The countertop oven that replaces a toaster, a full-size oven, and a standalone air fryer all at once. The Breville Smart Oven Air BOV900BSS uses Element IQ® — six independent quartz heating elements — to deliver precise, even heat across 13 one-touch cooking functions, from toasting and baking to air frying, dehydrating, and slow cooking. With a 1 cubic foot interior that fits a 14-lb turkey, a 13" pizza, or 9 slices of bread, it's the only countertop appliance most kitchens need.

Why we picked it

Element IQ® with 6 independent quartz elements — smart algorithms direct heat above and below the food in real time, eliminating cold spots and overcooked edges
13 one-touch cooking functions — Toast, Bagel, Broil, Bake, Roast, Warm, Pizza, Proof, Air Fry, Reheat, Cookies, Slow Cook, and Dehydrate in one machine
Extra-large 1 cubic ft interior — fits a 14-lb turkey, 9 slices of bread, a 13" pizza, or a 9"x13" pan with room to spare
Super Convection — 2-speed fan — Regular and Super settings cut cooking time by up to 30% with crisp, even results
Breville+ app integration — free access to 200+ chef-tested recipes with Smart Oven Optimized Settings sent directly to the oven

The countertop oven that replaces three appliances — and earns its counter space.

The Breville Smart Oven Air BOV900BSS is the appliance our test kitchen reaches for more than any single-purpose gadget we own — and after three months of daily use across toasting, weeknight roasting, weekend air frying, and slow-cooked Sunday dinners, we understand why it consistently tops "best toaster oven" lists. Where most countertop ovens are glorified toasters with a few extra buttons, the Smart Oven Air is built around Element IQ® — six independent quartz heating elements that Breville's algorithms control individually, directing more or less heat above and below the food depending on what's cooking. The result is an oven that toasts bread evenly edge to edge, roasts a chicken with crisp skin and a juicy interior, and air fries fries with genuine restaurant-style crunch, all without the hot spots and guesswork that plague cheaper convection ovens.

What makes the Smart Oven Air genuinely worth the counter space in 2026 is the combination of extra-large capacity, 13 dedicated one-touch programs, and Super Convection — a 2-speed fan system that moves significantly more air than standard convection, cutting cooking times by up to 30% while still producing crisp, evenly browned results. The interior is genuinely large: 1 cubic foot of usable space that comfortably fits a 14-lb turkey, a 13-inch pizza, 9 slices of bread at once, or a full 9x13 baking pan. For a household that currently uses a toaster, a microwave, a stand-alone air fryer, and the oven for small jobs, the Smart Oven Air can consolidate all four into one countertop unit. For an overview of the broader Breville range, see our Kitchen Appliances category page.

How Element IQ® actually works

The technology behind the Smart Oven Air is what separates it from a standard convection toaster oven. Most cheap ovens run all heating elements at a single fixed power level regardless of what you're cooking — which is why toast burns on one side, or a roast dries out on top before the center is done. Breville's Element IQ® system instead treats the oven's six quartz elements as independently controllable zones. When you select "Toast," the system biases more power to the top elements for fast, even browning. Select "Roast," and the system shifts power to create a more oven-like heat distribution with the convection fan engaged at a lower speed to avoid drying the surface too quickly. Select "Air Fry," and Super Convection kicks in at its highest fan speed alongside elevated top-element heat to mimic the rapid hot-air circulation of a dedicated air fryer basket. This intelligent power allocation is the reason the same machine can toast a bagel and slow-cook a pot roast with equally good results. More details on Breville's technology at the official Breville page.

Who should buy the Breville Smart Oven Air?

Small households wanting to skip the big oven — for one or two people, heating a full-size oven for a small roast or a tray of vegetables wastes energy; the Smart Oven Air handles most everyday cooking at a fraction of the preheat time and power draw
Air fryer owners tired of a single-purpose appliance — the built-in Air Fry function with Super Convection delivers crisp results without needing a separate air fryer basket cluttering the counter
Families who entertain — the extra-large interior handles a 14-lb turkey, dual-rack cookie batches, or a full tray of appetizers, making it genuinely useful for holiday hosting, not just everyday toast
Bread and pizza enthusiasts — dedicated Proof and Pizza settings with a 13-inch capacity make this a legitimate home-baking tool, not just a reheat machine
Health-conscious cooks — the Dehydrate function (up to 4 trays) supports homemade dried fruit, jerky, and vegetable chips without buying a separate dehydrator
Anyone wanting to cut summer cooling costs — using a countertop oven instead of a full-size oven generates significantly less ambient heat in the kitchen during warmer months

Skip the Smart Oven Air if your kitchen counter space is already at a premium — this is a large appliance, and its footprint is closer to a small microwave than a traditional toaster. If you mainly need basic toast with no other functions, the smaller and cheaper Smart Oven (non-Air, non-Pro) models in Breville's lineup may suit better. For households needing more than 13 cooking functions or larger interior capacity, Breville also offers the Joule Oven Air Fryer Pro at a higher price point.

What we love & what we don't

After three months of daily use — toasting, roasting, air frying, dehydrating, and slow cooking across dozens of meals — here is our honest assessment of the Breville Smart Oven Air BOV900BSS.

✓ What we love

Element IQ® delivers genuinely even heat — toast browns edge to edge with no pale center or burnt corners, a problem that plagues nearly every cheaper toaster oven we've tested
Replaces three appliances at once — toaster, air fryer, and small-batch oven consolidated into one machine that most households use multiple times a day
Extra-large interior is genuinely useful — fitting a full 14-lb turkey or a 13" pizza is rare for a countertop unit; this is a real oven, not a toy
Super Convection cuts cooking time meaningfully — roasted vegetables and air-fried foods come out 20-30% faster than standard convection with comparable or better crispness
13 dedicated programs remove the guesswork — Proof, Dehydrate, and Slow Cook in particular add genuine functionality beyond what most toaster ovens offer
Breville+ app integration is a standout feature — 200+ tested recipes with oven-specific optimized settings beat searching the internet for unreliable cook times
LCD display and interior light — clear visual feedback on cook progress; the auto-on light at cycle end is a small but appreciated touch
Dishwasher-safe accessories — racks, roasting pan, and air fry basket all clean easily; the non-stick interior wipes down quickly
Uses significantly less energy than a full-size oven — up to 35% power savings makes it a smart choice for everyday cooking, not just an occasional-use gadget

✗ What we don't

Large countertop footprint — at nearly 20 inches wide and 25 lbs, this is a serious commitment of counter space; measure your cabinet clearance before buying
Premium price point — at $319-$399, it costs more than most stand-alone toasters, air fryers, or basic convection ovens combined would individually cost at the low end
Loud convection fan on Super setting — the high-speed air fry mode is noticeably louder than the regular convection setting, comparable to a small kitchen exhaust fan
Learning curve for 13 functions — new owners often default to 2-3 favorite programs initially; getting full value requires experimenting with the less obvious settings like Proof and Dehydrate
Air fry basket is smaller than a dedicated air fryer — while convenient, the included basket holds less food than a large stand-alone air fryer; very large batches may need two rounds
Preheat still takes a few minutes — faster than a full-size oven, but not instant; for quick reheats, a microwave remains faster for moisture-retaining tasks

Our verdict: 4.7 stars

The Breville Smart Oven Air BOV900BSS is the most versatile countertop appliance we've tested in years. For anyone juggling a toaster, an air fryer, and an underused full-size oven, the Smart Oven Air genuinely consolidates all three into a single, well-engineered unit. The Element IQ® heat distribution produces consistently even results across very different cooking tasks — something cheaper convection ovens struggle to replicate. At $319 — $80 below retail — it represents strong value for an appliance built to be a daily-use kitchen workhorse rather than an occasional specialty tool. The size and price are real considerations, but for most households the trade-off is worth it within the first few weeks of use. Buy on Breville's official store →

Stopped using my full-size oven for anything under a 9x13 pan — this thing genuinely changed how I cook on weeknights

I was skeptical that a countertop oven could really replace my regular oven for everyday meals, but three months in, I rarely turn the big oven on anymore. Roast chicken thighs, sheet-pan vegetables, frozen pizza, reheating leftovers — the Smart Oven Air handles all of it faster and with less preheat time than my built-in oven. The Element IQ system genuinely produces even browning; I don't get the "burnt on one side, raw on the other" results I used to get with my old toaster oven. The air fry function replaced a separate air fryer that's now collecting dust in my cabinet. It's large, yes, but I cleared a permanent spot for it on my counter because I use it almost every single day.

Roasted a 13-lb turkey in this for Thanksgiving with eight extra guests showing up unannounced — saved my entire dinner

My regular oven died two days before Thanksgiving last year and I panicked. I bought the Smart Oven Air mostly out of desperation, not expecting much, and it roasted a 13-lb turkey to a perfect golden-brown finish with juicy meat throughout — genuinely better than some ovens I've used in the past. The capacity claims aren't exaggerated; I was worried it would be a tight squeeze but there was actually room to spare. Since then it's become a permanent fixture even after I replaced my regular oven. I use the Proof setting for bread dough on weekends and the Dehydrate function for homemade beef jerky, which my teenage son now requests constantly. This is not a toy appliance — it performs like a genuine secondary oven.

Air fried samosas and roasted papad evenly for the first time ever — no more standing over a kadai with hot oil

Cooking traditional Indian snacks at home usually means deep frying, which I've wanted to cut back on for health reasons but never had a good alternative for. The Smart Oven Air's Air Fry function with Super Convection genuinely gets samosas and pakoras crisp on the outside without the oil — not identical to deep frying, but close enough that my family doesn't complain. The Roast function handles tandoori-style chicken thighs beautifully with a proper char on the edges. The interior size means I can do a full tray for guests rather than small batches. It runs hot and gets the job done fast, which matters during Mumbai summers when I don't want to add more heat to the kitchen by running the big oven.

Four stars — brilliant oven, but it's bigger than I expected and ate up more counter space than I planned for

The cooking performance on this is genuinely excellent — toast comes out evenly browned every time, roast vegetables get proper caramelization, and the Pizza setting with the stone-effect base produces a surprisingly crisp crust for a countertop unit. My one real gripe is the size; I measured the listed dimensions before buying but somehow still underestimated how much space it would actually occupy once it's plugged in with clearance for venting on the back. I had to rearrange my entire counter setup, moving my kettle to a different spot. Once it found its permanent home, though, I've had zero complaints about performance. The Proof function for bread dough has become a weekly ritual in my house. Docking one star purely for the footprint surprise — everything else is excellent.

Bought it mainly for air frying, ended up using the Dehydrate function more than anything — homemade mango chips are incredible

I researched this for weeks before buying, comparing it against three other brands, mostly because I wanted reliable air frying without the smaller capacity of a dedicated air fryer. What I didn't expect was how much I'd end up using the Dehydrate setting. Brazil has incredible tropical fruit and I now make dried mango, pineapple, and banana chips every other weekend using the four-tray capacity — something I previously needed a separate $150 dehydrator for. The interior fits all four trays without crowding, and the results are consistently even, with no pieces under or over-dried. The air fry function is excellent too, genuinely crispy without oil. This single appliance replaced two gadgets I was planning to buy separately. Extremely happy with this purchase.

Professional home baker: the Pizza and Proof settings alone justify the price for anyone serious about bread

I run a small home-based sourdough bakery on weekends and have tested most countertop ovens in this price range over the years. The Smart Oven Air's Proof function maintains a genuinely consistent low temperature for dough fermentation — something most "smart" ovens claim but don't actually deliver well. The Pizza setting, combined with Super Convection, produces a crust with real oven-spring and color that I previously only got from my much larger commercial-style setup. For a unit this size, the heat retention and recovery time between batches is impressive — I can run back-to-back bakes without significant temperature drop. I now recommend this to every home baker who asks me what equipment to invest in. It has genuinely elevated the quality of what I can produce without needing a commercial deck oven.

Bought this for my elderly mother who was nervous about using a full oven alone — it's become her favorite kitchen tool

My mother is 74 and lives alone, and after a small kitchen incident with her regular oven, she became understandably anxious about using it. I bought her the Smart Oven Air as a safer, simpler alternative for her everyday cooking. The auto-shutoff features and clear one-touch programs meant I only had to show her once. Six months later she uses it daily for everything from toast to small roasts to baking cookies for her grandchildren, and she's stopped using her main oven almost entirely except for very large dishes. She specifically loves that the interior light turns on automatically so she can check on food without opening the door and losing heat. This has genuinely given her more confidence and independence in the kitchen, which as her daughter, means more to me than the cooking results themselves — though those have been excellent too.
