Thank you so much for all the love on this video! 💛 If you're interested in how this oven is holding up, I just posted a six-month update where I cover everything you need to know before purchasing the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro-watch it here: ruclips.net/video/Jk62bUYSfZQ/видео.html
Gotta love RUclips’s suggestion algorithm…. I’d ordered the 900 last week and had watched several videos prior, then received it last night. I haven’t used it yet but surely will daily. It replaces a Ninja SP101 which I’ve really liked. You’re very engaging and clearly an amazing baker. I hope your channel explodes with views and viewers (if that is what you want).
Yes, same!! I'm a little disappointed it's too short to fit a KitchenAid mixer bowl to proof (just found that out a day or two ago), but I'll just transfer my dough to a different bowl when needed. Should still be great for the second proof on shaped loaves, though! Hope your bread turns out amazing!
In Canada, these are more at regular price. I bought a Breville Smart oven 7 years ago for great price at Best Buy. Convection fan stopped after couple years but didn’t miss it. Everything else still works great. I just received my upgrade, same size model BOV860 with air fryer and colour that I prefer. Bought refurbished and saved $100. Not a mark on it . Just arrived and not set up yet. Have another Breville product that I like
I agree that the oven is heavy, especially before unpacking. The outside box used for shipping has no handholds and that makes it awkward to handle. It is helpful to have another person help carry or move the package. The inside box does have handholds. It is probably best to leave the oven on the floor until it is completely unpacked. I unpacked my oven on a carpeted area of the floor, and I tried to minimize lifting. Once unpacked, the oven isn't too difficult to move around.
I wouldn’t put so close to wall. And definitely buy the wood cutting board they recommend for top of machine. Buy a silpad - easy cleaning - for bottom of crumb try .
I've been happy with the location on my counter for the last six months and without any additional accessories, but thanks for the recommendations. They may be helpful for other viewers :)
Great video! So happy to see this unboxing. I do not have a toaster oven and this looks intriguing; my mom loves hers (Emeril). I can't wait for your next report on how it's working for you. I learned something new, didn't know that the electric ovens actually bake better than the gas ovens. This makes perfect sense now that you mention it since I always have to be so careful where I place my cake pans when I bake - one side will brown while the other is just perfect. Happy baking!
Thank you so much for your kind comments, Andrea! I'm glad you learned something and enjoyed the video. The even baking has been super helpful for me, especially with my macs :) I'm working on my full review video and hope to have it out in the next month or two-stay tuned!
There's currently a sale on the Breville BOV900BSS again and I am trying to decide if I should get one. I found This unboxing video while searching for reviews. Thank you for posting it! I am very curious to hear how you like it now that it's been a few months. I hope you post a review video.
You're welcome! I have a full review in the works, now that I've had it for four months. I'm in the final stages of editing another video (should be out this weekend) and then it's full speed ahead for the full review video-likely won't be in time for the sale, though :( I'm happy to message with you about my findings on Facebook or Instagram, if you like :)
I would put it in the corner and.move the flowers towards the dish rack. I think you will get more counter space that way. Been considering this item so happy to see it.
Just what I needed to re-box mine for a return! I thought it had a stainless steel interior and since I bought it on Amazon I didn't see the box that describes the nonstick interior. Should have read further into questions and comments. I've been trying to replace our current nonstick interior airfryer because the interior is so hard to clean if you don't clean it after nearly every oily cooking session. I need something I can scrape clean. Sigh. Back into the box
i love yr smile, also the breville oven look very nice but did you ever look at wolf countertop oven? how well it made close to the same price / just thinking which one. love yr video
Thanks so much; I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I looked at Consumer Reports' best countertop ovens, the most highly reviewed ovens on Amazon, a few general articles on countertop ovens, and some countertop ovens my fellow food bloggers have raved about. Sorry to say the Wolf countertop oven never came up in my research! I just did a quick search for it on Google, and it's $600+, which lands *quite* comfortably outside of my price range. It looks like it has a lot of the same features and a similar overall customer rating, but far fewer reviews (probably due to the higher price point). I would hope it has some more features than the Breville to make that extra $200-300 worth it :)
Bought one too . No cookbook ? Really? I bought a second air fryer tray. And a real pizza stone. Not into non stick pans with chemicals. Toast takes 4-6 minutes- esh! Dehydrated yesterday- came out great - beef jerky- trying airfryer today . Toast set off fire alarm in new modular home. Another esh .
There are so many features, I almost think it would be hard to include a cookbook that used all of them lol! I agree with you that it takes a lengthy time to toast bread and bagels (but maybe that's intentional... I know Breville also sells toasters ;) )
Level 7 is at the very bottom of the oven. Do they really mean for a tray to be inserted where it is practically almost touching the bottom heating elements? I would think it would burn the heck out of a pizza's bottom.
Yep, they do! I've reheated pizza on level 7 exclusively since I've gotten it, and it performs great with crispy but not burnt crusts. The one caveat is more the opposite problem lol: The included pan isn't the greatest for baking homemade pizza from scratch. Fresh dough doesn't bake up near crisp enough for me, and it's nowhere near getting close to the crust burning. (I have a video of that in my 6-month update for the Breville if you're curious.) I still use my gas oven and pizza stone if I'm going to make pizza from scratch, but the Breville works really well to reheat pizza :)
cool! I heard a lot of reviews that say it makes a high pitched noise when you plug it in and it doesn't go away even when its not being used. Have you noticed this noise? thx!
No high-pitched noise on mine! I'm hyperaware of any appliance making *any* noise in my kitchen (we went through four fridges till we settled on a good one that didn't have a hum that bounced around in my brain 😅), and I haven't heard anything like that from this oven :)
Can I ask you what the exact depth is of this uni'm trying to decide on this size or the one slightly smaller which is slightly bigger than the Emirii air fryer toaster oven I am going to replace.
Sure! I've listed the dimensions in other comments; here's what I've said: I just measured mine, and its exterior dimensions are about 21.5" wide, 17.5" out from the wall (including the handle), and 12.5" tall. Also, keep in mind you're "supposed" to have 4" of clearance on either side and 6" of clearance above, which will mean you need about 30" inches of open space on your countertop. When it is on and cooling down, it mostly blows air out of the right side where the controls are, so l'd prioritize that spacing on that side for sure :)
Thank you for your great video. I just discovered your channel as I investigate getting an air fryer toaster oven or convection toaster oven. How is the lower tier convection oven different from the oven you bought? I am undecided on getting an air fryer vs a convection oven. My wife and I are in our late 60's and do not do a lot of extensive cooking, but still cook salmon, burgers, roasts and chicken. I am thinking it might be better to get a counter-top unit instead of using our large gas oven. Thank you.
Hi Walter! Both of the Breville toaster ovens I mentioned are convection ovens, so if you're debating between just these two ovens, you can have both settings with the higher tier one (900BSS)! Compared to the oven I have, Breville's lower tier convection oven (800XL): -Does not have air fry, proof, slow cook, or dehydrate settings. -Has a smaller interior size (18.5 x 15.7 x 11.1). If you and your wife do a lot of baking, you may have to purchase smaller versions of standard baking pans (muffin pans, baking sheets, baking dishes, etc). If you don't do much baking (or plan to still use your gas oven for that), that probably won't be much of a concern. I haven't experimented much with the air fry setting, so it could just be lack of education/tests on my end, but I don't think there's much of a difference between the air fry and regular convection heating. Certainly not enough for me to think it's worth that extra $100 or so! But that $100 is MORE than worth it for me for the sheer amount of regular-sized baking dishes and pans I can fit inside. They're both great convection oven options with even heating, so it really depends on what features you think you would use. If you're not regularly cooking anything too fancy or too large, you should be able to get away with the 800XL. I almost think the 900BSS is a little too big when I'm cooking two measly pieces of fish on the roasting pan for my husband and me, but it really comes in handy with larger batches of cookies. I hope that helps; let me know if you have any other questions!
In a regular convection oven vs a separate air fryer appliance, perhaps! I have not personally noticed a difference in fan speed between using the convection setting vs the air fry setting in this Breville oven (or in my gas oven, which has convection and air fry settings as well) :) Edit: I used the air fryer function earlier this week and could definitely tell a difference in the fan speed for the Breville oven! Definitely much louder than the normal convection setting, and the fan speed is much faster. I still don't think there's a huge difference in the end result of the baked/air fried food, but you were right in that the fan speed is increased!
Hmmmm, it depends on the features you're looking for. If you really only need a microwave and an air fryer, the Combi Wave would probably be your best bet, as you'd just be paying for the features you'd use. I'm sure you'd be able to find ways to use the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro (there are a TON of features), but I don't think it would work well as a microwave. Then you'd end up having to buy a microwave *in addition* to the toaster oven, and not everyone has the space on their counters for that. But if you do have the space, I have an affiliate link you can use to purchase it haha ;)
@@FloralApronBlog I understand there is a normal fan sound, but mine is making high pitch buzzing noise as well. Does yours do the same? I just got mine.
I *think* so! Breville claims it can fit a 5-qt Dutch oven, and it fits my 2.5-qt, 6" tall Dutch oven easily. I'm happy to verify measurements when I'm back home from visiting family-if you don't mind waiting until next week to order! :)
The inner height from the lowest rack to the very top, right under the bar protecting the heating elements, is about 7.25" tall On the lowest rack, the Breville oven just barely fits my 7-qt Crockpot Dutch oven without the lid. The lid does not fit, as the lid + pot makes the Dutch oven about 7.5" tall. It would be close, but you should be able to fit a 5-qt, 7" tall Dutch oven with careful placement!
Great video! I'm going to buy it through your link. I might have missed it, but do you know the dimensions? Amazon says the INTERIOR dimensions are "Extra large 21.5 x 17.1 x 12.7 inch interior with capacity for 9 slices of bread" but when I measured those numbers on my counter it was absolutely HUGE. Any help would be amazing! @Floral Apron
Thanks so much; I really appreciate that! 💛 This toaster oven is pretty big for a countertop oven, probably to accommodate all the things it can fit inside haha! I just measured mine, and its exterior dimensions are about 21.5" wide, 17.5" out from the wall (including the handle), and 12.5" tall. I think there must be a typo on Amazon's dimensions, because those are definitely the EXTERIOR dimensions, not the interior! Also, keep in mind you're "supposed" to have 4" of clearance on either side and 6" of clearance above, which will mean you need about 30" inches of open space on your countertop. When it is on and cooling down, it mostly blows air out of the right side where the controls are, so I'd prioritize that spacing on that side for sure :) Let me know if you have any more questions, either here or in my messages on Instagram @floralapronblog. Always happy to help!
Can you share the depth measurement from the wall not including the handle? Or your counter depth? I’m trying to figure out the actual footprint on my countertop.. Thanks so much for your walk-through of this product!
@@madsmadsmaddy Sure! My counters are 25" deep. The oven's footprint from my backsplash to the front of the oven door (not including the handle) is 15.125". Note: The oven rests on four feet that are about 1.5" deep and 2.5" wide. They're set a little bit inward than the actual corners of the oven. (You might be able to see that in the video when I take the bottom cardboard off?) From the back of the wall to the end of the feet in front, it's 13.5". You could probably get away with placing this oven in a space that's about 15" out from the wall and 30" wide on your counter. Hope that made sense; let me know if you have any other questions!
Yes, that's correct. The Joule was out of my "comfortable" price range for a toaster oven, so I didn't look into that one. I believe it's all the same internals as this Smart Oven, just with wifi capabilities and an app.
There are TONS of 1-star and 2-star Amazon reviews for this suggesting that it is poorly made and can break down catastrophically. Glass door shattering while cooking, knobs breaking down, fan breaking down, door hinge breaking down because of poor design, the unfixable "E06" error etc. On top of that, tons of people having issues contacting Breville for customer support. Long wait times, having to wait weeks for them to get your air fryer and make a decision on it, or never even getting contacted back by Breville. Makes me quite hesitant to buy.
If you're hesitant to buy, then I wouldn't buy it. All I can tell you is I've had a positive experience so far, and many people I've talked to about Breville appliances have had positive experiences. I get that that doesn't negate the fact that there are people with negative experiences out there. If there was ANYONE that was going to have a negative experience with this oven, it would have been us. My husband and I joke that we're cursed, because ever since covid, we have had ~75% of our packages contain items broken in transit no matter the carrier, had to have 30+ items fixed in our new-build house (even after we moved in), went through four fridges before we got a good working one, had our washer leak intermittently to the point where the two of us moved it out of the house to fix it two or three times... Name any minor household inconvenience you could have, and we've probably had it within the last three years lol. We've had this oven for three months now, and I've used it daily (if not multiple times per day). The only real issue we had was it tripped the fuse the third time we used it. Hasn't happened again, and there have been no other issues. It's only three months in, but still. I still have the box because I wanted to be able to return it in case something did happen. There are probably some quality control issues (whether they're due to covid, consumerism, second-rate materials, etc... who knows?), but I think you're going to find that with most items/companies nowadays. With all of our house/appliance issues, I have not had a single call to a company where I have not been put on a ridiculously long hold. At this point, I'm just used to it and know to be persistent for any follow-through lol. That said, if you're really concerned about dealing with Breville customer service, you may want to look into purchasing the oven at a department store with a credit card for two extra layers of protection. You can always return the item to store or submit a claim with your credit card if you have a problem and can't get a hold of Breville customer service. Lastly, I don't personally think 575 bad reviews (1 or 2 stars) out of 8,200+ is a ton. I think there would be many more negative reviews than 7% on Amazon if the product truly was commonly defective. The decision is up to you, and whatever you decide to do, I hope it serves you well!
I make a lot of French macarons, which are entirely different from macaroons. You can watch my most recent RUclips shorts for an example of a French macaron. I assure you, I'm pronouncing the kind I make correctly :) And trust me, there is no one bothered by that similarity more than a macaron maker ;)

It's so convenient!! I'm excited to be part of the Breville family, too haha :)
@@FloralApronBlog 😊😊😊
Gotta love RUclips’s suggestion algorithm…. I’d ordered the 900 last week and had watched several videos prior, then received it last night.
I haven’t used it yet but surely will daily. It replaces a Ninja SP101 which I’ve really liked.
You’re very engaging and clearly an amazing baker. I hope your channel explodes with views and viewers (if that is what you want).
Oh, great timing then. I hope you get a lot of use out of your new oven! :)
And thank you so much for your kind words! That means a lot to me 💛
I JUUUUUST bought one of these yesterday from Amazon (it was on sale). I really want to use it for bread making.
Yes, same!! I'm a little disappointed it's too short to fit a KitchenAid mixer bowl to proof (just found that out a day or two ago), but I'll just transfer my dough to a different bowl when needed. Should still be great for the second proof on shaped loaves, though!
Hope your bread turns out amazing!
This is tremendously helpful in putting this back in the boxes for a damage return!

Hi! I'm buying one to bake bread in, but I can't find any interior dimensions. I want to fit my 4 quart Dutch oven. Would it fit a 7 inch tall bowl?
I *think* so! Breville claims it can fit a 5-qt Dutch oven, and it fits my 2.5-qt, 6" tall Dutch oven easily.
I'm happy to verify measurements when I'm back home from visiting family-if you don't mind waiting until next week to order! :)
The inner height from the lowest rack to the very top, right under the bar protecting the heating elements, is about 7.25" tall
On the lowest rack, the Breville oven just barely fits my 7-qt Crockpot Dutch oven without the lid. The lid does not fit, as the lid + pot makes the Dutch oven about 7.5" tall.
It would be close, but you should be able to fit a 5-qt, 7" tall Dutch oven with careful placement!

I think there must be a typo on Amazon's dimensions, because those are definitely the EXTERIOR dimensions, not the interior!
Also, keep in mind you're "supposed" to have 4" of clearance on either side and 6" of clearance above, which will mean you need about 30" inches of open space on your countertop. When it is on and cooling down, it mostly blows air out of the right side where the controls are, so I'd prioritize that spacing on that side for sure :)
Let me know if you have any more questions, either here or in my messages on Instagram @floralapronblog. Always happy to help!
Can you share the depth measurement from the wall not including the handle? Or your counter depth? I’m trying to figure out the actual footprint on my countertop..
Thanks so much for your walk-through of this product!
@@madsmadsmaddy Sure! My counters are 25" deep.
The oven's footprint from my backsplash to the front of the oven door (not including the handle) is 15.125".
Note: The oven rests on four feet that are about 1.5" deep and 2.5" wide. They're set a little bit inward than the actual corners of the oven. (You might be able to see that in the video when I take the bottom cardboard off?) From the back of the wall to the end of the feet in front, it's 13.5".
You could probably get away with placing this oven in a space that's about 15" out from the wall and 30" wide on your counter.
Hope that made sense; let me know if you have any other questions!
If this is the Joule version where can I buy it in the UK please?
Sorry, I can't be of much help there. I don't have the Joule version, and I don't live in the UK.

November 2023 Amazon $319.95
This Breville Smart Oven is cheaper than the Breville Joule Smart Oven Pro.
Yes, that's correct. The Joule was out of my "comfortable" price range for a toaster oven, so I didn't look into that one. I believe it's all the same internals as this Smart Oven, just with wifi capabilities and an app.
There are TONS of 1-star and 2-star Amazon reviews for this suggesting that it is poorly made and can break down catastrophically.
Glass door shattering while cooking, knobs breaking down, fan breaking down, door hinge breaking down because of poor design, the unfixable "E06" error etc.
On top of that, tons of people having issues contacting Breville for customer support. Long wait times, having to wait weeks for them to get your air fryer and make a decision on it, or never even getting contacted back by Breville.
Makes me quite hesitant to buy.
If you're hesitant to buy, then I wouldn't buy it.
All I can tell you is I've had a positive experience so far, and many people I've talked to about Breville appliances have had positive experiences. I get that that doesn't negate the fact that there are people with negative experiences out there.
If there was ANYONE that was going to have a negative experience with this oven, it would have been us. My husband and I joke that we're cursed, because ever since covid, we have had ~75% of our packages contain items broken in transit no matter the carrier, had to have 30+ items fixed in our new-build house (even after we moved in), went through four fridges before we got a good working one, had our washer leak intermittently to the point where the two of us moved it out of the house to fix it two or three times... Name any minor household inconvenience you could have, and we've probably had it within the last three years lol.
We've had this oven for three months now, and I've used it daily (if not multiple times per day). The only real issue we had was it tripped the fuse the third time we used it. Hasn't happened again, and there have been no other issues. It's only three months in, but still. I still have the box because I wanted to be able to return it in case something did happen.
There are probably some quality control issues (whether they're due to covid, consumerism, second-rate materials, etc... who knows?), but I think you're going to find that with most items/companies nowadays. With all of our house/appliance issues, I have not had a single call to a company where I have not been put on a ridiculously long hold. At this point, I'm just used to it and know to be persistent for any follow-through lol.
That said, if you're really concerned about dealing with Breville customer service, you may want to look into purchasing the oven at a department store with a credit card for two extra layers of protection. You can always return the item to store or submit a claim with your credit card if you have a problem and can't get a hold of Breville customer service.
Lastly, I don't personally think 575 bad reviews (1 or 2 stars) out of 8,200+ is a ton. I think there would be many more negative reviews than 7% on Amazon if the product truly was commonly defective.
The decision is up to you, and whatever you decide to do, I hope it serves you well!
It’s Macaroon not macaron
I make a lot of French macarons, which are entirely different from macaroons. You can watch my most recent RUclips shorts for an example of a French macaron. I assure you, I'm pronouncing the kind I make correctly :)
And trust me, there is no one bothered by that similarity more than a macaron maker ;)
Thanks for let me knows the price, looks like you got the good price I will wait for it until it hits that price tag !
Of course! Hope that's soon for you! :)
