# Breville Smart Oven Pro

**Brand:** Breville | **Category:** Toaster Ovens | **Score:** 8.2/10

## Overview

The Breville Smart Oven Pro is a countertop convection oven designed to replace many functions of a full-sized oven. It aims to handle everything from toasting bread to baking pizzas and roasting meats. With features like pre-set cooking functions and precise temperature control, it appeals to both novice and experienced cooks. But does it live up to the hype? Let's dive into what users are saying.

## Performance

Users consistently praise the Smart Oven Pro for its even cooking and versatility. Many find it heats up quickly and delivers consistent results across various cooking tasks. One user mentioned using it daily for everything from toast to pizza. The convection setting receives positive feedback for roasting and air frying, although some users suggest a dedicated air fryer performs better. Some users find the air frying function creates a mess inside the oven due to splattering. Several reviewers use it as a second oven during holidays, highlighting its ability to handle large dishes. However, some users report issues with food drying out, requiring adjustments to cooking times and temperatures. The pizza setting is a hit for achieving crispy crusts, but some users have struggled to get cheese fully melted.

## Pros & Cons

Here's a breakdown of the recurring praises and complaints:

**Pros:**

*   Versatile: Handles a wide range of cooking tasks.
*   Easy to Use: Intuitive controls and pre-set functions.
*   Even Cooking: Consistent results across different foods.
*   Fast Heating: Heats up quicker than a full-sized oven.
*   Replaces Multiple Appliances: Reduces the need for a separate toaster, broiler, and potentially an air fryer.

**Cons:**

*   Durability Concerns: Some users report failures after a few years of use.
*   Difficult to Clean: Interior can be hard to reach and prone to splattering.
*   Inconsistent Air Frying: Some users find it doesn't air fry as well as dedicated air fryers.

## Verdict

The Breville Smart Oven Pro is a solid choice if you value versatility and ease of use in a countertop oven. It excels at many cooking tasks and can replace several appliances. However, be prepared for potential durability issues and the need for frequent cleaning. If you're a serious air fryer, you might want to consider a separate unit. Overall, it’s a worthwhile investment for those seeking a convenient and multi-functional cooking appliance, but weigh the pros and cons carefully.
