It was no surprise that once Breville entered the toaster oven game, nothing else was even worth considering. Not content to rest on that definitive win, Breville’s Smart Oven Air took things to the next level with air frying, dehydrating, and the capacity to accommodate a 14-pound turkey. This is a pretty perfect appliance, and it can and will save your cooking life. As with most Breville appliances, the Smart Oven Air’s controls and aesthetics are far beyond anything else on the market. The long list of cooking presets— from roasting and toasting to cookies and pizza —is easy to navigate and intuitive, while super convection and an array of sensors ensure fast, even, exacting results. The Air can replace your oven, toaster (obviously), dehydrator, air fryer, your microwave (in most cases), and can even act as a slow cooker when paired with a Dutch oven. You can use the Smart Oven Air to roast an entire chicken to perfection. As you can guess from the capacity, the Smart Oven Air is a large appliance, but you can expect similar performance in a range of sizes and price ranges from the entire Breville Smart Oven lineup.
