BrevilleBOV860BSS Smart Oven Air Fryer and Convection Oven, Brushed Stainless Steel

I love this counter top oven! Great quality and good looks make this a smart purchase. And it does an awesome job heating, air frying and toasting. Replaced my toaster too! I hardly use my big oven now!

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.

I purchased this because I used one at a friend's house and was super impressed with it. It heats up really fast. It's energy efficient compared to a regular oven. It cooks good in a fraction of the time due to the convection feature. It air frys, toasts, roasts, broils and bakes like a dream. You can adjust it on the fly easily. It's easy to clean. Plus they come in a variety of colors. I chose the black truffle(or something) version. I love it!

This Breville smart oven air fryer is a phenomenal cooking tool. We love the look and it is so simple to operate. The lighted display is invaluable and the interior light is bright. We like how the rack slides out when we open the door due to the magnets on the inside of the door - clever! It cooks evenly and extremely capably. There are so many functions that there is no excuse not to use it almost exclusively, independently of the range. The only complaint we have is that it takes a long time to preheat. Otherwise, we love it.

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 thatLook, 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.

This Breville toaster oven is amazing. It's compact; perfect for countertop spaces. And it can toast evenly and on both sides of the bread, something my old toaster oven didn't do. Bakes, toasts, and broils well. I haven't even used all of the functions yet; I've only had it a few weeks, but I'm looking forward to using all of the functions at some point. Well-made, good looking, and hopefully lasting a long time.
