The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro folds a lot of cooking methods into one countertop unit. Reviewers praised its 13 modes, including air fry, dehydrate, and proof, reserving the most praise for the air frying and the super convection setting that cuts cooking time by up to 30%. The LCD display reads clearly and the companion app adds Autopilot. Grease builds up, especially on the glass door, so expect to clean it often. Cooks who want one appliance doing many jobs will be happy; anyone prioritizing minimal maintenance won't.

Strengths
  • 13 cooking functions including air fry, dehydrate, and proof
  • Super convection setting reduces cooking time by up to 30% with great crispness
  • Intuitive LCD display with visual indicators for cooking functions
Watch-outs
  • Oven gets quite grimy from grease, especially on the glass door
  • Requires cleaning the air fryer mesh basket after use due to grease buildup

The TOA-65 replaces the TOA-60's knobs with a digital panel that sets temperature in five-degree steps, and Food Network Kitchen found it beat the older model on nearly every test it ran. The 18-quart cavity takes a 12-inch pizza, six slices of toast or a small chicken, and the 1,800-watt element skips preheating for everything except Bake and Pizza. It runs hot enough to need watching.

Strengths
  • Digital interface with precise temperature control in five-degree incriments
  • Outperforms the TOA-60 model on virtually every cooking test
  • Seven distinct cooking features including air fry, bake, and reheat
Watch-outs
  • Runs hot, so food browns faster than the same settings would suggest
  • The crumb tray and wire rack are not dishwasher-safe
  • Owners report the mode dial sticking or failing after a few years of daily use

How they stack up

Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro

While the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro offers 13 functions including super convection that cuts cooking time by 30%, it's less user-friendly than the Cuisinart TOA-65 which provides precise temperature control in five-degree increments. Unlike the Ninja combo, it lacks the included accessories but offers an intuitive LCD display and app with Autopilot, making it better for tech-savvy users who don't mind frequent cleaning.

Cuisinart TOA-65 Air Fryer Toaster Oven

About $70 more than the TOA-60 it replaces, and Food Network Kitchen judged the extra worth paying for the finer temperature control alone. Bob Vila timed it three to four minutes faster than three rival toaster-oven air fryers. There is no temperature probe and no app, which some competitors do offer.
