Doesn't look like it from the comparison:

'THE SMART OVEN AIR' has the dehydration but the 'THE SMART OVEN AIR FRYER' does not.
No. That’s the 900, which is stable down to ~30c. This stops out around 50c.
i also don't think the smart oven air is available in australia yet. The Breville Australia website doesn't list that model, i notice you linked the Canadian website.
Apparently they aren't interested in making a 240v model.
Not a matter of just importing their existing product.
Are they calling all fan forced ovens air fryers now?
Not since now, since always
I actually use my sunbeam BT7200 more then my gas oven since I bought it in August which is basically the same thing but takes way longer to heat up.
I use the sunbeam for everything the oven would do (has the same modes) except for very large things like a roast for 5+ people, costco pizza, 2kg lasagna.
Everything else is made in the sunbeam, super excellent for the kids lunches as the built in timer turns it off too.
For a family with young kids who don't own a microwave it's really useful and convenient.
wow, how do you make it without a microwave? There is not a single day that I don't use it, i could never survive by not being able to heat my food in the 30 seconds that my kids leave me alone
We haven't used a microwave for three months - moved it out of the apartment when getting ready to show it to sell, and just haven't brought it back. No dramas at all.
For a family with young kids who don't own a microwave it's really useful and convenient.
You should really try out a microwave - it's really useful and convenient!
We've had a microwave before, just never gotten around buying another.
I guess I would use it to reheat stove leftovers, but i guess the idea is to not have left overs in the first place!
And for things like milk we have the other small appliances (nespresso milk thingy).
I guess the pros haven't been overwhelming (unlike the sunbeam!!) but do miss things like throwing stuff in the microwave and forgetting/not worry about turning it off i.e. quick dirty mac n cheese packet!
Actually they are pretty good, I have a Phillips one and it cooks a frozen salmon in less than 20min. Plenty of foods done very quickly and keeping it moist inside. Big time saver.
I don't know if this Breville one is any good though as never used it.
What frozen salmon do you buy? Wanting to have some on hand
I buy these ones because it's what I have nearby: https://shop.coles.com.au/a/national/product/i-j-salmon-skin…
Ideally would get wild caught pacific salmon but couldn't find it. You can also buy fresh salmon and put it in the freezer to use later.
@kthomas: From frozen I cook in the airfryer for 15min at 200C, then I add some seasonings (sesame oil, minced garlic, pepper, lemon juice) and then cook for a further 5min at 200C again.
Watch out, you’ll get mass downvotes from the ozbargain fatties who have an air fryer on their gaming desk for emergency tendies.
It was always going to happen
lol at only noticing airfryers in 2020
Agree.
Ah right price shows as $429 until added to cart for the 10% off.. gotcha! Thanks
Got one. Useless. You can find YouTube videos with design flaws. Worse than the US model with same name.
I had a look at one and noticed this thick bar at the top when u open the door which reduces the height of the opening quite a bit. Would affect the size of the chicken you could fit in there I'm guessing…
I compared the BOV860 and ended purchasing the LOV600 from Target was $199 but now $249 compare and you will find the the target one is bigger and has all the features for way less. Large 28L Oven with Dual Speed Convection , 8 Multi function presets : toast, air fry, bake, rotisserie, grill, pizza, slow cook & dehydrate. Rotisserie with consistent & even convection heat. https://www.target.com.au/p/breville-28l-air-fryer-oven-lov6…
we used AFTER PAY $50 promotion and purchased for $150. Very good one at less cost.
Great low cost alternative, but personally I'd pay for the upgrades. Five elements vs four, etc.
Saw the Breville BOV860BSS at Costco. The inside is so tiny. Ok for a single person or a couple. But definitely not for a family.
Ive got one myself. Im happy with it no issues at all.
I switched from Philips XXL to Cuisinart and now the Breville.
But yes you are definitely correct good for single person, couples or a small family of three.
Can't wait for larger appliance style air dryers installed in your house, maybe installed under your stove.
Are your air that wet that you need a specific air dryer in your house?
Revolutionary. But given they don’t fry anything, maybe we should call them something more accurate. Like convection…something
Convection ovem?
With that mentality I suppose you don't need a tablet if you have a laptop.
They're very good for many reasons people outlined above. Sure maybe not for everybody if they don't have the space but you can't knock em.
One great thing about an airfryer is in summer, you can chuck it out on the deck, and all the heat (and smoke) generated just radiate outside your house, not inside.
It's a great little appliance for those cooking only for two or so people, and you don't get soggy undersides to things like chicken nuggets or potato gems (you can admittedly buy baskets for the oven that also fix this problem). Very short preheat time (if ever needed), my model you can chuck the bits that would get dirty into the dishwasher… it's a handy device and I'm really glad I bought mine coming on 3 or so years ago now.
how does the aldi $99 air fryer compare? i have the phillips but the tray is so small - thinking of getting the 23l aldi one or its equivalent
the aldi one isn’t brilliant, you need to take the tray out and flip chips over, it blows air from the side, the phillips blows air from the top and also underneath the food basket …..
I bought this from DJs for $395 two months ago after upgrading from my Phillips airfryer. I love it! The preheating is so quiet I forget that it's on sometimes but the loud beeping is a great reminder to put the food in when it's ready! Chips have turned up evenly crunchy without having to toss like I did in the Phillips one.
Issue I have:
- Can only air fry dry, non-dripping food. Whereas Philips air fryer can do chicken and marinated meat.
- Steam condensate and drips under the oven. Damages table top.
- Drip tray is not secure and you open and close the door. Burning hot to touch after preheat. Even cheap oven from Kmart has better insulated handles and outer surface.
- Not the same Smart Oven Air from US. AU version is smaller and has less functions.
Good:
- Preheat fast, because it's small
Is this the newer model with the dehydration feature?
