Breville BOV900BSS Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro and Convection Oven, Brushed Stainless Steel

Bigger, better, and quieter than the regular Smart Oven
Our Breville Smart Oven BOV800XL finally broke after 10 years of almost daily use, so it was time to replace it. Another Breville, no question – but which one? The newer Breville model (BOV900BSSUSC, the one in this review) seemed like the obvious choice, but I was afraid it wouldn’t fit on the counter or it would get too hot under the cabinets.Short answer: It fits! It doesn’t get too hot! It works great! Best choice! How did I live without it??Long answer, for those who like to overanalyze everything (not that I’d know anything about that…):*** How big is it? ***- Width: 21.5″- Depth: 15″ not including handle, 17.25″ with handle- Height: 12.375″ not including handle, 12.75″ with handleSee the attached pictures for how it compares with the BOV800XL.*** How loud is it? ***Quieter than the old one. The older 800XL convection fan was loud and almost rattled. The new one has 2 fans: one to cool the electronics and one for convection. Even with both fans, cooking with normal convection is pretty quiet. Airfry turns the convection fan up to 11 and makes a serious whoosh. I don’t use airfry much (regular convection works just as well for most things we cook), so it’s not a big deal.You want numbers? I got numbers. With the decibel meter sitting on the counter next to the oven:Baseline room noise: 33dBOven, no convection: 55dB (mostly the electronics fan)Convection: 57 dBAirfry mode: 69 dB(Note that when the fan first starts, it’s louder, maybe 66dB, for 1-2 seconds until it gets up to speed. That’s how the old 800XL fan sounded all the time.)Check out the attached video if you want to actually hear it.*** How hot does it get? ***After 15 minutes of convection roast at 450°F:- Top front: 215°F- Top back: 160°F- Sides: 140°F- Glass: 235°F- Door: 220°F (top and sides), 170°F (bottom)- Back: 135°F- Wall behind it, a few inches away: 90°F- Cabinet above, 7″ clearance: 90°FThe cabinet above it does get warmish inside, so if you store your chocolate or cooking oils or other heat-sensitive stuff there, you might have a problem.*** How well does it work? ***Great! Having a 2nd oven is amazing for when I don’t want to heat the big one, or need to cook things at 2 different temperatures, or need to keep something warm while the rest of the food finishes cooking. This oven has 10 settings, but I use only a few of them:- Toast: Slower than a toaster, but cooks the slices evenly.- Bake/roast: Temperate is accurate, cooks mostly evenly (there’s a slightly hotter spot in the front right).- Airfry: I never had a standalone airfryer, so I can’t compare. It does make things crispier compared with normal convection. Usually I just use the airfry basket with the fan on normal convection, and that seems fine.- Slow cook: Never used it.- Reheat: As far I as I can tell, the only difference between reheat and bake/roast is that for reheat, the timer starts when the oven starts heating. For bake and roast, the timer starts after the oven is already heated. Subtle difference, but surprisingly convenient for not overcooking your leftovers.tl;dr: Oven is good. I like it.

Great air fryer oven, but it takes longer to clean.
I love my Breville air fryer. It can do a lot of things and is a quality product. Since this is my first time using an air fryer, I wish I had had more knowledge about using an air fryer. There is one problem though, the cleanup in a large oven like this is time consuming. If you are making any type of fatty meat, the grease gets on everything. I made chicken legs and my husband said they were the best he had ever tasted. When the meal was over, and time to clean up, the oven took me 1 1/2 hours to clean up. You have to clean everywhere in the oven, the bottom, the trays, the sides, the top. Grease goes everywhere.I still love my Breville oven, as it makes wonderful toast, heats up leftovers, great fries, etc. but just stay aways from greasy foods for an easier cleanup. I decided to get a smaller ‘basket-type’ air fryer for the greasy foods like roasts, chicken, hamburgers and foods with lots of grease. I purchased an Instant Pot (6 Quart) for cooking things like this. It has a non-stick bucket that is easy to clean in no time at all. Now I have the best of both worlds, an air fryer oven for the big things like casseroles, making lots of toast or cookies, cakes, etc., and smaller easier to clean air fryer.

We live the full time tiny home life, we purchased this as a full time oven, this is the best purchase we’ve made for this lifestyle. The door actually seals all the way, the heat is perfectly accurate, it’s extremely easy to set up and it looks amazing. The price of this nearly scared us away, we purchased the larger sized one, I’m so glad we went with it.As soon as you start pulling it out of the box you can see, and feel, the difference in quality. We were using one of those cheaper convection ovens and compared to this we may as well have been using a candle under a plate. We’ve burned through a lot of ovens, of varrying quality, and this is hands down the best we’ve purchased. It maintains an even temperature, though it does remind you to turn your food, and can even fit our Dutch oven with the lid on. The other extra wide oven we used couldn’t fit the lid and took forever to cook anything in it.If you’re using this for the tiny home lifestyle I highly recommend it, we have been blown away by the quality of the oven and how well if evenly cooks our foods. You can tell they put a lot of thought into making this and it’s on a totally different level compared to all of its competitors. I can’t speak as to how long the oven lasts, we’ve only had it for a few weeks, but you can see it’s build to last a lifetime. If you’re only using it part time you may want to go with something cheaper, it you’re looking for something to actually use as an oven then hit the buy now button, you won’t regret it.Edit on February 16th 2023.This over is still going strong and works exactly like it did when we bought it. We use it heavily and none of the markings have worn off and it still cooks to perfection. This is hands down the best Amazon purchase I’ve ever made.

Llego en excelentes condiciones y es el mejor horno que he tenido

Purchased it for my wife. She loves it. Uses it more often than our big oven. Great built quality. Very happy with it.
