BOV860BSS Smart Oven Air Fryer, Brushed Stainless Steel | Bake, toast, broil and more with countertop oven's 11 cooking functions | Convection setting reduces cook time by up to 30%

This is our second Breville Smart Oven and we love it. The first one lasted several years before the convection fan stopped working, but we still going strong otherwise when I bought this one. The black truffle color works really well in our kitchen. I especially like that they added air frying to this model. My only concern is that it is a little difficult to keep clean when used as an air fryer. Grease splatters on the door, but I’m not sure what, if anything, they could do to stop that. It’s really good for pizzas and biscuits, really just about anything. We use it more than our range oven because it’s so quick to heat up.

I was planning to buy a small, inexpensive replacement for my 20 year old, 2 rack Oster which finally bit the dust. After spending way too much time researching, it dawned upon me that since I use this every day, why not upgrade to bigger and better and so I did. This countertop oven is awesome. Wish I had done this long ago. Now for some details. The dimensions listed for the product are not accurate. I measured and found 13" D x 18.5" W x 10.5" H to be the actual size. Nonetheless, this product is ideal in so many ways and full of nice features. My old toaster oven had 2 rack positions and this one has 3 which is nice. When you open the door with the rack inside, the rack pops out with the rack guide which is very nice. It has a three plug outlet cord to run the 1800 watts and so far no issues with the kitchen circuit. The preheat time is fast and sweet. This model comes in a very nice blue and has 10 function controls, which is plenty. This Damson Blue Smart Oven is what I consider a mid range size in that it has three rack positions compared to many small toaster ovens which have two and the larger ovens have four. This unit is an upgrade in size from my older toaster oven and that is exactly what I wanted for the long haul. You can use parchment paper for most everything, which is so much better environmentally. Say goodbye to all the foil usage. While the manual does say to not line the crumb tray with foil, you can use foil to wrap your food if needed. A note about "Convection" and "Air Fryer" is also important since many brands now tout this in their marketing materials. In my research, what I learned is that these two terms simply mean, it has a fan. The fan is used to disperse heat evenly throughout the small chamber. This unit does come with a good sized air fryer basket but I have not tried it yet. The controls are very easy and simple to use and are of very good quality. Other than all of the features and size, I chose this model and brand based upon how high the Breville brand rates on most top ten lists. In my view, this is a great value and highly recommended for the cost.

We like this much better than the Ninja air fryer/convection oven that we had. (Ninja main control dial broke early.) This Breville let's you cook larger (taller) items, though has the same counter dimensions as the Ninja. Overall it works well for the usual needs - toasting, bagels, baking smaller items (e.g. game hen but not big chicken), air frying and broiling. The digital display and controls are well designed and fairly intuitive, if you remember the extra control buttons on the front (convection, thaw and light). We've used the "frozen" mode a couple times and it seems to simplify cooking something straight from the freezer. The provided racks and pan work nicely and clean up well and with minimal effort. The stainless steel looks good on our light counters and fits our other appliances (if that's important to you). Other little things: I like that the crumb tray is easy to remove and clean, the glass cleans easily and the interior light is brighter than our Ninja was. We use our propane oven much less because this works so well, which is better for our breathing (carbon monoxide and NoX fumes).

We tried a few different air fryers after the Cuisinart we had for years died, and the model had been discontinued. We stuck with this one - it's large but does a great job. The bagel setting toasts perfectly. The air fryer setting takes longer to warm up/preheat than I expected (the Cuisinart we had doesn't preheat at all for that setting), but overall it's great. It takes up a lot of counter space but looks nice - love the navy blue.

I searched for months to find a new counter-top oven. Our Cuisinart had been through two children and more than a few burned tortilla shells. I wanted a toaster-oven that had a high output convection feature, was noted to air fry, had a nonstick interior AND would fit on the kithcen counter in our 174 year old house here on the coast of Maine. This oven does what it says. Just about all of it! Every feature, not without the odd quirk here and there, works as described. Like everyting from a cast iron skillet to this oven, there are nuances in programming, timing, and maintenance. - Toast. Even browning. Not hard. - Bake. Even bread rising, weekly loaf comes out more evenly for less energy than my range oven. - Air fry. It does! Larger batch than a stand alone air fryer! - Roast. 3lbs chicken! - Reheat. Great that it goes down to 120F. A few tips? Observations and remarks answered from others: - Do not overload when air frying. Cook in batches. Do not over oil the product. - Do not turn the program selection knob to fast it skips. Like the first press of the light button from “sleep”, the first program selection wakes up the display. - Be smart and check the oven temperature with a good probe. Its quite close and fairly even but not perfect. - Don't whine about the fan noise. It’s a convection oven sitting on your counter. What did you expect? - It gets HOT on the top and sides. I put together my own bamboo board and silicon feet on top. Reach out and I'll tell you how. - Cleaning is not without its challenges but easier than our previous oven. This is a good appliance! Since December 2023 I've prepared: - Air fried roasted toasted walnuts with smoked paprika and sea salt. - Blueberry pie (Hey! Its Maine!) - Skillet blueberry corn bread (Hey! Its Maine!) - Bacon and bacon - Air fried 'broasted' chicken - Baked haddock (Hey! Its Maine) - Weekly loaf of bread - Toast, bagels, this and that Look, this is a pricey investment. But you get what you pay for and the Breville BOV-860 does the job unusually well. If you are up for the investment, this is a good product that I strongly recommend. PS. To be completely candid, I had troubles with pre-sale support that were not resolved. I tried to reach Breville through several different channels for specific dimensions which were never provided. I did find the details, on my own, but would have appreciated answers from the manufacturer. All’s well that ends well but there is room for improvement.

My old oven, the same model blew out during a lightening storm. I decided to try one of their fancy new ovens and even though the price was very high I have trusted them for more than a decade. The new, expensive one arrived and after an hour or so wrestling down the hallway to the kitchen, unpacking it, trying to lift it up (it weights at least 80 lbs.) and finally getting it plugged in....... it didn't work - kept getting an error message. Customer service was not really helpful at all. I finally after much consideration decided to chance it and get this model as it was pretty close to my old one (with a few new features like air fry). It is exactly as stated. Fits perfectly where my old one was. All the functions are great (I really like the air fryer) and it started working immediately. I actually got my Ninga off the counter because this did it all. Grilling in Ninga is only thing I miss but broiling will do. All the features cook everything perfectly only one I haven't tried yet is dehydrating but I have some apples I'm going to try. I can roast a whole large chicken or half a turkey in it. It also cooks a Medium (12") pizza. I can make a dozen cookies at a time. It lights up when you open or close it and has a button to keep light on through out cooking which I like for baking small batch of cookies or pizza. It is easy to clean up, I just wipe with a damp cloth when it cools down enough. I keep a silicon sheet in the roasting pan in shelf under air fryer pan when I use that and any drips can easily be wiped off sheet. This is a great value for all the functions it has and I am so glad I got it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars I bought this to replace a sad 4-slice toaster that was basically a “warm bread suggestion machine.” I hesitated because my full-size oven has convection… but turning on the whole oven to crisp nuggets felt like using a semi truck to deliver a taco. This countertop oven won me over immediately. Why I’m obsessed: Toasted bagels = perfection: First use was a bagel and we were instantly converted. I didn’t know bagels could be that perfect. Fits a 12" pizza: Yes, a full 12-inch pizza fits (aka the exact size of most grocery store frozen pizzas). It even comes with a pizza pan. Actually cooks a real meal: Big enough to do 4 full-size chicken breasts easily. It can handle a meal for 2–4 people depending on appetites. Fast: No 20-minute preheat lifestyle. This thing is ready to cook right out of the gate. Cooks everything well: Reheats takeout, nuggets, homemade mac n cheese, frozen pizza, fresh pizza… it just nails it. Pizza reheat is elite: Crispy edges, melty top, no microwave sadness. Easy controls: Dials + digital display are intuitive. I didn’t need the manual. Plug in, go. Looks amazing: I got the olive green and it’s genuinely beautiful on the counter. Easy to keep clean: I use fitted parchment liners to keep cheese/oil off the rack + crumb tray, which saves me a ton of cleanup time. Makes me cook more: I use it several times a day because it removes the hassle (and waiting) of the full oven. Noise + heat (real-life stuff): Noise: On air fry it sounds like a soft hair dryer. Not obnoxious. Heat: The front behind the handle does get hot (there’s a caution label right where it heats). Use oven mitts or tongs and you’re fine. Price reality: I was nervous spending around $350 on a countertop appliance (first time for me), but I don’t regret it. I use it constantly. Quick answers: Fits a 12" pizza? Yes Big enough for meals? Yes (2–4 people) Easy to use? Yes Preheat needed? Minimal Reheats food well? Yes (pizza especially) Loud? No (soft hair dryer sound on air fry) Gets hot? Yes, front area behind handle Easy to clean? Yes (liners help a lot) Would buy again? Absolutely

This is my third Breville oven. The last one was the air fryer pro which I used daily for 5 years. The door spring went and then the oven started turning off after 15 minutes no matter how I set it. So, considering the price tag of Brevilles I started researching other brands. In the end, I decided on the smart oven air fryer. The pro is terrific but it is massive and heavy. This model Is a little smaller, not as heavy and it looks very nice on the counter without taking up too much space. Since I use it mostly for bake, toast and broil, sometimes air fry, it does just about everything I need. I purchased the black and I think it’s a nice change from stainless everything. I am comparing this to the Air Fryer Pro. So the only cons for me on this model are: -Only one rack so only one batch at a time. -No dehydrate function Just like the other Breville ovens, this is well built, the outside does not get as hot as some of the other popular brands, so it seems well insulated. Also, I noticed in reviews of some other brands that the first few uses the oven gives off a bad odor. The Breville does NOT. I wonder what’s in those others that they need to burn off?? As others said, if you do a lot of air frying you might want a dedicated air fryer. This oven does a good job but my sweet potato fries could have been a bit crispier. The oven is easy to clean, easy to move if you must, and you don’t need a PHD to figure out how to use it. I do miss the little bit of extra cooking space and extra racks and the ability to put in more than one item at a time. I never used the dehydrate function on my other oven. Overall, this is a fantastic oven for making meals for 1-4/5 people. And it looks good!

Since buying the Breville, we hardly ever use our full sized oven, and have also retired our toaster. Heats way faster than a full sized oven, and cooks as well, or better

Not my first Breville Smart Oven. Love it. I especially love the blue. Makes me smile every day. But sadly, the crumb tray is so difficult to keep clean. Crumbs are easy, but any oil or butter or drips and it stains so easily. I’m always scrubbing. There must be an easier coating they could put on.

Le Four est d'une précision remarquable pour les degrés atteints, Se que plusieurs autres marques ne peuvent offrir ou égaler… Il remplace aussi bien mon four conventionnel dans plusieurs tâches ce qui est beaucoup plus pratique, la circulation d'air chaud cuit à la perfection des aliments comme le poulet ou le boeuf sans aucun problème et laisse la viande tendre et délicieuse. Il peut servir de mijoteuse ou de déshydrateur des fonctions additionnelles qui sont un plus. Je l'utilise aussi pour la pizza congelée, vous savez comme moi combien il est dur de tout cuire uniformément la pizza quand elle est congelée et bien sûr la grille du bas sur la plaque qui est inclus et le réglage pizza elle cuit d'une façon parfaite sinon mieux qu'un grand four Le cadran ACL est très simple et les touches sont conviviales et bien pensées une autre gros plus. Plusieurs parles du son qu'il émet comme dans la vidéo, je ne trouve pas si pire que ça Bref il ma surpris de bien des façons The oven has remarkable precision for the degrees reached, which several other brands cannot offer or match... It also replaces my conventional oven in several tasks which is much more practical, the circulation of hot air cooks at the same time. perfects foods like chicken or beef without any problem and leaves the meat tender and delicious. It can be used as a slow cooker or dehydrator, additional functions which are a plus. I also use it for frozen pizza, you know like me how hard it is to cook the pizza evenly when it is frozen and of course the bottom rack on the plate which is included and the pizza setting it cooks evenly perfect way if not better than a large oven The LCD dial is very simple and the buttons are user-friendly and well thought out another big plus. Many people talk about the sound it emits like in the video, I don't think it's that bad

Bought this toaster oven with airfry partly because we had the previous model. Main reason is their toasting ability with a Bagel mode. Bagel mode is important for bagels, english muffins, pizza reheat, etc. Not only did they add Airfry but an enhanced convection mode. The added lighting is a great feature (light shines on the food, for example comes on 30sec before toast is done so you can see the brownness - very thoughtful by some designer) Overall a great unit - if you have previous model you’ll be amazed how quiet this one is in regular convection mode, almost can’t hear it; of course enhanced or airfry mode has the fan noise. For us best possible combination unit and was surprised at the increased quality and convenience features.

I am renovating my kitchen so needed something to get me by while we are in construction. This oven is amazing. Easy for my kids to use as well. Love that it’s family size and has so many different options. Happy I went with this Breville - highly recommend it
