Breville the Smart Oven Air Fryer Questions & Answers

It is the same size as a micro wave and will fit in a caravan but don’t waste your money I sent emails and pictures of my air fryer with a question of how to clean it , it is a nightmare to clean and after several times asking I got a very sarcastic email try using a scourer and soap and water :/ I will never buy a breville product again Customer service sucks

Thanks Linda did not think about it being up high and difficult to clean. Cheers

This is just from my personal research and not in anyway a professional opinion but there appeared to be differing options on the function panel. Basically the one I bought had me at the air-fryer function. Compare the function options for the one that fits your needs.

Hi Danika,
Both models have identical functions, the only difference in the models is the item code for the type of finish and colour of the unit. I have the BOV860BSS model which is Brushes Stainless Steel. a great kitchen appliance. My gas top cooker and gas oven have not been used in the passed four years.

Hi Alan
Thank you very much for the information. Just bought my one and I love it.

Probably, but check the space surrounding it - it gets hot, just like an oven, only smaller...

Thank you so much

I have solar system at home and I use this oven nearly everyday with no issue at all.

possibly
it needs clearance around it and ac power
dunno the power usage

It uses a normal 240v power outlet. It would be perfect in a caravan, you would not need an oven, only a hotplate.

You can use it as an air fryer as well.

Yes they do, i have to have the kitchen exhaust fan on at the same time

I agree. The smart oven *air fryer in US is also a microwave....not in Australia, you still need a seperate microwave. Plus no food dehydrator like US version.
I also purchased after watching YouTube thinking the difference in name was just because US and AUS often have different names.
I'm very disappointed as well.

Same here just went to proof some dough and saw that this is not on the australian model, and after reading this to find that there is no dehydrator as well disappointed didnt enter my mind after googling breville smart oven air fryer when only one came up that I had purchased the correct one

I just found that out myself. I am wondering if Breville have misled us as consumers. In none of my research, did it ever say NOT AVAILABLE IN AUSTRALIA. Imagine my surprise (which very quickly turned to disappointment) when I opened up my box only to find that there is no dehydration or proofing feature.

I have to say, i was in the same boat here Therese. I had watched many youtube videos on this product and hadnt realise after purchasing that the ANZ unit was infact the smaller version of the 2 offerered in the US. Whilst i am very impressed with it, i would have liked to have fitted all my existing trays into it!!

I have absolutely no idea what this oven can do. After it failed completely during the pre-use heating I returned it to the shop and got my money back.

It gets really hot on top of the unit and i see vapor coming out the left hind side when air frying or roasting. It would need some clearance on left and top.

Yes just swap rack levels at the half way cooked point so both get the side stream convection fan on High

Yes to a using the baking pan on the shelf under the Airfryer rack . Yes to using silicone or baking paper and yes to foil .. it’s not a microwave so any containers you use in a standard oven can be used

Thank you! I was wondering the same things!
