, broil, pizza, cookies, reheat, warm and slow cook, and the slow cook setting runs for up to 10 hours before it switches to keep warm. The interior light comes on at the end of a cycle, and Breville notes replaceable components. In the box are one oven rack, a 12 x 12 inch enamel baking pan, a matching broiling rack and a 13 inch non-stick pizza pan. The catch is that there is no air fry mode, and for $80 more the Smart Oven Air Fryer adds one plus dual speed convection in the same footprint. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run cooking tests.
