The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro (BOV900) is the best value among premium countertop ovens. It uses Element IQ to steer six independent quartz elements, adds super convection and PID temperature control, and offers 13 functions including air fry, dehydrate, slow cook and proof. By the specs it has 1 cu. ft. of space and 1,800 watts, enough for a 13-inch pizza, a 14-lb turkey or a 9x13 pan. Breville lists it at about $399.95 regular price. One flag: AJ Madison lists it as no longer available, though breville.com is selling it.

Design and build
The BOV900 comes in brushed stainless steel with a 13-inch pizza pan included. It's a large countertop oven, so measure the counter depth and leave room above for heat. There's no app or Wi-Fi, which some buyers will see as a plus.
Performance on paper: Element IQ and convection
Element IQ is Breville's system for directing power across six independent quartz elements, so the oven can toast evenly or concentrate heat where a recipe needs it. PID temperature control keeps the temperature steady, and super convection drives air fry and fast roasting.
Thirteen functions include air fry, dehydrate, slow cook and proof. Capacity is 1 cu. ft., slightly more than the 0.9 cu. ft. listed for the connected Joule Oven. It fits nine slices of toast, a 13-inch pizza, a 14-lb turkey or a 9x13 pan. Breville doesn't publish a maximum temperature.
Who it's for (and who should skip it)
Buy it if you want a capable second oven or air fryer without an app, and value simplicity. It's ideal for small kitchens and families who toast, roast and air fry daily.
Skip it if you want guided cooking or phone alerts; the Joule Oven Air Fryer Pro adds those. Skip it too if steam or sous vide appeals; the Anova Precision Oven 2.0 is the step up.
Price, warranty and service
Breville lists the BOV900BSS at about $399.95 regular price, and it's sometimes on sale; we can't predict when. AJ Madison lists it as no longer available, so buy direct or confirm stock. Coverage is a 2-year limited warranty, per AJ Madison. It fills our third smart-oven slot because the Brava, June and Wolf Gourmet countertop ovens are no longer available.
