Breville BOV860BTR Smart Oven Air Fryer and Convection Oven, Black Truffle by Breville

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.

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

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

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 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.
