Terrible experience with Breville 3IN1 Combi wave oven.. bought it at $700 from Harvey but it has gone bad in 2 years and making lot of noise in oven or air fry mode.. customer care telling to buy another on with 40-50% discount however they inflate there price in there website which is turning out to give another $450 from my pocket…. i would never recommend this product and breville to anyone else… Show details
Purchased from the Good Guys early 7 Sept 2025. $638 on sale. Used settings eg microwave, oven, grill, air fryer - didn’t particularly work that well, especially on air fryer mode. Took way too long to cook frozen chips, or other frozen foods. No major issues with cleaning. Food didn’t heat evenly when using microwave. Noticed substantial… Read more
condensation dripping from inside to under the door. Machine used a couple of times a week. Went to use microwave tonight, worked for approximately 30 seconds, stopped and flashed up on the screen EO-5. I googled what that meant - performed the recommended re-set. Tried in another power point, same problem happened. Rang the Good Guys - advised me to bring back in store and they will test. I asked about getting my money back, the lady said Breville has a right to repair, replace, but I won’t know the answer until run through all tests in store. Will take back to store on the weekend - fingers crossed I get my money back
Returned product to the Good Guys this afternoon, full refund issued, tested in store, wasn’t working.
Thank you Good Guys at Tuggerah - good customer service
No longer require response from Breville
Bought this from Good guys, I had this 3in1 Breville convention oven for 2 years and worked very well. The air fryer and Grill option was fantastic . after 2 years of using it somehow all the function stops working except the grill I took it to the… Read more
shop they said it’s out of warranty and they have to send it for repair but I have to pay for all costs. So I call directly to the breville costumer service they offered me new one half price and free shipping. But still I had to pay almost $400 , so I learned always buying extra warranty from Harvey Norman which is better than good guys .
Follow-up · As i mentioned before after 2 years all the options except the grill stopped working I didn’t bother to spend mor money for repairs im Now only using the grill. I recommend to buy it from Harvey Norman + extended warranty But while it was working I really liked it specially the air fryer and easy cleaning inside
3 in 1 new cooker – I don't use air fry a lot. It is still a super product. Show details
A Combination of Rubbish - Breville The Combi Wave 3 in 1 BMO870 – This product is disappointing. It doesn’t heat food evenly, and the extra oven/air fry functions feel unnecessary, especially compared to affordable, dedicated air fryers like those from K-Mart, which are much faster. For instance, cooking chips takes only 12 minutes in a K-Mart air fryer, while the Breville Combi 3-in-1 takes 25 minutes. For the… Read more
price, I expected much better performance. If you're looking for a straightforward microwave, avoid this one and go for something simpler that does the basics well. Breville should stick to what they do best—coffee machines.
Good ... With Reservations – I bought the refurbished version from Breville and was impressed so I bought a second one (to loan to a family member before installing back in my kitchen). After a few months the first one stopped microwaving and started smelling, so I E-Mailed Breville who gave me a code and told me to drop it at their collection centre ... the other side of… Read more
town but I combined it with a trip that way so not a major problem in Adelaide. A week or so later I had a call saying it was dead and they were sending a replacement ... which they did. So now I have 2 operational devices that are working happily. I totally don't use my oven or air-fryer anymore with the two Combis taking over all their functions. Interestingly, after cooking with the OVEN function for cakes and reheating chicken etc (tastes much better than microwaving), I tried using the AIR-FRY function instead and it does the same thing in half the time, a bit like a fan-forced oven I guess. The GRILL function works but is definitely not rapid, allowing extra time via the timer gets around the problem without burning but not fabulous for a quick melted cheese sandwich. The pre-heat function is annoying but I just knock about 3 minutes off the total oven or air-fry timer and the problem goes away. As for the self-closing door I have seen criticised in other reviews, I just give the door a tiny flick with my thumb as I close it and it shuts perfectly every time. So would I recommend it ? Well yes but don't throw away your existing microwave or sandwich griller just yet.
life spans of breville microwave oven – This microwave oven's life span is too short for its price which is over 500 dollars. I purchased it last Febuary and recenly it broken down with sparks from inside of the oven. I just googled about the brevile microwave life span and saw complaints that some people's microwave ovens went broken within 2 years time when other products last more… Read more
than 5 years. General lifespan of microwave ovens is more 5 years according to google.
How come this unit I have been using worth more than 500 dollars broke down within 2 years and have to buy a new one? I called Brevile and they said they can offer me 40 percent discount on a new unit, but honestly their cheapest ones is over 200 dollars. Even kmart microwave ovens might last as same I reckon. Their warranty is only 1 year.
Please reconsider if you are thinking of buying microwave ovens from Brevile
Really well engineered – We have had this for a year now. I don’t use the grill and only sometimes use the airfryer which has worked well but i don’t really have expectations for that part, it brings leftover chips back to life pretty well. The microwave is what I’m in it for and it is excellent. No idea how it does it but the low power settings aren’t just a duty cycle… Read more
on a big magnetron, the heat input is actually lower, which is what you need for gentle heating. It heats things through without drying them brilliantly and quickly. And the controls are intuitive and quick. The soft close door and the ability to turn off all the buzzers (which are pleasant sounds anyway) are awesome too. This is my second Breville product and both have been really thoughtfully designed.
Breville Combi Wave 3 in 1 Black Stainless – Purchased this machine and paid $700, absolute piece of rubbish, only lasted 18 months, what a joke, called Breville which were no help, I will never be buying another Breville machine of any type again, better sticking to trusted brands not Breville, very disappointed. Show details
Take note of the reviews – Bought today and already having to contact Harvey Norman tomorrow because the soft close door won’t shut. The clips are out of alignment so it just bounces back when you shut and I have to manually push the latch in to get it to close. Goes without saying but for the price, these things shouldn’t be happening. Show details
Returned today. Opted to not take a replacement and just got a normal microwave instead.
Mediocre – The microwave component - excellent. The grill component... takes as long at the oven. The airfry component - terribly slow and small. You get a tray with the microwave to be used when in airfry mode. It's the size of a dinner plate and it's not fast like your usual airfryer. I do not recommend this product if you are looking for an airfryer. Great little microwave. No point in having the grill function if you already have an oven/grill. Show details
A worthwhile purchase – I purchased this from The Good Guys at a very reasonable price. It is advertised as a 1200w microwave but it is actually 1100w. It replaces a benchtop oven and a microwave oven which took up too much space. It has easy to understand controls and looks great in black and chrome. It grills as well as the advertised functions and so it is a very… Read more
useful oven. It is easy to keep clean if you do it regularly. The microwave has 10 power levels which I assume go down in 10% increments but there is no information to confirm that. I have used the air fryer to cook chicken and fish, the microwave to cook tv dinners and the food menu to cook frozen pizza. All have turned out perfectly. Overall, a very nice product.
Save workspace in your kitchen and buy this! – I’ve had this combi micro air fryer a few months now and have used all its functions. It has replaced my basic microwave and air fryer. Things I love: Preset buttons for melting butter and popcorn Less bench space taken up. Cooks, defrosts, air fry’ perfect every time. E.g - whole chicken - so juicy, kids nuggets and chips - so crispy, fish and… Read more
veg, baked potatoes and pork chops - delish!! So easy to use and clean. Things I love least: Have to wait 3 mins for it to heat up. Just means I get that on before I start prepping food. I can’t fit as much on the tray as I could in my air fryer (but my air fryer was massive and taking up too much space). The air fryer was also maybe a bit quicker. Overall, happy to save bench space and have one appliance that does it all!! Oh and she looks pretty :-)

Worst ever Microwave brand purchased ever – Bought the Microwave from JBHI two years ago. Since the purchase, I always had issues with it. The food was undercooked. The attachment tray leg melted even when used as per instructions. The oven stopped functioning occasionally. For the past week, sparks have flashed inside the microwave when I tried to use it, and the oven completely stopped working. Show details
Love it – I have had Sharp conversion/microwaves for many years. I liked the look of the Breville and interested in the airfryer. Love the microwave, oven and the airfryer is soooo... good Show details
crap value for money – worst microwave I have ever owned worst air fryer ever owned. self-closing door doesn't after cooking oven full of moisture legs on tray melted absolutely worst value for money ever bought. Show details
Choose something else – I thought what a great idea to replace my airfyer with a Combi oven, yes in concept NO in reality. Air fryer is slow, much slower than my old Kmart model. The interior is incredibly difficult to keep clean, the grill function takes forever, microwave function is great. Ok now here’s the real kicker, mine blew up not once but 3 times. I took it… Read more
back to Harvey Norman and they were great ! Just swapped it over each time, but after round 3 I thought enough and returned it . It’s a big fat NO for me
biggest mistake buying it – We exchanged the first one and now on no 2 after 2 days the fan rattles, notified Breville rep, 3 days & no reply, maybe getting money back would be the right way to go. as they say "NOT HAPPY JAN" Show details
Does not perform well – This product should air fry but after half an hour items still not cooked. It is so hard to clean the inside as very poor quality Show details
Promises a lot, fails all around – Purchased this in Feb 2021. Microwave works well. Struggled with things being undercooked on the inside, yet burned on the outside, with both oven and air fryer. Thought it was me, as I've never had an air fryer before. Persevered as to lazy to take it back to the store. Then the leg melted on the air fryer tray. Then the soft close door stopped… Read more
closing. Then the glass turntable broke in half one night when doing jacket potatoes. And a week later, the air fryer pan actually caught fire during the heating up. Waiting for(hopefully) a refund, as I purchased the extra 5 year warranty from good guys. I do not want another/repaired one!
the worst breville item i have ever purchased – the tray leg fall off within a month...the micro wave appears to to have blown up ..will need to have it repaired or replaced ,it is less than 18months old and hardly used... Show details

Absolute Garbage – I have had this unit for 2 weeks and already gone through 2 Combi Crispi pans as I tried using them in the oven and the leg melted both times leaving the unit to really not work as it is suppose to. Smoke came both times and in calling Breville, they did nothing for an entire hour and finally at the end of it offered me 25% off a new pan. I mean are you Flipping kidding me. Returning it and buying something that will actually work.
not so happy now – we looked at replacing our lg soladom which was getting noisy after 13 years and went for the breville combi wave 3 in 1, but have found the microwave function low in power and now our pan crisper is starting to melt. Show details · 1
It all fits – A nice compact microwave that does it all. Came to this 32lt from a 42lt Panasonic Combi 1000w which served well for years but as all microwaves do it lost power and started making its own timing decisions. This little Breville does everything the monster Panasonic did with a smaller footprint, My big oval Pyrex roasting dish was the only item… Read more
that didn't fit but a round replacement went well. The air fryer which some complain about ... hey it doesn't taste like plastic guys, just takes a wee longer than the Aldi special without adding devices or power cords to the benchtop. The cooking ...easy, fast on combi setting, excellent results, doing way more combi's by nature now by comparison to the good old BIG Panasonic which did have that feature but I was less inclined to use it.
Poor performance – Space saving but microwave is not powerful, air flyer cannot perform like individual air flyer, oven is slow and not powerful enough to cook food, grill is just enough to cook food and not even have grill appearance on the surface. Recommended to buy individual, mini oven, microwave and air flyer separate. Nor recommended this product Show details
Perfect Rice, for the first time! – I am absolutely delighted with my new Combi-Wave 3 in 1 product. For the first time I can make perfect rice. Using their special settings I can pop corn quick and easy, melt butter, reheat meals and I LOVE the “A bit more” button as well. And to think my husband initially bought it because of the smooth door closing feature. It is so much more than a fancy door!!!
Massive upgrade from a standard microwave – Purchased the Breville 3-in-1 after my previous old microwave died. The Breville 3-in-1 has so many cooking options. I have used it to cook a wide range of foods from a full roast pork dinner in combi mode, chicken in oven mode to using the smart buttons (inside the door) to soften butter and melt chocolate. The soft close door is a bonus I was… Read more
not expecting.
The Breville 3-in-1 Combi Wave oven is used almost daily at my place now. I even use to to warm up dog biscuits on these cold winter mornings, so that my labradors can have a nice warm breakfast before venturing out on these cold Hobart mornings.
I was loving it until the crisper pan leg melted – I enjoyed using this for the last 3 months but now I could not use the oven function because one of the legs melted the plastic of the crisper pan. I bought this from The Good Guys and I was told it is not covered by warranty. I am so disappointed and wanting to return the product. I hope Breville will replace this free of charge because I found a YouTube video where the vlogger showed exact same thing happened and it was replaced by Breville. Show details
Faulty crisping pan – Nice microwave however after using crisping pan 3 times in airfyer mode I find plastic has melted around one of the legs and now it the leg wont come down so cant be used! After looking online I can see this is not the first time it has happened! Very poor condidering how expensive this microwave is. Hoping Breville will be helpful when I contact them.
